Amelia Curzon

Having been lucky enough to grow up in the Mediterranean, and having later lived and worked in various countries, I eventually settled in the United Kingdom.

I am the mother of two fabulous grown children who provide me with much of my inspiration in life. My interests include horses and all other animals, the environment, reading, and, of course, writing.

I have been writing short stories and poems since childhood, and had created and narrated many stories to my own children in their younger years.  Insomuch as my stories have always been about animals, it seems only natural my first novel be written for the genres teen and young adult, and contain lots of four legged creatures. 

I wrote the first draft of Mungai and the Goa Constrictor a few years ago, proudly sent the finished product to a handful of traditional publishers and, after only 3 rejections, felt totally defeated.  Silly!  But that was then. The story was put safely away.  After setting up and building up my own company, I forgot all about the manuscript.  Until that is, my son found it, read it and passed on to his sister to read.  Between them they persuaded me to try and epublish.  Spurred on by my children’s faith in me, I decided to approach the task of re-editing and updating, and the mammoth and mind boggling mission of self-promotion.  I had to find my feet pretty quickly, and armed with bucket loads of good advice, and some bad, plunged headfirst into the daunting world of the eAuthor.

Mungai and the Goa Constrictor is now published on Amazon as an eBook, and in Paperback. It has already gained five 5 star reviews.  I am currently working on a sequel.
