ABOUT THE AUTHOR: EMILY ARONS
From Pokémon to Planet-Saving Adventures for Kids
After more than two decades leading creative projects at The Pokémon Company and Wizards of the Coast (Hasbro), Emily Arons turned her storytelling talents to children's fiction. Inspired by a lifelong love of adventure and imaginative worlds, she authored Miro Chronicles, a sci-fi novel that became a finalist in the 2021 Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contest.
Creating Worlds that Inspire and Protect
Her debut marks a bold new chapter in a career dedicated to sparking imagination in children worldwide. Rooted in hope and wonder, Miro Chronicles reflects Emily’s passion for encouraging young readers to dream, explore, and protect our planet.
A Passion For the Great Outdoors
When she’s not writing or developing new creative projects, Emily finds inspiration in the wild. Some of her most memorable adventures include:
- Running the Grand Canyon from rim to river and back
- Hiking Half Dome in Yosemite National Park
- Summiting Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous United States
- Trekking in the Alps beneath the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc
Today, whether chasing sunlight along running trails or smashing tennis balls across the court, Emily embraces the spirit of adventure that fuels her stories.
