It's never "just a story."
Think about all the stories you've read, or watched, or maybe played. They leave a mark.
Amy Ratcliffe is the author of the upcoming Thrill Ride, an adult rom-com set in a family theme park, coming from Kensington Books in spring 2025.
She also wrote Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy, The Jedi Mind, A Kid’s Guide to Fandom, The Art of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Star Wars: Elee & Me, Star Wars: Battles That Changed the Galaxy, The Art of God of War Ragnarök, The Art of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, and Marvel Studios The Marvel Cinematic Universe An Official Timeline. She contributed a story to From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back.
Amy didn't figure out what she wanted to be when she grew up until she was a grown up. She started her writing career with a blog she created to hold all her fangirl enthusiasm about Star Wars: The Clone Wars (if you have plenty of free time, ask her about Ahsoka Tano), fictional alcoholic beverages—those kind of things. She found her passion. Eventually, Amy took on paid writing assignments for publications such as IGN, StarWars.com, LA Times, Fashionably Geek, Comic Book Resources, Orbitz, and Nerdist (where she went on to become editor-in-chief).
Amy lives in Asheville, North Carolina with her husband, cats, and the many birds that visit their backyard. She loves to eat a sandwich in nature.
