Amy Burnham Mucha spent her childhood in various parts of New York and New Jersey dreaming up stories of power and magic while exploring the woods around her homes. Amy’s love of books led her to Kenyon College where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in English Literature. Though she does not own a time machine, she once spent a summer as a Victorian candlemaker. After spending twenty of her adult years in the sunny South, Amy finally found a town full of book lovers where the weather is always perfect for a hot cup of tea. She is now firmly ensconced in Hanover, New Hampshire with her husband, two teenagers, and many spoiled pets. She still spends her days walking through the woods spinning stories of power and magic, only now she gets to share them with the world.
