Where
she came from there were no windows. The sounds of buzzing equipment
and the doctor's shouting rang through her ears daily. It was too
uncomfortable to call home and too familiar not to be. Like it or
not, she was an experiment.
Filled
with childlike wonder and innocence, she took pleasure in stories,
imagining what it would be like to live in those pages. A longing
growing deep inside her.
She
knew she'd never have that life... Not in the lab. Not with them
studying her every move. So she decided to do something terrifying.

Amey Zeigler
wrote her first mystery with her best friend in fourth grade. She wrote, the
friend illustrated. It also had a cute boy in it with spiky hair (because that
was the style back then). Not much has changed. She loves mysteries. She loves
romance. She loves suspense. She loves action, adventure and comedy. But she
wants it to have a happy ending.
Because she grew
up moving all around the United States, Amey loves writing about different
places. In her books, she explores the whole world.
Growing up, Amey
was always trying new things. She played violin, drums, flute, piano, all
before she was sixteen. She also discovered she didn't have much talent for music.
When people asked
her what she wanted to be when she grew up, she was afraid to tell them she
wanted to be a writer because she didn't know how to write.
She is so
grateful for her Sophomore year Honor's English teacher who gave her a star and
five points (out of five!) for Voice on her personal essay. Otherwise, she
wouldn't have had enough courage to pursue writing.
In her spare
time, she adopts stray furniture left on the side of the road, fixes it up and
gives it a new look and home. Amey lives with her husband and three children
near Austin, TX.
