Amy Richie: Writer, Mother, Daydreamer
Once upon a time, in a magical place called Ohio, a lovely child was born to Pam and Mike Richie. They named her Amy. She grew up safe and secure with two sisters and a young brother. Jenny, Molly, and Michael (Haley and Renae were added later). The young Amy's favorite game as a child was to make up worlds inside the cornfield where witches and unicorns lived.
As Amy grew and was forced to attend the public school, she took her love of make believe worlds and put them on paper. When she was thirteen she began to dream of a family - a family of magic and darkness; the Letrell's.
Before long the child grew into a woman and was tricked by a handsome man who ended up being a toad. Amy's world was turned upside down when she found herself with a child of her own and the toad had hopped away. Gavin was a perfect baby though and she happily set aside her great love of writing to work in a sweat shop to support them.
Many years passed and Amy once again found love. This time it was with an evil lord who ruled with an iron fist. He squished all her dreams and made her his prisoner. Soon, Amy's love of make believe worlds were tainted by his jealousy and turned into a curse.
Just when things seemed hopeless and the world would never be bright again, a wonderful thing happened. The evil lord was captured and locked away in a dungeon and Amy was allowed to escape. She had two more children by then - Arabelle and Elijah.
Now Amy and her three children; Gavin, Arabelle, and Elijah live in a tower high above the world. While she waits for her hair to grow out long enough for her true prince to climb up to her, Amy finds other ways to escape the tower - make believe worlds captured on paper.
