Emily Kemme
Emily Kemme writes about human nature, illuminating the everyday in a way that highlights its brilliance in her novels, Drinking the Knock Water: A New Age Pilgrimage and In Search of Sushi Tora, and her new anthology, It Starts With a Fish, based on her blog, Feeding the Famished. She is also a recipe creator but doesn’t like to be labeled a foodie (the proof is that she knows where every KFC is on I-80 between Greeley and Iowa). Throughout her writing is a skein of humor that leaves a lasting impression. She is a regular contributor of food and feature stories for NOCO Style Magazine, the Greeley Tribune and MyWindsor Magazine.
