Amelia Stone

Amelia first stepped onto ice at the age of three. It didn't go great, but over time a love of the crisp cold and winter grew. An early knee injury meant her skating always remained only for fun, but she could watch others. The hockey season was sacred, but watching figure skating became her refuge. Her writing tries to convey that love of the sport and artistry's ability to heal the broken.

Her works often inhabit the liminal spaces of life from airport terminals to too empty hotels, spaces where anything truly seems possible. The moments between taking your position on the ice and that first note of music.

Her characters strive to overcome the hardships they have faced, often not knowing what their true limits are, they push themselves too far.

Love is the light that finds those tragically beautiful souls and shows that they deserve happiness and to no longer be alone.

Amelia's favorite place to write is a coffee shop when the drumming sound of rain dulls the chatter of the customers.
