Amy Maltman’s first novel, Ride Every Stride, reached #1 on Amazon charts around the world. Born and raised in northern Ontario, Canada, Amy grew up obsessed with animals and Star Wars. Not much has changed.

A graduate of the Universities of Guelph and Toronto, Amy is now a disabled pharmacist with syringomyelia, a rare spinal cord disorder. She enjoys spending time with her menagerie of pets (which is never large enough), watching too much TV and too many movies (including Star Wars, Supernatural, and True Blood marathons), reading, and collecting Funko Pops.

Amy is passionate about animal rights and the environment. She dreams of opening an animal sanctuary and naming it Boomerang Farm and Sanctuary, in honour of her golden retriever, Boomer, who died from cancer in 2015.
