Episode 102: Emily Skinner

Visit Emily’s Amazon page at: https://www.amazon.com/Emily-Skinner/e/B004TDBV9I/

Emily had a goal when she was 15, she would have a daughter named Marquel and write a novel titled “Marquel.” She accomplished both and more.

Emily was a protege of the late master of the pulps or paperback originals, Harry Whittington. Emily interviewed Whittington during her days as a feature writer for the Clearwater Sun daily newspaper and its weekly division. They became friends and he taught her how to plot and gave her approval of the original outline and sample chapter for “Marquel” shortly before he died in 1989.

After Whittington passed away, Emily challenged herself to write as her mentor did and wrote a chapter a day and finished the novel “Marquel” in 52 days. For more details on the novel’s history read: http://www.thefilmmom.blogspot.com/2012/10/why-book-trailer-now.html

Fast forward, a second daughter, Blair is born and Emily and husband Tom focus on raising their family. Both daughters are now grown and work in Hollywood. So this might be an example of art imitating life or the reverse?

A devoted Catholic, Emily is rekindling her love for writing and has just completed the movie script for “Marquel” and a young adult paranormal appropriately named after her youngest child, “St. Blair: Children of the Night.”

When Emily isn’t working as a marketing consultant or writing, she enjoys antiquing/thrifting and producing short films. Emily is the proud Executive Producer of Blair Skinner’s film “Relative Eternity,” a 2012 LA Shorts Film Festival selection, Sunscreen Film Festival selection and Short Film Corner Festival de Cannes selection. Written, directed and edited by Blair Skinner, “Relative Eternity” is on snagfilms.com for your viewing pleasure.

Time Stamped Show Notes

  • 0:18: Today we're here with Emily Skinner, who is a wife, mother, sales rep, author and screenwriter, currently residing in Tampa Bay Florida.
  • 0:30: You are the author of two series of books, the St. Blair series and the Marquel series.
  • 1:03: So tell me why did you end up writing these books? What was the driving force behind writing the stories?
  • 1:13: The first series, the Marquel series, started a long time ago. It's romantic suspense.
  • 2:03: I had to write another series after my youngest daughter so I came up with the St. Blair

Series. Basically that's why I had to write in two different names was because I had two different daughters and I came up with this brilliant idea when I was fifteen years old of all things that going to write a novel named Marquel and once Blair came along it's like okay I've got to come up with something for Blair and thank goodness I only have two children.
