Stories that cross worlds.
I write speculative, paranormal and young adult fiction under three pen names — and I help other writers and businesses tell their stories clearly, from first draft to finished page.
Hi, I'm Amy.
I'm a writer based in Sumter, South Carolina, and I've been publishing my own fiction since 2014. My Gullah Geechee roots shape the stories I tell — the places, the voices, the sense that the past is never far away.
I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Full Sail University, and my work has ranged from story direction and youth writing education to ghostwriting, developmental editing and technical documentation.

The Daughter Who Borrowed Tomorrow
Episode One: The Tomorrow Market
Time is the only currency that matters. The poor sell it. The rich drink it. And the families who own the Market are always thirsty for more.
Sixteen-year-old Nova Quinn only knows that her mother is dying, the bills are impossible, and the scholarship that was supposed to save them both just went up in smoke. Then her best friend tells her a secret: beneath the city, there's a market where the desperate trade years of their lives for money. Nova is about to discover what she's worth. So is everyone else.

My year of literacy outreach
Reading for every age
#LiftingLiteracy is my 2026–2027 campaign connecting literacy organizations with the communities they serve. From the joy of reading in childhood to teens building the comprehension they need to read to learn, and adults growing as lifelong readers, it's about widening access to reading for everyone.
