She drinks too much coffee, has opinions about organizational politics, and thinks the most interesting thing about the future isn't the technology — it's who controls it. Get the newsletter

Ember Blackburn writes dark sci-fi romance set in near-future worlds where corporations have replaced governments, AI has replaced trust, and the only honest thing left is what happens between two people who know better than to want each other.
Her fiction lives in the space between thriller and romance — stories where the tension is structural, the heroes are compromised, the heroines refuse to behave, and the heat is non-negotiable. She writes for readers who are tired of being handled with kid gloves.
Before she started writing fiction, she spent years inside the machine — navigating corporate hierarchies, watching who actually gets ahead and why, and developing strong opinions about power, systems, and the gap between what organizations say and what they do. All of that goes into the worldbuilding.
She lives in the Pacific Northwest, drinks too much coffee, and is probably writing something she shouldn't be. Get the newsletter
