Amy K. Nichols

Amy K. Nichols is an American writer whose teen fiction combines scientific ideas with questions about identity and choice. Now That You’re Here is the first part of her Duplexity sequence and introduces Danny, who crosses into a parallel universe, and Eevee, a science-minded student who may be able to explain what happened. Random House Children's Books presents the novel as a blend of science fiction and romance built around alternate realities, quantum physics, and contrasting versions of the same people. Nichols continues that design in While You Were Gone, which shifts attention to the alternate Danny and Eevee in the other world. Her own site groups both novels together and includes trailers she created using her background in graphics and web design. Now That You’re Here thus begins a paired narrative in which speculative mechanics support an intimate examination of how circumstances shape character.
