Today’s topic for the June Writing Friends Challenge: Two Truths and a Lie… * My first job out of college was working in entertainment in L.A. * One of my other jobs was doing marketing and PR for a waterpark. * I get supremely nervous at Book Conferences & Book Festivals, especially when it comes to meeting readers. Which one is the lie???? #yawriterlife #writingfriendschallenge #yawritingcommunity #bookconferences #bookfestivals #yabooklover #yabooknerd #iwriteYA #IreadYA #YAstoryteller #yalit #yabookgeek #youngadultbooks #youngadultfiction #yawritersofinstagram #yawritersofig #yaauthorofig https://www.instagram.com/p/CQRMjFLrjPd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Author Life Month 2021 Day 21: Bookish Prized Possessions When I was a newbie writer I went to my very first book conference called RT. Unfortunately, the conference no longer exists, but the event solidified my drive to be a writer. On book signing day, I went into this vast room and was overwhelmed by the sheer number of authors represented. As I walked around and talked to authors, my stomach tumbled. For the first time in a long while, I felt I was in a place I belonged. With people who felt the same passion for writing as I did. I wandered around the tables and spotted the YA section. There was a woman with beautiful blonde hair sitting behind a table and she had the cover of her first book set out in front of her. I took a copy off the stack and began to read the blurb and I was hooked. I presented the book to the author who was so kind and asked her to sign it. On the plane home, I would devour the entire book. That kind author happened to be Leigh Bardugo. And that book that blew me away? Of course it was Shadow and Bone! Another author I met that day I already knew. I’d loved her debut, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. When I asked @apriltucholke to sign her book for me, she looked at my name tag and commented that she liked my last name-which you can see from the signature! On a funny side note, if you read April’s Wink, Poppy, Midnight, you might see my last name pop up. It is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in my publishing life!😊 #authorlifemonth2021 #authorlifemonth #bookishlove #prizedpossession #bookishprizedpossession #yabooknerd #yabookshelf #yabookgeek #shadowandbone #betweenthedevilandthedeepbluesea #writerlife #yawriter #yawriterlife #yabookconference #yabookfestival #yabooklove #yasignedbooks #yawritersofinstagram #yawritersofig #storyteller #storytelling #youngadultfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CN7z9SerAeH/?igshid=hxksnka89mza

Author Life Month 2021 Day 15: Tax Write-Off Ooof. How many research books and old maps does one girl need?

This is a deleted line from my YA debut, NOTHING BUT SKY. A portion of the line would later find its way into another part of the book, but in today’s world the last line really resonates with me. • • • • • #nothingbutsky #yahistoricalfiction #defiantgirls #girlsrule #yalit #yareads #instareads #yabookquotes #yabooklover #yawriter #iwriteya #iloveya #ireadya #yabooksofinstagram #yabooknerd #yabookgeek #yabookshelf #yabookworm #yabookquotes #yabooklovers #writinglife #writersofinstagram #igauthorlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B9b5EtGAA2s/?igshid=12v46tu9ylq21

Attention Teachers, Librarians, Readers, and Older students at home! • Today at 4 pm PST/7 EST, I’ll be reading from my second novel, Across a Broken Shore! • Stop by and listen to the opening pages & feel free to ask questions. • A little bit about the book... • The last thing eighteen-year-old Wilhelmina “Willa” MacCarthy wants is to be a nun. It’s 1936, and as the only daughter amongst four sons, her Irish–Catholic family is counting on her to take her vows—but Willa’s found another calling. Each day she sneaks away to help Doctor Katherine Winston in her medical clinic in San Francisco’s Richmond District. Keeping secrets from her family only becomes more complicated when Willa agrees to help the doctor at a field hospital near the new bridge being built over the Golden Gate. Willa thinks she can handle her new chaotic life, but as she draws closer to a dashing young ironworker and risks grow at the bridge, she discovers that hiding from what she truly wants may be her biggest lie of all. • • • #onlinereading #iglivereading #yareadaloud #teachersofinstagram #librariansofinstagram #yareadersofinstagram #yahistorical #yareads #yalit #iwriteYA #ireadYA #IloveYA #yainsta #yainstareads #yabooklovers #yabooknerds #yabookgeeks #bookaddict #yabookworm #readmorebooks #readingtime #readmore #igauthor #igauthorlife #writingcommunity #readingcommunity @fluxbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KUmBMAn9z/?igshid=jjzks4bj42k2

Writer Friends Challenge-June Day 1: Introduce yourself and your WIP. Hello! I’m Amy and I write YA Historical books with bold and brave female characters who smash societal boundaries. My newest YA Historical WIP is set in Edwardian New York. It’s a tale of trauma, heartbreak, and mistaken identity set against the glittering backdrop of early 1900s NYC. Hours upon hours of research went into this book, and I adore it, and the main characters, Maddie and Bennett with all my 💛! #writerfriendschallenge #writerfriendschallengejune #yawriter #yastoryteller #yahistoricalwriter #historicalfiction #historicalreads #kidlit #writingchallenge #iwriteya #ireadya #yabooknerd #yabookgeek #yawritingcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CPlVug9rJdY/?utm_medium=tumblr
