Amy Renshaw

Amy Renshaw fell in love with mysteries as a kid, when she discovered Nancy Drew books in her grandmother’s attic. She admires strong, smart women who blaze new trails with courage and determination. Whether as living or historical heroes or as characters in fiction, they shape our perceptions and serve as role models for building a more equitable world. Strong Suspicions, the first book in the Sophie Strong Mystery Series, fulfilled Amy’s lifelong dream to create her own dynamic female detective. When not writing mysteries, Amy works as the Senior Editor at Brilliant Star magazine and Brilliant Star Online, award-winning media inspired by the principles of peace and justice central to the Bahá’í Faith. She lives in Wisconsin, where she hikes in the woods, enjoys jigsaws and crosswords, and loves anything chocolate. She’s also the author of the nonfiction book, Voyage of Love: ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in North America. She loves to hear from readers!
