Bio:
Born
and raised on the outskirts of Toronto, Ontario Amy fled the big city to settle
down with the country boy of her dreams. When she's not furiously typing away
at her computer, she's a mom to three wonderful children, who have given her
another job as a taxi driver.
A
voracious reader, she was given her first romance novel by her grandmother who
shared her penchant for a hot romance. From that moment, Amy was hooked by the
magical worlds, handsome heroes and sigh worthy romances contained in the pages
and she knew what she wanted to be when she grew up.
Life
got in the way, and after the birth of her second child, she decided to pursue
her dream of becoming a romance author.
Amy

Blurb:
Dare she place her heart in his care?
Dr. Charlotte James will do anything to save her best friend's
unborn baby--even turn to her ex-fiancé, Dr. Quinn Devlyn! Their relationship
ended badly after the loss of their own little miracle, and while Charlotte
trusts the hotshot neonatal surgeon's amazing ability, she doesn't trust the
man who buries his emotions in work....
A career-threatening injury has left Quinn at a crossroads
in his life. But, working with Charlotte again in the snowbound beauty of her
isolated community practice, he realizes he's been given a second chance to
prove that both the baby and Charlotte's fragile heart will be safe in his
hands....

Excerpts:
Damn. What've I done?
Dr.
Charlotte James had been watching the arrivals board in the Iqaluit airport for
some time. She was so focused on arrivals she didn't even notice the people
coming and going around her. A watched pot never boiled, or so the old saying
went, but she couldn't help it. This was probably the longest she'd ever stood
still. In her job there was no time to stand still. In fact, she hated it. She
could be doing so many other things. Filing, for instance.
Not that
she particularly liked filing. She
preferred her organized chaos. However, there were a ton of files on her desk,
and Rosie had been pestering her for a week to put them away. Instead, she was
waiting here for his flight to
arrive.
"Flight
207 from Ottawa now arriving at gate three."
The past,
when it came to Dr. Quinn Devlyn, was where it needed to be: firmly locked
away. She'd moved on and she had no doubt his life had, too.
He was,
after all, at the top in his chosen specialty, and she was right where she'd
always wanted to be.
This time
Quinn Devlyn wouldn't blindside her or suck her into some crazy off-kilter
distracting, albeit passionate, love affair.
No, siree.
Her life
was good. Not perfect but, then, whose was? Charlotte was happy. Courage.
She spun
around and saw the plane taxi in on the small airstrip, blending in with the
stark, white landscape of Canada's High Arctic. The only color out there was
the brightly painted houses that dotted the landscape. Her pulse thundered
between her ears.
He's here.
Author Interview:
In your opinion, what makes a great
hero?
A hero that
is willing to grow and change for the woman he loves. One who will fight every
obstacle for love.
Do you prefer strong women for
heroines, or the ‘damsel in distress’ type?
Strong women.
I’m not a fan of heroines who are fainting and fawning and helpless. My heroine
in Safe in His Hands lost everything, but she picked herself up and went on
with her life.
What item, or items, is absolutely
necessary to your writing mojo?
Diet Coke.
Though I really am trying to break this habit. It’s not working, though I’ve
cut back. I really have.
Do you have any rituals for writing or
special locations that you prefer to inhabit when you’re writing?
Besides the
Diet Coke thing, I have to have background noise and I tend to work at night.
I’m a night owl. Though with all three kids going in school full time this
year, I’m hoping that my night owl tendencies will end.
What is one place in the world you’d
love to visit which you haven’t already been?
The arctic. Nunavut,
Northwest Territories or Yukon. Doesn’t matter. I want to go.
What do you do when you’re not
writing?
Love romance books.
