Amy Sillup
I have a B.S. in Chemistry from Delaware Valley College and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania. I have worked as a bookseller, a label/Material Safety Data Sheet author, a litigation associate, and as a volunteer attorney for Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts and Legal Aid of Southeastern PA.
I have been writing for my own amusement since grade school, and have been submitting my fictional work for publication for several years. My dark fantasy/horror short stories have been published in Poetry Lane, Skyline Publications, and Midnight Times. My interests/hobbies include exercise, music (Metallica to Mozart!), and film (anything from genuine classics to MST-3000-worthy B-movies).
My husband and I currently reside in the Philadelphia suburbs.
