Biography

Amy Martin wrote and illustrated her first book at the age of ten and gave it to her fourth grade teacher, who hopefully lost it in her house somewhere and didn't share it with anyone else.

The first book she published as a grown-up, In Your Dreams,was a semi-finalist in the Young Adult category of the 2012 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Competition. She has published four books in the In Your Dreams series, and she is also the author of The Perfects series.

Amy lives with her husband and a ferocious attack tabby named Cleo. When not writing or reading, she can usually be found watching sports, drinking coffee, or indulging her crippling Twitter habit (and, sometimes, doing all three at once).

Smashwords Interview

When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I read pretty much anything I can get my hands on--everything from magazines to the latest Young Adult fiction. I spend way too much time on social media (Facebook and Twitter are my favorites), and I love watching sports. I also love hanging out with my husband and cat watching movies.
When did you first start writing?
I first started writing in grade school, and I was a creative writing major for a while in college. I'd always give up creative writing for a while and then come back to it. For example, in my twenties, I was working on a graduate degree and writing mostly academic papers and articles. By my early thirties, I was getting burned out on academic writing and needed to refocus my brain, so to speak. So, I turned to creative writing to help my academic writing, and now I find I can't give up creative writing and go back.
