Author: Emmaline Hoffmeister

Emmaline Hoffmeister is the author of eight historical fiction novels and has published nine short stories in various publications worldwide. Left Behind marks Emmaline’s debut in Christian fiction and her first novel in over a decade. With degrees in accounting and psychology from Central Washington University and Brigham Young University-Idaho, Emmaline built a 12-year career as a fraud investigator, as well as an accountability, legal compliance, financial, and performance auditor. She later chose to become a stay-at-home mom, focusing on raising her two sons. In 2009, she launched her writing and publishing career. A lover of story, structure, and scenic places, Emmaline’s creativity is shaped by her travels and by the rugged beauty of North Idaho, where she now lives with her husband and two sons. When she’s not designing or writing, you’ll likely find her walking along the rivers and lakes near home, dreaming up new ideas with a journal in hand.
