Amy Christine Parker
Over the years Amy has been, among other things, a doll maker, a fondue waitress, a fifth grade teacher, and a stay at home mom. Now she writes contemporary young adult novels full time when she isn’t tackling the Mount Everest of laundry piles and refereeing smack downs between her two very lively daughters. Her writing leans toward contemporary at it’s core, but always includes a dystopian or paranormal twist. She is represented by Lucienne Diver with The Knight Agency. Her book, GATED, debuted with Random House in August 2013. GATED's sequel, ASTRAY, will release on August 26, 2014.

After chasing "sensible" careers and changing her college major six times, Stefanie finally put her foot down and decided to focus on what has alway been her passion: being a writer.
