Amy Gallow
The only child of an itinerant rural worker, Amy had more
schools than birthdays until she was fourteen. Her first
paid employment was as "Slushy", washing the pots and pans
in the galley of a passenger carrying paddle steamer on
the River Murray. In spite of these advantages and a
personal code of honour that owed more to her father's
love of Clarence Mulford's Hopalong Cassidy and the
Arthurian legends than to any practical concerns, Amy
survived to follow his itinerant ways. This included time
in the military, the Merchant Marine and the Offshore Oil
Industry, even a period as university lecturer.
Amy's writing came from the accidental enrolment in the
wrong course in 1975 and provided her with an escape route
from work pressures. Winning a number of competitions led
to a contract with an Australian print publisher of
category romances. Five books later, New Blood is Amy's
first essay into electronic publishing.
