After spending thirteen years as a corporate litigator in New York City, I left to write and advocate for working women, and eventually women entrepreneurs, as VP, Community & Designer Relations for ShopFunder LLC.
My first novel, "Lemongrass Hope," debuted in October 2014, as an Amazon best-seller (Romance/Fantasy and Romance/Time Travel) and now I'm a full-time writer, even though it looks like I'm eavesdropping on people at the local coffee shop. Just kidding, I am eavesdropping.
My sophomore novel, "Secrets of Worry Dolls," released in 2016 and was named a Bronze Winner in the INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards (Multi-cultural Category) (YAY!) My third novel, "The Truth About Thea," (2017), is a Francis Ford Coppola Books & Bottles inaugural pick, and a National Indie Excellence Award Winner (Legal Thriller). My fourth novel, "Why We Lie" (2019) has been featured by Publisher's Weekly, Booktrib and more. My fifth novel, "I Know How This Ends" (2020) has been called "Perfect for fans of THIS IS US" by BookTrib and Foreword Reviews said "its density evokes Dickens." (Gasp.)
The Riversedge Law Club Series is my newest project and the first two books - IN HER DEFENSE and BARR NONE - are available now!
I also have a non-fiction book published by the American Bar Association called "Lawyer Interrupted" - a how-to guide for leaving the practice of law - something about half of all lawyers want to do. Who knew?
I am the Past President of the Women's Fiction Writers Association, and a proud member of the TALL POPPY WRITERS - a community whose tagline says it all: "Bright Authors, Smart Readers, Good Books." Come hang out with Tall Poppy Writers and Readers in our amazing online book community called BLOOM.
I am a frequent speaker across the country, a 2018 Writer-In-Residence at Ms.-JD.org (& recipient of their 2019 "Road Less Traveled Award") and a faculty member of the Drexel University MFA Program in Creative Writing. My home base is Reading, Pennsylvania. (pronounced RED-DING, but still, perfect, no?)
I am eternally grateful for my family, my friends, and the recent research confirming that large amounts of coffee are indeed good for you (& me!)

My name is Amy and I am an author, a writer, a lawyer, and a mother of three.
Which tells you everything.
And nothing at all.
