Amy has always needed a creative outlet, from printing waterless lithography to swirling up decadent cupcakes to writing speculative fiction for children. She brainstormed her first
novel during long waits in carpool lines and while
folding laundry. The incessant buzz of characters
and conflict in her mind drove her to plot storylines on the
backs of envelopes, receipts and anything that resembled
paper no matter her location in the moment.
She received her B.A. in Art Education from the University of Kentucky and currently resides in Louisville, KY with her family.
Amy is a member of Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), and serves as one of their Social Directors
in the MidSouth Region. She also participates in
NaNoWriMo, WriteOnCon, Storymakers Conferences
and two SCBWI critique groups.
She loves gathering with other writers
to develop her writing craft as a lifelong learner
and to dress in costume for festive conference galas.
