Bio
Who Is Amy Marsden?
Amy Marsden has always wanted to be an author, so naturally she has a degree in biomedical science. Unable to resist the pull of writing, however, she started her first novel, Survivors, while she was still at university. She has since thought up more novel ideas than she can keep track of.
As part of the LGBTQ community (lesbian), she wants to see more representation and diversity in media. As such, all of her main characters will be queer.
Amy lives by the sea with her wife and their seventeen year old cat. She is the jar opener and her wife is the bug catcher. When she's not writing she's daydreaming about writing.

Show Me Your Teeth
Out now!
A little over a year after the company retreat that saw the end of the Beyer Corporation, paranoia begins a slow climb up Anna’s back. She wants to leave Dublin before hunters catch up with her and Michaela, but the familiar twinge of hunger adds a layer of difficulty she’d thought she’d dealt with.
Not only that, but Anna reconnects with an old friend at the wrong time, drawing the attention of hunters.
And, at long last, the woman she can’t get out of her head.
Reconnecting with Saira seems wonderful on the surface, but it comes with a price. Anna finds herself firmly on the hunter’s radar and the only way out seems to be a path no vampire has dared tread in a century. But Anna isn’t one to back down from a fight, and she’ll be damned if she doesn’t destroy them first.
The thrilling sequel to We’re All Monsters Here, with more twists, sapphic romance, and a touch of found family.
We're All Monsters Here
Out now!
When Anna is invited to a secluded retreat full of selfish, greedy humans, of course she doesn’t say no. Not only did she manipulate the CEO of the world’s largest oil corporation, Peter Beyer, into organising the four-day getaway in the first place, but no self-respecting vampire would ever turn down such easy prey. Her weekend gets even better when she meets Saira, one of Peter Beyer’s employees, and they begin a whirlwind affair. Blood and beautiful women are Anna’s idea of a great time.
She should have known it was too good to be true.
Hunters are dangerous, deadly, and dedicated to eradicating vampires. When a group of them turn up at the retreat, Anna must use her centuries of experience to escape their ever-closing net. Will she get out unscathed, or will they finally catch up to her? Will she give into her intense and unexpected feelings for Saira, or will she leave her to burn as she destroys all evidence she was ever there?
A fresh twist on urban fantasy, with an added splash of sapphic romance.
SURVIVORS
Out now! Available from Amazon and NineStar Press
It's Jennifer's 24th birthday and she plans to spend it having fun with her friends. Instead, she ends up running for her life through the dark streets of London.
Her world is torn apart by a new disease, the likes of which has never been seen before. The government's decision to conceal its deadly nature exacerbates the panic, and in all the confusion Jennifer is bitten by an infected person.
That's it, right? Her life is over.
Wrong.
Immune to the virus' ravaging effects, Jennifer finds herself with a small group of survivors. Together, they must fight to stay alive long enough for a cure to be found. Humanity won't be beaten by a virus.
But madness looms large, and safety seems forever out of reach.
The Safe Zone
When Jennifer and her group of survivors arrived at the castle, she thought they were safe at last. With strong walls and strong soldiers surrounding them, the threat of infected became negligible, and she could finally relax for the first time in what felt like forever. But the need for a cure outweighed Jennifer’s personal comfort, and the castle didn’t have the facilities needed to synthesize a vaccine from her blood.
She should have known safety wouldn’t last.
Back out in the world plagued by infected, Jennifer and her group head to Paris, where they could begin to find a cure for the virus that decimated humanity. But things don’t go according to plan, and they are left scrambling to get away with their lives.
Determined to find a safe place to hunker down and ride out the worst of the apocalypse, Jennifer and her broken but hopeful group return to the UK. Once there, they soon find that the infected aren’t the only threat.
A story about found family and overcoming the odds, The Safe Zone is the thrilling conclusion to the Survivors duology.
