In a small town in Central Pennsylvania you will always find me with my daughter hunting for stories. They tend to hide right in plain sight, and they are always easier to find when wearing the appropriate story-hunting clothes.

I've been writing since I could hold a pen and even though I often trade that pen for a laptop keyboard, I'm still a fan of pens of unusual colors that write very well. ​

In college I studied English, deciding that the best way to keep studying would be to become a teacher. I learn from my students every day as we talk about words and how they can be pieced together to alter the very world around us.

Amy passions are writing short fiction and children's literature. I am currently working on a middle-grade mystery novel. A member of SCBWI, I take writing classes, voraciously listen to authors speak about their craft, and read as fast as I can because there are always new books appearing on my shelf...as if by magic.
