2008 RWA Golden Heart Award finalist Amy Atwell has enjoyed many careers that enriched her life-horse trainer, Shakespearean actress, children’s theater director, rock singer, designer of custom closets and wine cellars, caretaker of an island ghost town-but writing fiction has proven to be the greatest adventure of all. A believer in pursuing dreams, she wrote for ten years and earned many awards for her unpublished manuscripts before selling her first book. She now writes full-time and runs an active online community for goal-oriented writers. When not traveling, Amy lives on a barrier island in northeast Florida with her husband and two highly imaginative Russian Blue cats. Lying Eyes is her first novel featuring Cosmo Fortune.
