Amy Lynn Garcia was born and raised in West Des Moines Iowa where she continues to live with her family. Amy works in a local hospital as an obstetrical nurse specializing in the care of high risk pregnant women. Amy is also the proud mother of five daughters and grandmother of one granddaughter. In early 2014 after reading upwards of 300 romance novels in a years time a coworker planted the seed of writing her own novel. Never having written anything but always up for a challenge she decided to give it a whirl and wrote a synopsis for what eventually became Dark Kiss. After showing the synopsis to several friends and asking if they would be interested in reading her book, the response was a resounding "Yes!" from everyone. With that confidence booster she began writing and in the fall published her first romance novel Dark Kiss which is the first in The Two Sides of Me trilogy. Dark Thief, book two, was completed and published in January of 2015 and the final installment Dark Love is currently in the works and will be released in the spring of 2015. "I never imagined writing a novel let alone a romance novel! I'm addicted to sharing the feeling that I get when reading my favorite stories and I can't imagine my life without writing now." Amy says she will always work as a nurse in some respect but after releasing the story of Evan and Mia there is no way she can deny the compulsion to develop new characters and write romance novels.
