Ama (A.M.) Adair is a multi-award-winning and Amazon bestselling author turned screenwriter. Her first feature film screenplay was a semi-finalist in the Nashville Film Festival and “Table Read My Screenplay – Cannes 2025” contest, and was on The Black List’s Top Lists. Before channeling the stories in her head onto the page, she spent 21 years as an intelligence professional in the U.S. Navy, battling against her most hated phrase: “This is how we’ve always done it.” After a highly successful career bucking the status quo as the first woman to graduate from the most difficult intelligence school in the Department of Defense and kicking open doors for all those who followed, Ama retired as a Chief Warrant Officer Three in October 2022. She now devotes her time to her vast array of interests and fandoms, living her best life (despite the Navy permanently breaking a few things that are probably important) in Tennessee with her husband, daughter, son, and two Golden Retrievers.
