Emmerson James Spurrell was born June, 1980 in the Fraser Valley region of British Columbia. At the age of twelve, he became inspired by such authors as Beverly Cleary, Roald Dahl, and Douglas Adams. He soon discovered his love for writing.
In the years since, he's immersed himself in the writings of such authors as HP Lovecraft, Michael Crichton, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Robert Jordan, Terry Goodkind and others.
In 2000, he moved to the small town of Ladysmith, British Columbia to discover himself.
Now, in 2008, EJ finally finished work on his first full-length novel. Instead of going through the monotony of sending the manuscript around to publishers, he opted instead to start his own Publishing company, Celephi Book Publishing, where he would publish his own work and the work of others. A website was started at
www.celephi.com.
Now, he is the owner and founder of Celephi Book Publishing. His first book, Engines of Creation: Children of the Halo will be due for release in the latter half of 2008. Keep your eyes peeled.
