Amy Impellizzeri was a highly successful litigator in New York City for over ten years at one of the largest law firms in the world.  Working around the clock, with three young kids at home, and a husband in medical school, Amy was stretched pretty thin.  She started to wonder whether she was living her most authentic life. In 2008, the Great Recession afforded her an unexpected sabbatical and an opportunity to rediscover her love of creative writing.  She started with an essay and just kept writing.  After a year, Amy wasn’t ready to go back; she wasn’t convinced she ever would be and negotiated a three-year unpaid leave of absence.  She never went back.  As the primary breadwinner for her family, her decision was a risky one with big financial consequences. Amy was undeterred.  Ultimately, her family made the difficult decision to move out of New York City, back to rural Pennsylvania.  That was 15 years ago.  This week, Amy’s seventh novel, Barr None, will hit the shelves.  Starting with Lemongrass Hope in 2014, her works of fiction are infused with mystery, fantasy, romance, and even time travel.  We couldn’t help but notice that the main character in her most recent book, In Her Defense, is a former lawyer-turned-podcaster named Ingrid!  Amy has also authored/co-authored two non-fiction books, including How to Leave the Law, with co-author Liz Brown, who we interviewed for Episode 16 of This is My Silver Lining.Amy’s successful career transition prepared her for other life changes.  In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, she and her husband made the difficult decision to get divorced after being married for 24 years.  She likes to say that she is on the “healing side” of that experience now, where she is able to look back and recognize that although it was difficult, it was the right decision for her and her family.  In its own way, leaving the law a decade earlier prepared her for the sense of lost identity and grief that came with divorce.  With the benefit of hindsight, Amy would not necessarily have designed so many significant life transitions for herself in a concentrated period of time, but she knows they happened as they needed to and that each challenge prepared her for the next.  Her best advice:  “say it out loud!”  Give voice to your dreams; you never know who is listening!  Episode Links and Resources:Amy ImpellizzeriBarr NoneIn Her DefenseLemongrass Hope

Say it Out Loud: Celebrated Author, Amy Impellizzeri, on Rediscovering Her Voice Through Her Writing

On this episode, I talk to Amy Impellizzeri about her disorienting legal thriller In Her Defense.You can also watch the episode on YouTubeAuthor LinksInstagramGoodreadsWebsiteAmy's PodcastCheck out the book hereIn Her Defense SynopsisIngrid DiLaurio lives in Riversedge, New York, four express train stops from Manhattan. Don't be fooled: With its tree-lined Main Street, and quaint ambiance, Riversedge is only impersonating a small town. While it's a place small enough for everyone to know each other's secrets, few do. The town revolves around the prestigious Riversedge Law Club, where deals are made and cases are resolved and where Ingrid DiLaurio -- a former lawyer turned nationally recognized podcast host - has never once been made to feel welcome.When Ingrid's husband, Peter, is found dead, and Ingrid's former friend, Opal, is arrested as the prime suspect, the press quickly seizes on Opal's past as a single mom and stripper. Ingrid's first priority is protecting herself and her son, Drake, along with her business, from salacious gossip. But when Opal finds herself in desperate need of a defense lawyer, she tells Ingrid she wants to call in a "favor," and Ingrid reluctantly returns to the law for one last case.As the trial unfolds, Ingrid realizes quickly that she has taken on more than she bargained for, including Opal's dark past, a corrupt judge, a blackmailing prosecutor, another dead body, and a black tinted car that follows her everywhere. In the end, it's clear that both women know more than they are letting on about Peter's death, but who will tell the truth first?And is the truth what anyone really wants to hear?

Tipsy Ellipses Bonus Episode with Amy Impellizzeri

Proper pacing is not just a good thing to have in your novel. It’s crucial to your reader’s experience. If the pacing is too slow, the reader will lose interest and get bored.

I’ll explain what that means in this episode. So, tune in and listen as my guest host and I unpack the topic of perfect pacing and discuss ways you can keep your readers not just interested but engaged and flipping the page to see what comes next!

Episode 67 - Setting & Maintaining Perfect Pacing (with Amy Impellizzeri)

Amy Impellizzeri is a reformed corporate litigator, former start-up executive, and award-winning author of fiction and non-fiction. Amy’s latest novel, I KNOW HOW THIS ENDS, is a time-bending follow up to her bestselling debut, LEMONGRASS HOPE. Foreword Reviews says “its density evokes Dickens” while BookTrib calls it “Perfect for fans of THIS IS US.” Amy...

Author Amy Impellizzeri

Executive producer (&amp; USA Today Bestselling author) Ann Garvin introduces podcast host, Amy Impellizzeri (award-winning author of I KNOW HOW THIS ENDS). In an evocative and raw conversation, Ann and Amy talk about the real life stories behind Amy’s own novels. Ann asks the questions Amy says no one has ever asked her about the real life inspiration for her early novels ... but that she wishes she HAD been asked. The two writers discuss the plan for the podcast giving forward - an unsanitized, honest discussion author to author in which readers will be invited inside the minds and journeys of the authors of some of the biggest books out this year.

Ann Garvin in conversation with Amy Impellizzeri

Amy Impellizzeri is a former big law corporate litigator who leveraged a sabbatical opportunity to do freelance writing for a  start-up publisher. She then permanently left practice to lean into her interest in writing and is now, as she says, a writer who used to be a lawyer rather than a lawyer who writes. She’s published 5 fiction novels and one non-fiction book, “Lawyer Interrupted”. In 2022, “How to Leave the Law”, her second non-fiction book with co-Author Liz Brown, will be released. We have a great conversation about creativity, limiting beliefs, and prioritizing taking the time for exploration. For anyone who has thought about chucking it all to become a writer, I think you’ll love this interview.   In this episode we discuss: Amy started in a smaller law firm, then moved to big law for a decade thinking that’s what you do if you have the chance Having kids was a respite from a grueling practice Amy was offered a 1 year sabbatical offer during the great recession  Amy used the year to gain clarity on her next step Amy did freelance writing for a start-up publisher Law is basically designed to stamp out your creative and innovative sides Amy reconnected with her interest in writing A legal background helps you in so many business ventures Craft exit plan by spending a year of intentional exploration You have time - you just have to draw boundaries and take it    Illegal Design Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/illegaldesign Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/megansmileyinteriors/   Amy’s Website: https://www.amyimpellizzeri.com/
