A.M. Arthur was born and raised
in the same kind of small town that she likes to write about, a stone's throw
from both beach resorts and generational farmland. She's been creating stories in her head since
she was a child and scribbling them down nearly as long, in a losing battle to
make the fictional voices stop. She
credits an early fascination with male friendships (bromance hadn't been coined
yet back then) and "The Young Riders" with her later discovery of and
subsequent love affair with m/m romance stories.
An avid reader of het romance, her first foray into reading published m/m romance (slash fanfic doesn't count) is thanks to a Dear Author review of K.A. Mitchell's CHASING SMOKE. After devouring K.A.'s existing backlist, she dove headfirst into other authors. While she prefers contemporary, she'll occasionally sample an historical or SFF m/m romance.
A.M. wrote her first m/m stories in the guise of Kish fanfic (the Kyle/Fish romance from cancelled soap opera "One Life to Live." As her stories were met with more and more positive feedback, A.M. was inspired to try her hand at creating original m/m romance. And the rest is history.
When
not exorcising the voices in her head, she toils away in a retail job that
tests her patience and gives her lots of story fodder. She can also be found in her kitchen,
pretending she's an amateur chef and trying to not poison herself or others
with her cuisine experiments.
