Amelia Grey's Pleasure
Good morning! Thank you for having me at Writerspace. I’m looking forward to a day full of comments and questions!April is a special month. It marks the publication of my 21st book and my 9th Regency historical, and I’m so excited to be able to have a career that I truly enjoy! I don’t know who said it but he/she was right when they said, “My how time flies when you’re having fun!”
Throughout my writing career my motto has been “God doesn’t give you the desire without the talent to back it up.” In those early days, I had a great desire to write romance and publish a book. My first editor told me I had excellent storytelling ability but I needed to work on the mechanics. So I started attending workshops hosted by RWA and Romantic Times to work on the skills of how to put a book together. But even that was fun because I met so many wonderful authors who are still my friends. I attended workshops by talented authors like Sandra Brown and Nora Roberts. My first book, PASSION’S CHOICE a historical romance was published by Warner Books in 1990. And I’ve never looked back.

Even though I enjoy my work, it’s a business and I treat it like a business. My writing time is very important to me, and I don’t let too many things interrupt me when I’m writing. I’m up and out of the house to my office by 9:30 five days a week, and I work five to six hours a day. I never work on weekends and I never work in the evenings. I don’t sit around and waiting for inspiration to come to me. I go looking for it every day by turning on the computer and starting to work. Working for me is not a chore. It’s a pleasure.
And it’s now my pleasure to tell you that An Earl to Enchant, the third book in my Rogues’ Dynasty Series is now on sale at your favorite local or on line bookstore. In An Earl To Enchant, the hero is a planner who plays by the rules and has no idea what to do with an enchanting heroine who ignores convention and steals his heart with her impulsive ways. For merriment, I had the heroine pursuing the hero, and for intrigue I had a killer pursuing her.

The first book of the series is A Duke To Die For, and it came out in April 2009 and is still available. In A Duke To Die For, the hero’s life was chaotic and undisciplined, so I gave him a beautiful and quite charming heroine who was timely and organized to get under his skin and stay there. For fun I had her believe she was cursed, and for intrigue I had him be in danger because of it.
The middle book, A Marquis To Marry was published in October 2009 and is still on sale wherever books are sold. In A Marquis To Marry, the hero is a fun-loving rogue and very happily a bachelor, so I had to give him a beautiful, fascinating woman who had the power, charm, and all it took to make him want to settle down to just one woman. For enjoyment, I had him in possession of a priceless necklace of pearls that belonged to her family, and then for intrigue I had them stolen.

I couldn’t be happier with the way my writing career has blossomed and I’m thrilled by how well my books are being received by reviewers and readers. I’m also delighted to tell you that my desire and my inspiration are still going strong. I’ll be adding three more very sexy heroes to The Rogues’ Dynasty next year starting with A Gentleman Never Tells.So tell me, do you get fun and enjoyment out of your job?
The first chapter of An Earl To Enchant, is available on my website and I invite you to give it a try.
I’m always happy to hear from readers. Please e-mail me at ameliagrey@comcast.net or visit my website at ameliagrey.com.

Hi Amelia - thanks for
Hi Amelia - thanks for visiting with us, and wow! 21 books! That's quite a number. I have a few of your Rogues' Dynasty series and need to get the rest.As for enjoying my job... well I'm looking for a different one, but what I've got at least is interesting. Very frustrating and trying at times - I'm an instructor for this program called Street Law Jr., but at least it can be entertaining, hearing what inner city 4th & 5th graders think of the law. (Or what they think the law is.)
Good morning!My thanks to
