Y <br /> bread class for The Artscenter, where students responded enthusiastically to discussions of science, <br /> inspired Emily to write Bread Science, a book about the science and craft of baking, written in <br /> understandable language. She realized her childhood inklings had been correct, and she was meant <br /> to be a writer. Emily's second book, Somewhere and Nowhere, is a memoir of a bicycle trip from <br /> New Jersey to Oregon that explores the benefits of living in the present moment. Self-help author <br /> Ragini Michaels describes the book as "An enjoyable and worthy read for anyone interested in living <br /> a more balanced and happy life." Emily is currently working on a fiction novel. She also copyedits <br /> academic papers and fiction writing. She advocates for self-publishing and welcomes the new <br /> opportunities authors have in the digital age. Emily lives in Hillsborough, where you can often see <br /> her bicycling through town. She serves on the board of the Eno River Farmers Market. Her favorite <br /> things include letters sent through the mail, Made-in-the-USA knee socks, and very dark Fair Trade <br /> chocolate. She is also passionate about recycling. <br /> 2. Public Comments (Limited to One Hour) <br /> (We would appreciate you signing the pad ahead of time so that you are not overlooked.) <br /> a.
