Amy Willoughby-Burle lives in the mountains near Asheville, NC with her husband, her children, and a plethora of animals. By day she teaches high school creative writing and journalism and by later that day she cooks, cleans, homeschools her kids, avoids laundry, pets her cats and dogs, and looks her coffee cup that is always missing. Thanks to her very supportive husband, she also sneaks away to write. Shhh, don't tell anyone where she is.
