As such, she developed quite an imagination. She went to college in upstate New York and received a Bachelors of Science in Management. She then went on to graduate school and received a Masters of Business Administration in International Finance.<br /><br />Amy’s true passion lies with creative writing. It took her quite some time to complete this project as she works full time and spends the rest of her time with the family. Amy lives with her husband and two children in Long Island, New York, not too far away from where she grew up. Amy Pitarra is a first time author and is looking forward to writing her second.<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><a href="mailto:Jampitarra@aol.com"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">EMAIL THE AUTHOR HERE</span></a><a href="mailto:Jampitarra@aol.com"><br /></a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9187727872342779937-7140277989961220094?l=emilyovertherainbow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><i>Author and Illustrator</i>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03208390961287387231noreply@blogger.com
