While Amy L. Hatch is not totally immune to the charms of the Midwest (hey, Chicago is pretty cool), this East Coast transplant is learning to deal with life in Urbana, Ill., one ear of corn at a time.
Hatch spent her teen years traveling all over Europe while her family lived the ex-patriot life in London, and if she ever wins the lottery, she plans to divide her time between London, Boston and Cape Cod, via private jet. With a butler. And a nanny.
Hatch’s journalism career began in 1994 at Messenger-Wolfe Newspapers in Rochester, NY. She has also written for USAirways in-flight magazine. These days you’ll find the freelance writer exploring the small towns surrounding her home with her husband and 2-year-old daughter, and taking long, excruciating road trips in a minivan to visit grandparents in three states.
