Amy Fontaine has studied hyenas, wolves, and other creatures as a wildlife biologist since earning her bachelor's degree from Humboldt State University in 2015. Her work has taken her to beautiful places, including Yellowstone National Park, the Sierra Nevada, the Gila National Forest, and the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Exploring new places is one of her favorite things to do. Amy's experiences with animals in the wilderness influence much of her fiction and poetry. Since she loves to daydream, fantasy and science fiction are her preferred genres. She enjoys imagining what the world could be and hopes to inspire a sense of wonder in her readers. In addition to writing, traveling, and conducting research on wild animals, Amy likes to play guitar and draw. Her fiction has been nominated for two Leo Literary Awards and one Cóyotl Award.
