About this author

Amy Joy earned four degrees and changed careers twice before realizing what she loved most was writing. Now she writes serious and silly stories for adults and kids—because life’s full of seriousness, but it’s no fun without a healthy dose of silliness. Still crazy about her writer husband, CN James, Amy Joy's writing often features love stories she hopes will inspire others to believe that true love isn't just a fairytale. Her dystopian romance, The Academie is a second round finalist in the 2012 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.

Amy Joy is the founder of the Indie Writer’s Network, and when she isn’t writing or managing the network, she teaches college writing. You can learn more at www.amysjoy.com or her series website www.theacademieserie...more
