Emma Lenford

Waking up in a deserted Wisconsin woods surrounded by masked members of a family witch-gang at 3:00 a.m. on a school night? Check. Becoming captured by a deeply demented elder alongside the one member of society that you probably despise the most? Yep, check. Emma Lenford's life hasn’t been this heart-stopping since she spotted Jon Bon Jovi’s tour bus at the local 7-Eleven. Written as a series of seriously ill-fated situations, What Now, Emma Lenford? is like a sit-com that takes the death-defying to the level of detrimentally hilarious...no television set required.

Alexa, how does one reverse a curse? Because Emma Lenford’s horrendously hapless luck has not improved since her last few brushes with the law enforcement of Wisconsin. Now, though, there’s an old guy in a hot tub and a possible pregnancy to deal with (though, please note, both are completely unrelated), among so many more misfortunes. Emma Lenford is truly the unluckiest 17 year old on the planet. She keeps her sense of humor, though, through this series of seriously ill-fated situations.

Emma Lenford is truly the unluckiest 17-year-old on the planet. But she keeps her sense of humor through this series of seriously ill-fated situations. Her life is basically a sitcom where one traumatic thing after another befalls her, and it's all out of her control. She's constantly kidnapped, held at gunpoint, and even arrested for things she honestly didn't even do.

Some people just don’t know how lucky they are. Including Emma Lenford, who’s just lucky enough to vomit on international television, win a trip to Wisconsin’s worst-kept vacation hotspot, and even find out that she’s related to some very infamous faces. Despite her newfound “luck”, Emma struggles to find a way to gain control of her life. She’s fully convinced that she’s been somehow cursed, and she has to figure out how stop the tragedies that keep befalling her before they get a little too out of control.

Seven years of bad luck. Shouldn't be too much for a sarcastic teenager with nothing going for her but a raging foot fungal infection and prospects of working at an off-brand Chuck-E-Cheese the rest of her young adult life... right? Well, Emma Lenford sure knows a thing or two about bad luck. Accidental vomiting spells, vehicular collisions, and even spontaneous pregnancies have followed her throughout her whole high school career. Now that graduation has come, though, how will the next chapter of her life unfold?
