Amy Cross is a British Author with Polish roots who writes fantasy, horror, and comedy. The author’s first name is Amy. However, ‘Cross’ is not her real surname. The author’s Polish ancestry is such that her surname is a little long and a little too difficult to pronounce. Additionally, Amy likes the privacy that a partial pseudonym gives to her.

+Biography

Amy Cross is a fiction author that has made quite the name for her with the unique manner in which she approaches writing and publishing. The author deals with both novels and short stories. Many of her series are actually short episodes that can be collected into full-length volumes down the line.

Amy Cross, like most authors, knew that she wanted to write for a living when she was very young. Her mother had a part to play in Amy’s decision regarding her future career. Not only did she tell Amy stories but she always made an effort to write them down.

They were short simple tales no more than a few pages long. But they had an impact on Amy who realized that the writing of books was something anyone could do. Amy was always an avid reader.

Her favorite authors included C.S. Lewis who she admired for producing some of the most imaginative fantasy realms she had ever encountered. She also felt drawn to the works of Norton Juster. Some of the author’s favorite memories involve reading ‘The Phantom Tollbooth’ a few dozen times.

Interestingly enough, despite the rather dark pools of creativity she always seems to draw from, Amy’s reading interests were not always dark. Naturally, she gravitated towards the likes of Stephen King as a child. However, the author also had a love for Emily Bronte. In fact, one of Amy Cross’ favorite novels is ‘Wuthering Heights’. Amy has always appreciated the blend of romance and adventure that the book brings to the table.

Amy believes that her knack for reading so many drastically different genres as a child molded her current approach to writing, which is very experimental. Amy likes telling stories that no one has ever given much thought to.

Even when she is producing horror, Amy always strives to play with concepts and writing styles that surprise and disarm her readers. Amy admits that horror, which is the genre she most frequently plays with, always presents challenges for her, even when she thinks she has the field figured out. Amy is especially fatigued with the effort it takes to not repeat herself.

Unfortunately, the author finds that she is always going back to the same words to describe the macabre and the horrific. But Amy likes the challenge of keeping things fresh and new. Amy’s biggest focus when she’s writing horror is ensuring that she balances physical scares with their emotional counterpart.

She takes pleasure in scaring her readers without having to employ blood and gore.

Amy’s foray into the writing arena wasn’t easy. But it wasn’t as challenging as she expected. Because Amy was always writing short stories, mostly for fun, she eventually decided to take a chance by sending a few chapters to traditional publishers for consideration.

Not one ever got back to her, and Amy Cross would have been happy to forget about publishing at that point in time, content in the fact that she had given it her all. But then Amy discovered self-publishing and realized that she did not need the help of a traditional publisher to pursue her writing dreams.

Amy initially had her eyes set on television. Because she used to produce stories based on television shows like Doctor Who as a child, she considered applying her energies to the screenwriting arena.

However, that particular dream faded from her mind. And once she discovered Amazon KDP, there was no turning back. She knew that she could produce as many stories as wanted without the irritating oversight of a traditional publisher.

Amy Cross doesn’t hold a hostile view towards traditional publishers. She just doesn’t think she could thrive in such a world. Self-publishing allows her to control the technical and financial aspects of her work.

Not that life is all roses for Amy. The author has a real job. As such, she can only write in the hours between getting home from work and before going to bed. Amy’s goal is to get as many as 10,000 words written on any given day. And she almost always achieves her goal.

Amy will be the first to tell you that her life revolves almost completely around her writing. The author will take a moment to walk her dog. Amy’s ideas often emerge during those moments as she is walking her dog or even while she undertakes long journeys on the train.

However, when she isn’t walking her dog or hanging out with her friends, Amy Cross is on her computer getting as much writing as possible done. You won’t find that many authors who can write an entire novel in a week.
