I'm Em, AKA Elenor Pountain [pon-tain].
I'm an avid reader who loves devouring books in her spare time. I'm a hopeless romantic with a dark, sarcastic humour. I'm a mum of 2 energetic daughters and 2 lively dogs as well as a wife to a very supportive husband.
I write steamy contemporary romances where the story lines are realistic and relatable. I enjoy making my characters come to life in my stories. At the end of 2024 I'll be writing some darker romances too. Who doesn't love a posessive alpha male?
I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them.

I’ve always had an overactive imagination; I’d create scenarios in my head when I was younger and play them out like having a dream when I’m awake. I started many a notebook with chapter one of different stories but never got further than that. Before I knew it, I was growing up and although that imagination was still there, life took over and my chapters never took flight.
When we adopted our first child, I had to head back to work after a year off, I started letting my imagination run wild and I started jotting ideas down, the endless strings of stories begging to be pulled at.
When Covid hit, I worked from home and enjoyed spending more time with our daughter. It was during those lockdowns, that we decided to expand our family and before we knew it, we were welcoming a baby into our family.
During my time off, the eldest was back at school and I had some downtime (I know that sounds odd with a baby!) so I took to my iPad and started writing a story that was in my head. This time, I didn’t stop writing.
By the time I was looking to go back to work, we decided for me to stay at home with the kids, instead of working just to pay the childcare bills. So, I wrote, and wrote, my characters taking over the story and even I didn’t see some of the plot twists coming.
We then moved back to the village I grew up in to be around more family. A friend introduced me to her friend who just happened to be an author. She gave me the confidence and encouraged me to carry on writing my story. She then introduced me to her editor who loved my story and we worked together to perfect it and make it publishing worthy. I mean let’s face it, I hadn’t done any form of “proper writing” since school.
This is how Falling for the CEO was born, the Falling Series has continued with the second book, Falling with Kiera, being published in April 2024 and I’m now writing the third and final book in the Falling series, with a new series plotting in my head. With each book I’m evolving as a writer, correcting the mistakes I have made with the previous book and with the support of an amazing husband, my family, friends, and the little author team I have around me, I plan to continue this journey.
Follow your dreams, it doesn’t matter how many chapters you start and don’t finish. Believe in yourself and you will find that team around you to support you.
