Amy Deardon Bio
I'm married with two children. They both earned their black belts in tae kwon do last summer.
I
am a Ph.D. scientist (under a different name) who did bench research
before I quit to stay home with our kids. My specialty is physiology, and I love it. I also love writing and story
structure. Besides tapping on the computer keyboard, periodically I play the
flute. The most moving performance (for me) was playing for a crowded
memorial service for a serviceman killed in the Pentagon on September
11th, 2001.
I took over a year on a personal quest to investigate the claims of
Jesus' resurrection with the goal of destroying them. To do this I
studied Biblical accounts of Jesus and numerous commentaries by
believers and skeptics alike, listed the facts agreed upon, and began
to explore scenarios that could explain what was known. To my surprise
and considerable dismay, the evidence kept pointing away from
naturalistic explanations and eventually formed a virtually certain
case for the resurrection of Jesus. Finally I admitted defeat and
became a Christian.
My first novel, A Lever Long Enough,
combines my loves of technology and derring-do with the universal
longing for transcendent truth. I believe there is a rational basis for
this longing.
