Amy is a Heartland Emmy-nominated writer who lives where the high desert is shadowed by the soaring peaks of the Sawatch Range, also known as Salida, Colorado. She is a third-generation Coloradan who returned to the mountains after over twenty years living in an off-grid, waterless cabin in Alaska. Aside from a penchant for living in places where nature is trying to kill you, Amy is a recovering environmental consultant who now appreciates plants while hiking or riding her bike. Amy’s debut novel, Voyage of the Pleiades was published in June 2023 (Fauve Press). She is editing A Garden of Shadows, the second book in the series, as well as working on other creative projects exploring our sense of place and identity.
