Just One More Chapter

Amy E. Bryant

Why, hello there! I’m Amy, and I write Middle Grade & YA Fantasy Adventure with a little bit of magic and lots of heart. I live in the South Island of New Zealand (Middle Earth), only a bowshot from the world’s most gorgeous river.

My favourite stories are the ones that stir something deep inside us, calling us to wonder and adventure, bravery and belonging. Those ones that carry an eternal spark, whether that’s the whisper of “Courage, dear heart” on the darkest of nights or simply the reminder that there’s Something More.

These are the stories I love to seek out and endeavour to write. I hope you’ll come with me on the journey! See what I’m working on.

This manuscript won the ACFW Genesis Award (YA/Middle Grade category), and The Oxford/Pushkin Children’s Fantasy Prize, and was a finalist in the Realm Makers Aurora Contest.
