WHO IS AMY?Amy B. Nixon is a designer and columnist by day, an aspiring fiction author by night and a 24/7 caffeine addict.
As an avid reader from a very young age, Amy has always wanted to contribute to the fascinating world of literature. Her latest project, "9 Minute Interviews", strives at helping authors and readers alike to connect with each other in a fun, light and non-time-consuming way. When she's not working or writing, Amy enjoys cooking, playing board games, taking roadtrips, shocking the people around her with dark humor, playing the piano and ruining group photos due to not being able to pose seriously for a proper picture. |

The personal, no bs version...
My love affair with dark literature kicked off during my teens (thanks, Pet Sematary and Children Of Hurin).
You’ll see dark motifs in all my works – from tortured psyches to sheer gore. Before you call the loony bin and ask them to pick me up, let me say I’m not planning murders in my free time, though I believe twisted psyches and gory obstacles provide an excellent playground for characters to grow and evolve as they face both internal and external struggles.
You might find triggers in my novels (violence, PTSD, descriptions of decapitated limbs or festering meat, loss of close relatives, and so forth). You’ll also stumble upon enchanting lands full of myths and legends. When romance is thrown into the mix, my heroes treat their women with monogamous love, sympathy and respect, regardless of their rough edges. And when there’s humor, most of it is bound to be sardonic.
