Amy Kuivalainen is a best-selling Finnish-Australian author of mythic urban fantasy and paranormal romance, known for deeply researched stories that pair magic and romance with complex, formidable women.
An armchair mythographer and unrepentant archaeology and ancient history nerd, Amy is happiest three hours down a JSTOR rabbit hole, chasing a footnote about a ruined temple or a god nobody’s heard of — and most of her books started life exactly that way.
She’s proudly neurodivergent (AuDHD and dyslexic), and the instinct for spotting patterns across mythological traditions that comes with it is one of her superpowers as a storyteller.
Her series range from high-heat romantasy (The Tarot Kings, set in a magical future Venice) to treasure-hunting adventure fantasy (The Magicians of Venice), cozy paranormal romance (Sorcerers and Saints, set in her home city of Melbourne) to epic mythology-driven urban fantasy (the Myth and Magic Universe, drawing on Finnish, Russian, and Celtic myth). All of her books feature magic, mystery, and romance, with varying heat levels across the different worlds.
For those wondering, her Finnish surname is pronounced ‘Quiver-lay-nen.’
