Amy M. Le is a Vietnam War survivor and CHD warrior. She was born in Vietnam nine months before the fall of Saigon and immigrated to the United States in 1980 at the age of five with her mother and cousin. Her family was among the hundreds of thousands of boat people who fled Vietnam after the Vietnam War. They were sponsored to Seattle, WA and made a life for themselves in the Pacific Northwest. Amy graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in
Sociology and worked in the technology and telecommunications sector for twenty years. After her mother's death in February 2017, Amy left her corporate career to write her debut novel SNOW IN VIETNAM as a tribute to her mother's heroic decision to flee their homeland. Her Snow trilogy are historical and women’s fiction novels based on her family’s life and are available through independent bookstores and online retailers. Today, Amy is a full-time writer living in Oklahoma with
her husband and son. She owns Quill Hawk Publishing and helps emerging authors indie-publish their work. She is also co-founder of The Heart Community Collection, a resource for the Congenital Heart Defect community.
Her latest writing project was as one of the authors in the book, Asian Women Trailblazers Who Boss Up book, which profiles 16 Asian women who have broken the bamboo ceiling to blaze a trail for themselves.
