Amy Tintera

Amy Tintera started writing novels as a kid during her middle school science classes, which probably explains why she has always been very bad at science.

She has degrees in journalism and film, and worked as a talent agency assistant in Hollywood before becoming an author. Raised in Austin, Texas, she frequently sets her novels in the Lone Star state, but she now lives in Los Angeles, where there's far less humidity, but not nearly enough Tex-Mex. Listen for the Lie, her first novel for adults, will be published March 5, 2024 by Celadon/Macmillan.
