Before Amy Hartman earned her BA from Pepperdine University, Malibu, she founded the fifth grade Hartman Public Library, a monument constructed out of two overturned desks, where she made her handwritten books available to classmates. Recently, she has published her first historical fiction novel THE VOYAGE OF A DRESS.

Amy was invited to write an article for Historic Nantucket magazine (published Fall, 2021) based on a discovery she made during her research for her upcoming novel SPIRIT GUARDIANS OF THE MANGO TREE.

Amy is a devout storyteller and loves to read everything from Moby Dick to fortune cookies.
