She grew up watching old episodes of Doctor Who taped off the local PBS station, reading every Nancy Drew in the school library, and dreaming of telling her own stories one day. Amy went on to attend the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. There, she served as a mentor in the Women of the School of Film & Animation program, completed her thesis in screenwriting, and graduated with honors with a BFA in film. She also met her husband. When she's not writing, Amy enjoys people watching in the abundant Colorado sunshine, knitting her own sweaters, and sharing trivial facts learned in the name of book research.About the Book:1605, London. Beatrix lives a solitary life in the shadows, wandering the city streets looking for ways to forget. Forget that everyone she has ever loved has been dead for nearly a century. Forget that, for her, love can only ever mean loss. Because Beatrix has a secret: a lifetime ago her deathbed wish was granted, making her immortal.Until one day, while picking pockets amid the raucous crowds of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, she meets Oliver. They spend a single, perfect day together before he tells her that he has to leave. She’s not surprised; eternity is a lonely place.When Beatrix and Oliver meet again by chance a century later, recognition hits her like a bolt of lightning. It’s impossible. He’s impossible. Just like her. A chance for Beatrix to truly live—and love—again sparks into existence.Woven between the biggest events in history and the quiet moments lost to it, from London in 1605 to Woodstock in 1969 and beyond, All We Have Is Time is an unforgettable love story for anyone who believes love can rewrite the rules of time.
