Author Spotlight: Amy Allen

Amy Allen was almost a pastor, in a previous life. Obviously that didn’t work out so well. But after a few years spent writing mostly fan fiction and itty-bitty short stories, she got brave enough to try her hand at writing something bigger. Lo and behold, people liked it, so here she is now.

Amy is a trans woman who lives in Virginia with her brother and their two cats. She currently works in a used book store, surrounded by giants whose shoulders she longs to stand on. When she’s not writing or working, she plays an unwise amount of video games and tabletop RPGs, and volunteers at a local museum. From time to time, she even manages to read a few books.

Amy is the author of the new Bella Books title, Embers and Spark, due for release in November 2025 for the 2025/2026 publishing season.

Keep up the good work, Amy!
