“Amy is gracious and generous to her readers and was especially so to one young man who had participated in the Library’s middle-school book group’s discussion of the youth edition of Wicked Bugs. He was very eager to talk bugs with Amy. She gave his questions as much thought and careful consideration as she did questions from adults. We received a thank you note from the young man’s mother, who said that meeting Amy has convinced him to start reading historical fiction. Another audience member, a student at Bowling Green State University, was awed and inspired by the detail of Amy’s research, the way in which her incorporation of history, science, social issues, combine to create engaging storytelling and characters. Amy and another audience member had an animated conversation about their love of epistolary novels. These kinds of connections are everything we hope for when we have an author visit.” — Wood County Library

“Amy Stewart’s visit to Wallingford was an unqualified success. She captivated a large audience. Listeners were fascinated by how she stumbled upon Constance Kopp’s story and impressed by the extent of her research into Kopp’s life and adventures. She was clear, thoughtful, engaging, and often very funny. Audience members had lots of questions for Amy, and she was a terrific sport about answering every one. Afterwards, readers stood on a long line waiting for her to sign their copies of Girl Waits with Gun, and everyone was delighted that Amy brought stamps bearing the real signatures of some of the people in the book. Library staff and patrons were still talking about the evening for several days after Amy’s visit. — Wallingford One Book

“Amy, you are a class act!! My phone is ringing off the hook with praise for the evening. I can’t wait for your next book! — Carmel Public Library Foundation

“Thank you for taking time out of your busy book tour to come to our library to do your excellent presentation on your book. You brought the audience with you on your journey to learn about the flower business from its beginning to the current stage. The people who came to the program all enjoyed your talk. It was a pleasure meeting you and hearing you talk about something you seem to be very passionate about. — Los Angeles Public Library

“We read and discussed her first book, Girl Waits with Gun, in two of our library’s book groups prior to her talk, so that helped spread the word about this marvelous series. Amy is an engaging speaker and weaves into her talk a lot of fascinating historical tidbits that she learned in the course of her research, so even people who hadn’t read any of the books found it interesting.” — St. Charles Parish Library

“We heard from tons of people that this year’s Spokane Is Reading was the best yet and it was because of Amy’s great book and her informative and entertaining presentation!
