biography

After graduating from college with a degree in psychology, Robyn Amos discovered that writing about the characters living in her imagination was more fulfilling than writing research papers. So, Robyn began writing romance. The first book she wrote was published by the industry's first multicultural romance line, Arabesque, in 1997.

She wrote four books for Arabesque titled PROMISE ME, PRIVATE LIES, INTO THE NIGHT and TRUE BLUE, as well as a Valentine's Day Novella titled I Do! At the same time, Robyn wrote two books for Silhouette Books, BACHELORETTE BLUES for Your's Truly and HERO AT LARGE for Intimate Moments.

Later, Robyn went on to write two single-title romances for HaperCollins's HarperTorch line, BRING ME A DREAM and Wedding Bell Blues.

After taking a short hiatus from writing to get married, Robyn gave up her day job in 2005 and began writing full-time. She has recently been contracted to write for Harlequin's new Kimani Romance line, which features African-American characters. Her first category release for Kimani will be published in April 2007.
