Amy Marie Ayres is a prolific author who writes across satirical speculative fiction, urban fantasy, and now romance . No matter the genre, her stories are where humor and darkness coexist, the surreal becomes a mirror for the truths we avoid, and identity is always a moving target. Her work walks the line between the uncanny and the absurd, using satire to expose the cracks in our world and vivid storytelling to slip through them. She is the author of the Marilyn DeAllan series: Origins, Abyss and more recently Elsewhere, with Haven and Eden forthcoming as books four and five. She is also the author of the Luccee Winterscott series, a dystopian sci-fi trilogy set in the 2080s that follows two siblings on opposite sides of a corrupt megacorporation in a world where introversion is a crime and grief for the former world is their battleground. The series won the Literary Titan Gold Book Award for its opening novel Star Lost. Her standalone novella She Went Rogue is a punk-laced tale of three young Fae carving out a sound in the smoke-cloaked basements of 1970s Manchester. Amy is also published in multiple anthologies. Her forthcoming novel, MAX/CHARLIE, marks her first venture into psychological romance. Readers can expect second-chance love, slow burn, forced proximity spice, dual timelines, and a third-act worth every page of the build. Beyond her fiction, Amy runs Offbeat Ink’s Book Finishers Lab, where she works with neurodivergent writers to help them finally finish their books.
