When I was a child...
…if someone told me I could grow up to live in New Hampshire,
This is what I remember about getting here.
It wasn’t always easy. I laughed a lot anyway. People call me lucky and it’s true. Also, I work very hard. I crave eternal things like love, peace, and joy. So I study and practice, study and practice, study and practice. Everything else happens after that. Here are some of my favorite study guides and a cute tote bag in which to carry them:
The Holy Bible
The Four Agreements

Just after Y2K, I drew myself a new friend and named her Gg. I wrote for her and a director came along to help create several full-length stage plays. Gg has some one-of-a-kind merchandise and she continues to inspire me and others to this day, most recently with our podcast, Meeting Gg. Check it out when you can!

One day long ago, my husband came home to find every flat surface of our home in the woods covered with gingerbread cottages and landscapes. He, like others, began calling me Gingerbread Amy and since my mother was born on Christmas Day gingerbread is in my DNA!

I still write plays of all kinds and enjoy seeing them produced from time to time by the best in the business!
Thank you for your interest and, remember, like Gg always says, the future is wide open.
