Amy Herring grew up beneath NASA’s shadow in Rocket City, USA (Huntsville, Alabama). But instead of becoming a rocket scientist, literature captured her imagination. She has been passionate about fantastic literature and media from her earliest years.

Inspired by the transition of fellow Washington and Lee law alumnus, Terry Brooks (Dragon*Con 1994 guest), from lawyer to best-selling fantasy author and Ann Crispin’s Dragon*Con 2000 and later writers’ workshops, Herring has been writing genre and mainstream stories and novels with an eye toward a career change from her current law practice. Two of her genre stories have been published under her nom de plume, Louise Herring-Jones: “Slimed” in Northwest Passages: A Cascadian Anthology (Fandom Press/Windstorm Creative, 2005) and “. . . would smell as sweet” at www.shorthorror.com (2006). She hasn’t given up her day job . . . yet..
