Emily Peraro English is the author of the fantasy novel Uniting the Heavens.
Emily finds pleasure in collecting her mom’s old Philippine folk tales, and spends time weaving together worlds for the characters who live in her head so they stop bugging her all the time.
Visit to the Marcaida Kali Studio
I contacted the Marcaida Kali and made arrangements to visit in Rochester, NY so that I could sit in on a class and observe in person. I wanted to hear the words they used and watch how and understand technique so that I could write better.
Into the Wood
I’m not the outdoorsy type. Don’t get me wrong—I love nature. I enjoy plants and flowers and fresh air. I especially love beaches. When Mark and I went to Scotland to visit the Isle of Skye, all I wanted to do was be outside, exploring waterfalls and standing in the shadows of mountains.
