Amanda Elias

Meet Amelia Elias, mother of ten (okay, so some of her 'kids' have four legs and a tail), home health nurse (which is great because it affords her so much time to sit and chat with her clients), and author of many stories (most of them written to shut up those persistent voices in her head—though new ones always take their place). Amelia is slender, buxom, graceful, plays classical piano, speaks 17 languages, is always immaculately dressed, and is titled nobility on an oilrig off the coast of England. And the nobility thing is actually true. Amelia writes about everything from genies in a bottle, to gods and goddesses, to gorgeous vampires and hot, sexy Fae. Her stories are set in such locations as Olympus, two versions of an alternate Earth, vampire-owned nightclubs, and the really, truly crazy ones happen in the real world. Some say she can be a bit scattered with her writing. Amelia disagrees, arguing, "No, not at all! I am very focused and... and... wait, do you have a pen? I just got a great idea for a romance between a shape-shifting ghost and an alien!"
