Who on Earth is Amelia Short?
Greetings!
My name is Amelia Short, and I am a contemporary romance novelist. I like to write about romantic adventures set in beautiful, sunny places. Here is a little bit about me.
I am lucky enough to live by the seaside in beautiful Devon, England, with my scrumptious husband, where I like to take inspiration from the rolling waves and fresh sea air. It’s the perfect place for long walks where I can think through my plot lines or listen to podcasts and audiobooks.
I love to travel and explore as often as my work and finances will allow. I like nothing more than to delve into a good holiday read (even before the flight has taken off!) and hope to produce books that will give my readers the same enjoyment.
I love to watch TV programs about buying properties abroad, and my favourites are A Place in the Sun, and the Amanda & Alan series of renovations - the Italian Jobs, Spanish Job and of course their latest, the Greek Job, set in wonderful Corfu.
As a self-published author, I seem to be on a constant learning curve of writing craft, marketing and general self-publishy stuff, and there is a lot to learn! I currently have four books published. The first, Getting Away, is a stand-alone RomCom about a kidnapping with a difference.
The first book in my A Place in Greece series is also called, A Place in Greece, and can also be read as a stand-alone. If you've ever dreamed about leaving it all behind and moving to Greece, this book is for you, as my heroine, Gabrielle, does just that.
Book two in the series, My New Greek Life, follows Gabrielle through the trials and tribulations of her new life in Greece, including a blast from her pre-Greek past.
Book three in the series, Greece For Sale, has most of the same characters as the first two books, but can also be read as a stand-alone. If you like the idea of spending time with a hot Greek rockstar, this is the book for you.
The rest of the series will be available as soon as I can write them!. If you want more information about these books, check out the My Books page.

A great story and a twisted tale of love, kidnapping, fear and deception. The author keeps you wanting to turn the pages and find out how it all ends. You can just close your eyes and picture being right there with the characters. Great book that will make you smile from start to finish.
What a great first book by Amelia Short. Hope there will be more. Great story, kept me turning the pages wanting to know what happens next. I wanted it to go on. Looking forward to the sequel! Here's hoping.
This one had one of the best context and geography of Crete together with a realistic story, that did make me howl at times!
Pure escapism, totally predictable but a lovely story to read in a miserable dark winter. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
I’ve loved reading these 2 books. I am glad there will be more to follow and I look forward to reading them too. I love Greece but not returning till next year so it’s lovely to read these at home in Cornwall taking me back there (in my head ?) until then.
I read the 1st book in this series and stumbled over the 2nd book. It didn’t disappoint and it was great to ‘catch up’ with old friends. Can’t wait for book 3 of the series
