About

Sebastian Emery writes character-driven speculative fiction — worlds where the strange details aren’t just backdrop; they’re the engine. He has been building them since he was old enough to read one, which he considers adequate preparation. He is based in St. Petersburg, Florida.

By day, Sebastian works in technology consulting. It pays bills and feeds children.

His current project is the Crystal Empire trilogy: an epic fantasy following Demara, a woman fighting to save her people in a world that ends every year. What started as one very ambitious novel became three books as the story blew past the intended word count.

He is also one of the co-creators of Paths of Constellara — a collaborative science fiction shared universe built with two fellow authors. Set in a star cluster connected by ancient interstellar portals, it’s a playground for space opera, psionics, and the kind of worldbuilding that keeps getting bigger the longer you look at it. Stories from the universe, including the full text of Starchasers and the Sanctum of Ktheron, are available to read now.

He lives with his wife and two children, who have so far declined to read his drafts. Because they’re toddlers.
