About the Author


My name is Amie Lynne Martin, and I’m 23 years old. Currently living outside of Portland, Maine, I’m originally from Voluntown, Conn. I have a BA in journalism with a Spanish minor from Southern Connecticut State University, where I graduated in 2007.

Aside from writing, I play a few video games, mostly RPGs like the Final Fantasy series, and dabble in graphic design. I waste a lot of my life on the Internet. I love to read science fiction and fantasy – current favorites include Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (which I highly recommend reading for the sheer absurdity of it). Musically, I am a huge fan of Andrew McMahon and his two bands, Jack’s Mannequin and Something Corporate. Other current favorites include Fall Out Boy, Treaty of Paris, Queen, Vanessa Carlton, and Howie Day.

I am the proud owner of a one-year-old kitten named Lily, who loves to cuddle and chase bugs and play with her sparkly green mousey. She’s adorable and I’ll be the first to admit, I spoil her rotten.

I’ve had a few articles published here and there, most recently in the Conn. magazine Metroline. I successfully completed an internship with the New Haven Register in their features department, where I interviewed Cyrus Bolooki of New Found Glory, among other artists. I am currently working on revising my first novel, currently titled And You Tell Me I Am Home.
