Biography

Award-winning author Amy Corwin is an insatiable reader and a compulsive writer.  She joined the Romance Writers of America at its inception and plunged into writing despite the time-wasting annoyances of a career as an enterprise systems administrator in the computer industry.  She writes Regencies, paranormals, and mysteries, although to be truthful, most of her books include a bit of murder and mayhem since she discovered that killing off at least one character is a highly effective way to make the remaining ones toe the plot line.

Her first book, Smuggled Rose, came out in 2007.  Her second book, I Bid One American, was published May 2008 with the paperback version in November, 2008.  She followed this with a novella, Christmas Mishaps, in 2008, and a short story, Outrageous Behavior, in 2009.  She is currently working on several Regency romantic mysteries, including The Vital Principle, and The Bricklayer's Helper.

Amy lives out in the country, way out in the country, and deeply regrets not habitually carrying a camera.  Without photographic evidence, no one will believe she nearly ran over a 20 lb barracuda lying in the middle of her road; saw a hot-air balloon landing in her front yard; and found a dairy cow thoughtfully trimming the grass at her mailbox.  She wishes she’d also had a rope when she came across the cow because she could have used the cow poo for her roses, which currently number well over 100. 

Her wildlife biologist husband, a chocolate lab, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, chow-mix dog, two cats, and who knows how many chickens enjoy the temperate climate on thirty acres near the coast of North Carolina.
