Emilya Naymark

Emilya Naymark is an author of female-led and female-centered crime and suspense novels and short stories. Her work has been nominated for the Sue Grafton Memorial Award and the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion and has received starred reviews from industry publications.

She was born in a country that no longer exists, grew up in New York City, created art for book covers, magazines, and albums, fell in love with technology, and made a career of working with bits and bytes.

After years absorbing her NYPD detective husband’s adventure stories, she decided to turn them into fiction (mostly), and began writing crime novels.

When not writing, Emilya works as a visual artist and developer and reads massive quantities of psychological thrillers, suspense, and crime fiction. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her family.
