Ami Maxine Irmen has spent her entire life moving back and forth across the WI/IL border. She currently resides in Green Bay, WI. She holds both a BA and an MFA in Creative Writing and teaches full time. Her first novel, All Falling Things, is forthcoming from Scarsdale Publishing. Her short stories and poems have found homes in journals such as Sinister Wisdom, The Copperfield Review, and Glass: A Journal of Poetry. She writes quiet stories under the genres of Magic Realism, Women's Fiction, Science Fiction/Fantasy, and Murder Mystery.Ami Maxine is on a quest to find the best chocolate, the best chai, and the best whiskey. She can spit a cherry pit 39' 11.5" (and holds six state championship trophies for doing so), she believes that learning is a lifelong endeavor, and she refuses to pick between cats and dogs (and you can't make her).
