Emily Hainsworth is a young adult author known for her gripping thrillers and romantic sci-fi narratives. Her debut novel, "Through to You," published in 2012 by Balzer+Bray/HarperCollins, blends romance with speculative fiction and earned critical acclaim, including a spot on the Fall 2012 Kids Indie Next List and a starred review from VOYA magazine.

Born in Syracuse, New York, Hainsworth relocated to the Rocky Mountains, where she drew inspiration from the contrasting landscapes for her atmospheric storytelling.
