Amy Laurens is an Australian author of fantasy fiction for both adults and young adults. She has lived in the same city all her life, which some people think is boring, though she prefers to think of it as stable. At present, Amy lives with her husband Boy, her son SmallBoy, and a yellow Labrador who thinks he is a lapdog. His nickname is Sir Pees-a-lot. Surprisingly, the dog is the most jealous of the time Amy spends on the laptop. After a university education involving many twists and turns, through more faculties than ought reasonably to exist, Amy is a high school English teacher at a girls’ school. By night, she is a story-writing goddess; at least, that’s what she tells herself to get the words done, and since it seems to work, let’s not disillusion her. Her short fiction has appeared in magazines such as Allegory, Tower of Light Fantasy, and AlienSkin.
