The struggle in Amy’s formative years contributed to her desire to shape worlds where readers can flee to and bask in joy. Amy was born to Laotian immigrant parents whom escaped to the refugee camps in Thailand before they could safely immigrate to the U.S. She grew up in an urbanized small town–Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Due to her heritage, Amy emphasizes community-driven narratives where familial connections and friendships help the characters overcome the many obstacles they face.

On her journey to creating beautiful visual narratives, Amy earned a cinema production degree with a focus on screenwriting. All her studies and life lessons helped shape her various projects ranging from horror to humor. When she’s not writing, her extracurriculars still influence her literary works. For example, her background in wrestling, judo, and jiu-jitsu enhance her adrenaline-filled action scenes. Don’t be fooled as she is not as tough as one may think, anyone that meets Amy compares her to a blundering Labrador. That comparison can be seen in her writing as humor is sprinkled throughout her pages.

As goofy as she may be, she is very serious when it comes to her creative pursuits. Amy continues to work hard in developing high-quality content. She is humbled to have the opportunity to share her imagination with the world. She currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
