Kim Amos | Top Five Fun Facts about Kim

Things you wished you knew before you were published
That the paranormal trend was going to last for a long, long time. As someone who writes contemporary fiction almost exclusively, I wish I could have given myself more awareness of how popular vampires and fairies and werewolves would become. Not so that I could have capitalized on it or so that it could go away (because wow, talk about an awesome genre with a slew of fab books in it!) but so I could have understood that it would be a while before my genre was popular again. I would have told myself to be patient.

Pet peeves (in writing or in general)
Christmas songs out of season. This frustrates my husband to no end because he loves to sing them year-round. I keep having to move the date we can start singing them earlier and earlier. It used to be December 1. Now, it’s like mid-November or something.

Things you like doing when you aren't writing
My husband and I love biking together. Experiencing the world on two wheels is awesome. We like to find rail trails, which are train tracks no longer in use that have been converted to bike paths. Many stretch for miles and miles through incredible country. We love them!

Strangest experiences
I once went on a tornado-chasing excursion, which is like whale watching only instead of paying your guide to get you close to marine mammals, we paid our guide to get us close to storms. We saw some incredible weather (sadly, no tornadoes) and I will never forget what it was like to cross the plains for days on end, watching the sky.

Favorite writing snacks
Dove chocolates. Cheese and crackers. Wint-o-green Lifesavers. (Obviously nothing healthy, lol!)

About AND THEN HE KISSED ME

PLAYING WITH FIRE . . .

Five years ago, Audrey Tanner flung caution to the wind and herself into the arms of an emerald-eyed bad boy biker she met at the White Pine Asparagus Festival. Two blissful weeks together convinced her that Kieran Callaghan was The One-until The One blew town without a word, leaving her brokenhearted. Now, starting a new job at the new Harley Davidson showroom, Audrey is floored to meet her new boss: Kieran. He's still hot as hell, but she won't fall for his sexy smile again. This time, she's calling the shots.

. . . OR PLAYING FOR KEEPS?

Kieran never thought he'd return to White Pine, Minnesota, much less see Audrey again. Gorgeous and smart as ever, she's just as irresistible as he remembered. She still doesn't know why he had to leave-or that he's missed her every day since. But he can't deny he wants more than the no-strings fling Audrey proposes. As things between them heat up, Kieran must choose between the secret he's sworn to keep and the woman he never stopped loving . . .
