Amy J. Wenglar was born in Austin, Texas and enjoyed a childhood based on a steady diet of Ramona Quimby books, I Love Lucy re-runs, and Looney Tunes cartoons, which gave her an appreciation of classical music at a very young age. This love of music led her to play the trumpet and piano through high school and college where she played with the University of Texas Longhorn Band while pursuing a degree in Journalism. With an insatiable hunger for vampires, ghosts, and anything paranormal, she set out to write the first book in her Urban Fantasy series, The Sophia Kelly Chronicles, almost seven years ago after leaving an especially toxic relationship that left her mentally drained but creatively empowered. Amy now lives in Bellevue, Washington with her husband, two dogs, and a cat. She spends most of her time making up stories, taking pictures, and watching re-runs of Gilmore Girls.
