I'm Amy Trent, and I write cozy fantasy, sweet romance, fairy tale retellings, and various concoctions of the aforementioned. Banter is my favorite thing to read and write. But characters who are so well written they become friends are also my favorite. And cookies. Cookies are always my favorite too.

If you are a fan of any of the above, let's talk! Let's talk books! Let's talk fairy tales! Let's talk about what makes for the best, swooniest banter!

Embrace your cozy and subscribe to my monthly newsletter. Subscribers receive my novella, Curses, Diamonds, & Toads, for FREE. https://amytrent.com/newsletter/

When the little prince woke hungry and screaming in the dead of night, Amy rose and padded to the kitchen for some much needed sustenance; yet the cookie was gone!(less)

If Hansel and Gretel can eat their fill and eventually escape, I'm sure I can too. Or maybe I can just squat in the cottage after the witch has been dispatched and Hansel and Gretel head off to meet the Swan. I'll bring my TBR stack and spend a quiet holiday in the woods, reading and eating myself out of house and home.(less)

I love the fantasy that the power/strength/courage of a woman can be externalized to not one but two impressive, terrifying dragons. While _Iron Flame_ suffered a bit from second-book-in-a-series syndrome, the climax had me in tears.

I love exploring

“Papa had no plan. He had daughters. Twelve of them.

If only daughters could end wars as easily as fathers could start them.”
Amy Trent, Smoke, Steel, & Ivy: A Fairy Tale Retelling

“Everyone acts like the happily-ever-after is a given. They don’t understand that those endings have to be earned. And it is hard.” Her eyes clouded with tears. “It is very, very hard and very lonely work to get from the beginning of the story to the end.”
Amy Trent, Clever, Cursed, & Storied
