About this author

Amy Plum is the author of the International Bestseller DIE FOR ME, which is an Indie Next List pick, Romance Times top pick, and recipient of a starred review from School Library Journal. DIE FOR ME is the first novel in a YA trilogy set in Paris. The second, UNTIL I DIE, will be released in May 2012.

After being raised in Birmingham, Alabama, in a rather restrictive environment, AMY PLUM escaped to Chicago to an even more restrictive environment at a university that expelled people for dancing. (And where she was called to the dean’s office for “wearing too much black”.) After all of that restrictiveness, she was forced to run far far away, specifically to Paris, France, where she only wore black and danced all she wanted.

oliviasbooks Amy, I WILL write to you, because everything turned out really fine for me in Until I Die (Revenants, #2). I am not even pissed at Papy anymore nor did I gnash my teeth because of the cliffy. How did you do that? Caramel overdose?


message 66: by Amy

Amy Plum All I've seen is English, American, Norwegian, Bulgarian and now German. The Turkish should be coming out this month, French will be May 2012 and Russian...I'm not sure, but it's not out yet!

And thanks - I love the Norwegian too, and "met" the designer. She is delightful!

Amy Plum I think that it is GORGEOUS - so different from the others and I love the art nouveau style. By the way - did you get the present I sent you last week? :)


oliviasbooks Amy, I just noticed the German cover Von der Nacht verzaubert and title (Enchanted by the Night). Love them!!! Green is my sister's favorite color. So she'll love it.

My husband Michael, is a big techno geek. (As I like to call him). He is into all the new high tech gadgets. And I guess in his field of work those types of doo dads are convenient. He keeps trying to talk Michaela and me into Nooks, or Kindles. We are a bit old fashion I guess, when it comes to our reading. We both like the feel of the book in our hands. The ability to turn the physical pages. I know he is trying to sell us on it because of the space we'll save, ... but in my opinion, there is nothing like the real thing! :) Sharing the literary world with your child is something that is truly precious! We get to explore different worlds together and then sit for hours comparing notes. It has giving us a lot to bond over. I know sounds silly, but with the way todays world vies for our young peoples attention, that is a huge accomplishment! Thank you for adding something to our "in common" list! :) I am sure we will both thoroughly enjoy book 2! You are a gifted writer! Have a great week!

Amy Plum Ha! I love your husband's response to the two big readers living under his roof. Am hoping it will be the same with my daughter, although I have a few years to wait! (She's 4.)

Best, Amy

I totally agree with you, Carol! My daughter is 16 and we read all the same books. My husband said between the two of us, he has no clue how this world has any trees left! ;) Michaela and I both LOVE this book and can NOT wait until the next installment of this series is released. Ranks high on our favorites list!
