Episode 435 - Amy True - From Swoony Romance Novels to Young Adult Historical Novel
Amy Trueblood grew up in Southern California only ten minutes from Disneyland which sparked an early interest in storytelling.
Her debut YA Historical novel, NOTHING BUT SKY was a Junior Library Guild selection and was called, “An action-packed first novel exploring the post-World War I époque with visceral period detail” by Publishers Weekly. Her second novel, ACROSS A BROKEN SHORE, also a JLG selection, was named a Best Feminist Book in Children’s Literature by the American Library Association. It also won the Gold Medal for Historical Fiction in both the Independent Publisher Book Awards and Moonbeam Children’s Awards.
Under the name Amy True, she writes swoony romance novels with both heat and heart. The first book in her new Ivy Falls series, Meet Me in Ivy Falls, debuts this summer with another book following in late fall.
Now living in Arizona, Amy spends most of her time trying to stay out of the sizzling heat which means hiding in cool little coffee shops, sipping on her favorite iced tea, and dreaming up her next novel.
Amy also writes as Amy True
