Amy Tector has spent more than 20 years plumbing the secrets squirrelled away in archives — whether it's uncovering a whale's ear (true story) in a box of old photographs, or working in The Hague for the United Nations' International Criminal Tribunal for War Crimes in the former Yugoslavia, she has been privy to hidden records and extraordinary secrets. Amy’s debut novel, THE HONEYBEE EMERALDS was published in spring 2022. Her second novel, THE FOULEST THINGS, is the first in a loose trilogy centered on murders and mayhem in the archives.
Amy has a PhD in English literature and lives in Ottawa with a daughter named Violet, a husband named Andrew and a dog named Daffodil. We also talked about Leonard Cohen and his song Who by Fire; having the first draft of a novel focusing on the story, then the characters; and of course her latest novel, Speak for the Dead. Thank you very much Amy for a great conversation.
