Amy BriggsAmy Briggs is a full-time author, editor, and all-around story addict with a passion for romance, mystery, and the occasional murder (fictional only, she swears). A former firefighter and EMT from New Jersey, Amy grew up next to a military base-an exerience that continues to inspire the grit and heart behind many of her stories. With dozens of romance titles under her belt, Amy's dive into cozy mystery was born from her love of puzzles, small town charm, and the satisfying thrill of solving a whodunnit. Her books are known for blending suspense, swoon-worthy moments, and characters that feel like friends (or possibly suspects). Now based in Texas, Amy shares her home with more cats than she can count and two dogs who run the household. When she's not writing or editing, you'll find her on the mats as a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, teaching women's self-defense, running an MMA gym with her brother, or plotting her next twisty mystery over a strong cup of coffee.
