I have always had an intense interest in American/Iranian relations. While traveling in Australia, I got the idea for Emma of Iran, and became obsessed with the story. My many Persian friends have encouraged me along the way, to bring a story to life from a unique perspective. I believe that we need to find a way to make peace with each other, and I'm hoping this story helps that process. Good and evil exists in both countries, we all need to accept that fact. I believe also that it is time to ask... "What about peace with Iran?"
