Amy Bell was born and raised in Utah, where she currently lives with her husband and 2 year old son. She is a system administrator by day and an aspiring writer by night. She’s been writing since she was in elementary school and could be found staring out the window during long road-trips, writing stories in her head. As an aspiring fantasy-romance author, she loves creating relatable characters that are changed and shaped through adventure, hardship and love. She hopes to create characters that inspire others and help them believe in the world around them and in themselves. When she’s not writing, Amy loves to go on epic adventures with her husband and son, play boardgames, go on long walks while listening to Harry Potter, and eat ice cream while snuggled up with a good book.
