My name is Amira.

I eat a lot of food.


I published my first novel over the summer. It’s called The Sowing, and it’s the first book in a young adult, science-fiction trilogy about a girl trying to avenge her sister’s death and a boy trying to find out why the girl he loved disappeared. I wrote it with my mom,  Kristy, and my sister, Elena, who I love to death and are constant sources of inspiration for me.

I run a lot. 

I work at a winery. 

I'm also working on a serialized story called Porous. It's experimental YA, in a genre I'm calling "scientific paranormal". Check it out and join the conversation on my blog, http://artz3.wordpress.com. There's a new chapter every Monday. 

I’m 24 years old.

I’m a girl.

Cool.
