RJ Amos has a PhD in Chemistry and has taught and researched chemistry for about ten years at two Australian universities, meeting some fascinating people and hearing almost-incredible stories. She decided to start writing those stories in novel form because she feels that others would enjoy hearing about them just as much as she does. She's added a murder or two because that makes the story that much more fun. RJ loves reading a good mystery in front of an open fire, walking along the beach with her husband in both winter and summer, and chatting with her two grown-up children, and she is convinced that she lives in the best place on God's good earth.
