Amelia C. Adams is the author oftwenty-five sweet Western romance novels, the mother of four children, and the
eater of chocolate cake and tacos. Many tacos. Too many tacos to count. Because
cheese. And meat. Meat and cheese.
She has hit the Amazon bestseller list
three times and has the screenshots to prove it. Even though she’s only been
publishing Westerns for two years, she plans to do it forever and ever, or
until the cows come home, whichever happens first. She credits her own pioneer
heritage for this new interest, and is glad that she doesn’t have to wear
twelve petticoats to be considered modest.

A transplantedScot, Margery now lives on a lake in Canada.
Although she grew
up as far away from the old west as possible, she’s always had a love affair
with the men and women who settled the untamed land west of the Mississippi.
Glued to TV westerns like Maverick, Rawhide and Gunsmoke, and reading stories
of Annie Oakley, Roy Rogers and Rin Tin Tin, it was only natural that when she
started writing, she wrote what she loved to watch and read. When she’s not
writing or travelling in search of the perfect setting for her next novel, you
can usually find her wielding a pair of knitting needles or a pool cue.

Snippet from HANNAH’S HERO
Hannah sat in the saddle,
her hands wrapped around the saddle horn. She felt so weak and unsteady she was
sure she’d fall off if she didn’t hold on tight.
With one swift movement,
the man had swung himself into the saddle behind her. She’d felt him move, and
a few seconds later, his body had pressed against hers, hard and warm.
She wanted nothing more
than to bury herself in that warmth, but instead she jerked away from the
contact and held herself as stiff as possible. Heavens, she didn’t even know
this man.
“Here,” she heard him say
behind her as he draped his duster around her shoulders, “lean back against me.
This duster isn’t big enough for both of us.”
Propriety warred with her
need for warmth. Propriety lost.
