Emma Forrester writes about ordinary people whose lives become anything but ordinary. Her fiction blends emotional depth, recognisable relationships and British humour, with characters who don’t always know what they’re doing but have to carry on anyway.
Her Queen’s Road series brings the apocalypse to a Somerset street deeply unprepared for the end of the world. The neighbours argue, improvise, share food and discover just how much they need each other. The dead are a problem, but they are not the only threat. Begin with Queen’s Road, then return to the street in Queen’s Road: Beneath the Silence.
The apocalypse is the setting. The neighbours are the story.
In After the Ordinary, four standalone stories take a quieter speculative turn, exploring belonging, grief, identity and hope. Familiar lives shift into something unexpected, raising questions about what we hold on to, what we leave behind, and where we find a place for ourselves.
Across her books, Emma is drawn to the complicated business of caring about other people: who shows up, who stays, and what happens when those connections are tested.
She lives in Somerset. Away from writing, she enjoys reading, spending time in her garden and building Lego.
