Amy Padgett, Writer

Hard though it may be to believe, I've now got several books out. But I haven't forgotten about my garden, either, and will be working on new articles about roses and Old Garden Roses in the months ahead. I'm also planning on putting together a collection of Civil War letters from my great-grandfather, for those interested in such things.

For those of you who are desperately searching for a gift for the holidays, how about a cookbook?

During the hot months of summer, I transcribed my grandmother's handwritten cookbook--filled with recipes from the Great Depression through the early 1960's. There are close to 200 recipes, including dozens of cakes, pies, and cookies. It may be just the thing to give as a gift during the holidays, or buy it for yourself to make something special when you're hosting a party. Or just need something to cheer yourself up. It's called The Rowley Cookbook--just click on the title or the book cover if you need a gift for someone who has everything!
The Rowley Cookbook is also available from Amazon.com.

For those following my career as a writer, my pseudonym is Amy Corwin and I write classic Regency romances and mysteries:

New - I just got my cover (and first edits) for The Bricklayer's Helper and the cover is absolutely lovely. The Wild Rose Press will be releasing it sometime in 2010. I am so pleased! So I may have two books coming out soon!

Sometime in 2010, I will also join the ranks of those writing paranormals. I have a paranormal coming out called: Vampire Protector. I even have a cover already and my editor has given me the first round of edits.

My Regency short story: Outrageous Behavior is out!

If you're looking for a short read at an inexpensive price, this may be just the ticket. It's a short romance and has already received excellent reviews. Long and Short reviews even nominated it for "story of the week" recently and Fallen Angel Reviews gave it 5 angels! The heroine is in a bit of a pickle: should she follow the dictates of proper behavior, or throw the etiquette book out the window if it gives her a chance for true love?

For the 2009 Holiday season, Cerridwen released our Christmas anthology in print! So if you still want something nice and cozy to read, take a gander. It's entitled: Christmas Mishaps. It's a Regency romance and is featured as part of a anthology from Cerridwen Press: A Cotillion Country Christmas. So if you are looking for an enjoyable way to relax over the holidays, be sure to check it out.

My second novel, I Bid One American, is available as an e-book and paperback from The Wild Rose Press. It is already getting excellent reviews and snagged a 4.5 heart review from The Romance Studio! Even better, Book Utopia included it in their list of best books for 2008!

Amy Corwin Reader's Store has a few promotional items, as well as some fun stuff like "Darwinism at work" shirts.
