From Sand and Ash (Harmon) - Author Bio

Author Bio
Amy Harmon is an American author of more than 10 best selling novels. She has also been a motivational speaker, a singer (with the Emmy Award winning Saints Unified Voices Choir directed by Gladys Knight), a teacher, and a mother of four.

Harmon grew up in a small town in the state of Nevada, the daughter of two school teachers. She and her siblings had no television (but plenty of wheat fields) so they entertained one another. Amy also turned to her own imagination — reading books (Jane Eyre at 12!) and writing songs and stories.

As an adult, Harmon spent 10 years in Las Vegas, singing, teaching, and raising her family. She taught in a small private school, both elementary and middle school grades. Later she home-schooled her children. Eventually, Harmon moved from writing songs and poetry to writing novels. She ended up self-publishing her first two books in 2012: Running Barefoot (in April) and Slow Dance in Purgatory (in August). Both became bestsellers, as have most of her books. They have been sold in 12 countries around the globe. (From various online sources. Retrieved 5/26/2017.)
