Amy Martinsen was born in Mesa, Arizona and has lived in the same neighborhood, on the same block and with the same people her entire life. She loves these people and has learned that you don't have to travel to remote places to find fascinating stories; they are all around you if you are willing to listen and learn.

Amy received a Bachelor of Arts in English Education from Arizona State University and a Master of Arts in English from Northern Arizona University. She is the author of "The Tower of Babel and the Teaching of Grammar: Writing Instruction for a New Century" published in the September 2000 English Journal and the short story Lilly's Photograph by Moose Enterprise in October 2002. She is also the author of two novels: Changing Worlds published by Walnut Springs Press in 2015 and The Secret Obituary Writer published by Walnut Springs Press in 2016.

She loves to hear a reader have the "I just have to know what's going to happen next" moment and strives to achieve that in her stories. Learn more about Amy and her writing at www.goawayimreading.com.
