Amelia C. Adams is the author of
twenty-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 transplanted
Scot, 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.

THE ECHO OF MUSIC by AMELIA C. ADAMS
Amelia's Top Ten List
1.
When I was growing up ... I loved to make things out of paper.
Little houses, dolls, books … I’ve always been in love with paper.
2.
I once ... wore a plastic alligator nose in public. Because it was
fun.
3.
Readers would be surprised to know I ... never even dreamed of
writing Westerns. I’ve done historical fiction, but Westerns had never crossed
my radar until Kirsten Osbourne suggested I give it a try. And now this novella
is my 25th Western release!
4.
Every day I ... check my emails before I do anything else. It’s
like my brain can’t function otherwise.
5.
I like to ... take really long naps during the day because I don’t
sleep well at night. I think I must be a vampire. The kind that doesn’t drink
blood.
6.
I have always wanted to ... be a singer. Sadly, that’s not a
talent I have.
7.
I will never forget ... marrying the love of my life back in 1995.
And he’s even more handsome now than he was back then.
8.
The best thing about writing is ... I can make anything in the
world happen. Oh, and I also love the surprises when the characters take over
and tell me what *really* happened.
9.
When I am not writing, I like to ... think about writing! And also
watch movies. And take naps.
10.
I am working on … I have several more planned in the Kansas
Crossroads series, and River’s End Ranch is going strong. I have about four
more books planned for the Hearts of Nashville series, plus a secret series
that hasn’t been announced yet … kind of crazy, huh?
Snippet from The
Echo of Music
Orinda Lou Britt stood on her front
porch, scanning the horizon for the tell-tale plume of smoke that would tell
her the train was coming. She felt quite ridiculous at being so excited, but
she couldn’t help it. It had been a year since her piano had been tuned, and
she was desperate to have it done. And the fact that it was Nathan Perry who
would be tuning it had nothing to do with that excitement whatsoever.
At last she saw the smoke, and a
moment later, the whistle sounded. She imagined it would take Nathan about
fifteen minutes to disembark, grab his bag, and walk the few blocks to her
house, so she went back inside, smoothed her dark hair, and made sure the tea
kettle was hot. Then she sat on the edge of the sofa in her parlor and waited.
For forty-five minutes.
Had he missed the train? Had she read
the telegram wrong? She pulled it out and checked, but no—he gave the date and
the time. She shook her head. What could be keeping him?
At last she heard his boots crunching
up her lane, and her heart gave a mighty leap. She’d almost given in to the
belief that he’d been attacked by robbers or something.
“Miss Britt, forgive me,” Mr. Perry
said when she opened the door. “I stopped at the Brody for something to eat.”
“Of course,” she replied, holding the
door open wider so he could enter. That was a relief—his delay was perfectly
natural, and not brought about by bandits and evildoers. “I’m sure you were
quite hungry. Would you like some tea as well?”
