Dropping out of college to pursue a full-time writing career, Amelia spends the next 17 years as America€s reigning Queen of Romance, fulfilling her fans€ every desire as she pens one steamy novel after another. But when Amelia suddenly realizes she€s outgrown her muse and fictional other half, a buxom blonde named Hillary Hart, she begins to question her own identity. In Year of the Snake, Amelia embarks on a year-long journey of self-discovery and, in the process, learns what it€s like to truly fall in love.
