HOW IT GOT STARTED

Hello and welcome to my little corner of the Internet! I'm Amy and I'm a blogger.


It all started when I launched a blog to compliment my award winning student radio show 'Amy In The Studio'. When I left university, I continued to blog and worked with my sister to create AmyandEllen.com.

Ellen and I enjoyed blogging together for over 10 years, but we have decided to pursue our own writing interests.

​

Welcome to my first solo blog.

​

Here you can find my attempts to reconcile my life with the bible, sprinkled with film and book reviews, a few short stories and other musings.
