A STORYBOOK ROMANCE COMES
TRUE:
Maryland romance novelist announces engagement to her real-life
prince charming
Robyn Amos of Odenton, Maryland received an
unexpected surprise just a few days before Thanksgiving 2002
when her boyfriend of two years gave her an engagement ring.
John S. Pope, an aerospace engineer working at Goddard Space
Flight Center, presented Amos with a scrapbook commemorating
their last year together. Each page represented a month and
included a romantic poem. The last poem was read aloud and
closed with the proposal.
"After so many years of writing about true
love, I'd almost started believing it really was fictional,"
Amos commented. "Now I know that romantic heros are real
and that happily ever after isn't just for novels."
Amos has sold nine romance titles for publication.
Since receiving her first two-book contract from Kensington
Publishing Corporation in the Spring of 1996, Amos has sold
two additional novels and a Valentine's Day Anthology to Kensington,
two novels to Silhouette Books, and two novels to HarperCollins
for their Harper Torch fiction line. The first release of
that contract was
Bring Me A Dream (Harper Torch, November 2002/$6.50).
Ms. Amos's next release will be Wedding
Bell Blues (Harper Torch /$6.50), available in stores
May 2004.
Romance novels represent almost fifty-percent
of all mass market paperback sales and are used to promote
literacy and rehabilitate victims of battery and domestic
abuse. They also encourage monogamy, and family values.
