SARA TANEY HUMPHREYS
Condensed Biography, 2009
What if everything you knew about yourself turned out to be a lie? What if the soul mate you were waiting for came from a completely unexpected world—and was threatened by your own world?
One day several years ago, sitting in the kitchen of her family’s summer home in Westerly, Rhode Island, Sara Taney Humphreys began writing this tale—it was the beginning of the Amoveo Legacy.
Since her adolescence, Sara was drawn to the fantasies of science fiction, paranormal universe and romance (these worlds collided with her crush on Captain Kirk). From there she remained completely enthralled with the process of self discovery—and the possibility of actually finding that one true partner in life.
While pursuing her B.A. Degree in English Literature & Theater, it was on the stage that Sara found herself and began to thrive in lives of her characters. Sara’s natural capacity to shift personalities led her through lead and support roles in over twenty college productions of experimental theatre and main stage, including Wicked Witch of the West, Alice in wonderland and House of Blue Leaves.
After graduation, she was on the rise with acceptance into a neighborhood playhouse, an acting school in NYC. Just two weeks, circumstances at home changed and Sara switched gears to focus on her family. She then married and started a family of her own—all while keeping her stage dream alive.
Sara secured TV roles in such shows as A&E Biography, Guiding Light, Another World, As the World Turns and Rescue Me. She then became a Drama Teacher at her al ma mater, Convent of the Sacred Heart, and quickly launched her own after school theatre workshop studio for kids called Ensemble Productions. The first semester drew over 40 students and by the third there were 130. Her passions were being satisfied in way a she never dreamed, all while pregnant with her second child. The next derailment came with the dreadful news of her 2-year old son being diagnosed with Diabetes. It was a quick decision to shut down the business and pay full attention to his needs.
Several years later Sara gave birth to twins—the house was full to the brim. In 2001, to support family finances, she found a Speaker position with Monster’s Making It Count and used her acting talents to deliver presentations in high schools across the U.S. Recognized for her teaching abilities she also fulfilled the role as Speaker Trainer until 2008. Simultaneously, Sara began speaking for The College of Westchester and now serves as Director of High School & Community Relations.
Today, at night, when the kids are asleep and the house lay quiet, Sara is doing what most moms dream of—she’s bringing her ‘sexy back’. The Amoveo Legacy has turned into a paranormal romance of a different breed and will soon be followed by her series novels, Amoveo Heart and Amoveo Fire. Each book blossoms with the journey of a new coupling and the characters seem to take control of the story as they weave in and out of society—in a constant state of self discovery in search for true love.
Bound by reality, Sara lives in New York with her husband, who is very considerate of her double life, four amazing boys, two dopey dogs and an extremely loud bird. Life is always busy, but never dull.
