Short bio:

Amy Orrell is a writer of science fiction, fantasy, thrillers and romantic comedy. She lives in Norwich, in the East of England, with her husband, two children and writer’s support cat.

Long bio:

Amy grew up in a family of artists and writers where discussions about dragons and leprechauns flowed into debates on the existence of extraterrestrial life or the probability of time travel. Painting was Amy’s first artistic calling – her artworks focused on narrative art – but the complexity of the stories she wanted to tell demanded something more, and naturally led her to writing.

Amy likes to write thought-provoking science fiction, fantasy and thrillers, delving into her characters’ emotional lives whilst delivering fast paced thrills, twists, and turns.

In pursuit of balance, Amy also writes Motherland meets Bridget Jones style rom-coms, because it’s important to laugh, even if it’s at yourself.

Amy lives in Norwich, in the East of England (which, contrary to popular opinion, is not flat), with her husband, two children and writer’s support cat.

Official Blurb:

England, 2150 – time travel has accelerated climate change and set humanity on the brink of destruction. As a Person of Mixed Era Origin with the ability to recall parallel versions of time, British historian, Jack Elliot, seems the perfect candidate to travel to the past and prevent the advent of time travel.

The catch? Success means Jack will cease to exist.

Critically injured when he arrives in the past, Jack’s life is saved by Maddie, a second-generation immigrant and resistance fighter, who mistakenly believes he’s connected to the disappearance of her sister, Suraya.

Jack’s denial soon unravels with the discovery that Suraya can lead him to his father – the man who robbed him of his mother – and the inventor of time technology.

What begins as a fragile alliance soon puts their feelings and their missions to the test. Jack’s won’t be the only life affected by his sacrifice, but does he have the right to decide who should live and who should die – and will it be worth it for the futures he and Maddie hope to create?
