AMELIA POMPEII
 

Raised at 8,000 feet on a dirt road in the Colorado mountains, Amelia Pompeii's life has always moved like a story: seven-foot snowstorms, barefoot summers, and neighbors who kept peacocks.

​

Homeschooled until middle school, she spent those years in a nontraditional education that emphasized dance, improv, acting, horseback riding, and art. 

​

Amelia later earned a degree in Journalism with an emphasis in prelaw and a minor in sociology, grounding her storytelling in psychology, research, and observation.

​

Her work blends intimate interiority with voyeuristic psychological realism, exploring contemporary womanhood through mythic frameworks and high-emotion, high-stakes character arcs. She writes with the curiosity of an adventurer and the precision of someone trained to study people and their patterns.

​

Today she lives in the city but never lost her mountain ferocity or her appetite for new experiences. ​

​

She shares her home with her husband, their menagerie of rescue pets, and their four-year-old daughter who is an excellent collaborator in crab doodles, imagination development, and all of the barefoot wild adventures that inspire the stories.

 

Well… not ALL of the adventures...
