Emily Schultz

Brian Joseph Davis Dept: TORONTO - Emily Schultz had long toyed with the notion of writing a story about fair-haired women, but it was a random advertisement in a magazine that finally spurred her to tackle her new novel, "The Blondes.", according to Winnipeg Free Press. "They looked so vampiric, as if they were ready to murder somebody. They had the eyeliner that almost made their eyes look sunken in and I just all of a sudden said 'The Blondes!' and as soon as I said that, even though I was still joking around ... I just knew that I had to write the book and I started to take the idea seriously." Author Emily Schultz poses in this undated handout photo.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO - Brian Joseph Davis "I was on a flight to New York ... and I was reading a Vanity Fair and I noticed that all the ads seemed to feature blond women and I opened up to this Gucci spread in particular and it was a gang of blond women," recalled Schultz, who divides her time between New York and Wallaceburg, Ont., where she grew up.
