about me


I write because I can't not write.

'Cassidy Brown and the Worst Two Weeks Ever' is my first attempt at writing middle-grade fiction. Let me know what you think!

I do my best to return reads, but if it's been a while and I promised to read your book, please remind me!

I can be contacted at emilydmarston@gmail.com

Cassidy Brown and the Worst Tw....

Emily Marston

Fourth grade is hard, especially for Cassidy Brown, whose overactive imagination, smart-aleck tongue, and insatiable curiosity are constantly getting her into trouble.


Okay, so who knew that if you tried to pull a tablecloth out from under your dinner, it would make a mess everywhere? Or that frogs aren’t exactly welcome in school? Cassidy Brown always ends up finding these things out the hard way.

For the school science fair, she wants to do a project about cats, her favorite animals. The problem is that everyone pretty much knows everything there is to know about housecats and lions. Maybe if she could find a new cat, one no one has ever seen before, she could impress her teacher and win first prize.

The science fair isn't the only thing on her mind right now, either. Her Great-Aunt Mildew is coming for a visit, and she'll be sleeping in Cassidy's bed, smelling up her room with her wet-cellar odor and forcing Cassidy to use a sleeping bag on the floor.

And just when she thinks nothing worse could possibly happen, she’s proven wrong: she finds out that icky Jimmy Colgan has a crush on her.

'Cassidy Brown and the Worst Two Weeks Ever' is complete at 28,000 words.

Fade--YARG Review I really enjoyed this. Right from the outset I could really sympathize with Marielle and her brother, and as I read I found the other characters to be as well-developed and real as she was. Uncle Thomas came across to me as a bit one dimensional, but that's to be expected, since... view book

I really enjoyed this. Your descriptions are wonderful, and your characterizations of the people of Thailand are excellent (I especially enjoyed when Boontam assures you she'll drive safely and then tears down the road with you on her motor scooter). Reading this is probably about as close to Thaila... view book

The Alienating Ambassador YARG Review You have a really good pitch, and I was very interested in reading your book after I'd read it. I have to admit, though, that the title was not one I'd pick off the shelves to read. Prologue: I wonder if this is necessary. After reading through your entir... view book

The Puppet Spell--A YARG review I read the first three chapters and I really enjoyed this. Lexa is a great character, and the book, which starts out seeming to show a fairly typical teenager with a fairly typical (if nomadic) life, quickly escalates to something much more intriguing, and much mor... view book

Memoria: a YARG review This book is just the sort of thing that is so popular now. I really like the premise of the story: that memories are currency, traded for Necessities. Inara is an interesting character. She's very independent, and mature far beyond her years. The opening of the story i... view book
