About the Author

As the daughter of a career librarian Amy grew up loving books; 'Patience & Fortitude' at the NYPL were her heroes. Beginning with Amy's first book of historical romance which was titled, "The Heart of a Legend," she began developing the storyline for a new series, (Tallent & Lowery) which moved her into the world of action and adventure/alternative history, however she had to temporarily place Tallent & Lowery on the back burner when her YA career spiked with The Angel Chronicles series.

Tallent & Lowery just wouldn't be put to bed so easily and Amy, the ever obedient author, found the time to bring these remarkable characters to life. "13" is the first book in the seven book series.

Working as an editor in the publishing industry for decades, Amy is now the Owner/Operator of The Write Companion (www.thewritecompanion.com) which offers full editing, ghostwriting and proofreading services to authors.
