Emmy Laybourne is a novelist, teacher and recovered character actress. Emmy's first series, MONUMENT 14, tells the story of fourteen kids from Monument, CO who are trapped in a superstore as civilization collaspese outside the gates. The sequel, MONUMENT 14: SKY ON FIRE, picks up the story as some of the kids leave to try to make it to an evacuation site in Denver, while others are forced to remain behind.Trivia: if you think Emmy sort of looks like Mary Catherine Gallagher's best friend from the movie Superstar, you're right! Emmy played Helen Lewengrub in that fine film, along with many other delightful bit roles.
