Ellie Amos

Ellie Amos is a romance author based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, where she lives with her partner and their gorgeous black cat, Pippin.

Ellie’s creative writing is shaped by both her personal journey and her academic background in psychology. She completed a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) in 2025 and is working towards receiving a Graduate Certificate in Positive Behaviour Support in 2027. This education, as well as her passion for romance novels that take characters on deep, transformative journeys, influences her own depiction of relationships, resilience and character growth.

Diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) in 2025, Ellie is also a passionate advocate for The Ehlers-Danlos Society. Through both her writing and advocacy, she aims to foster understanding, representation and connection.

When she’s not writing, Ellie owns and runs a crochet business, Ellie A Crochets. A self-proclaimed lover of “grandma hobbies” and a devoted coffee enthusiast, you’ll often find her with a cute mug in hand curled up with a good book, chasing stories that make her giggle and kick her feet.

The Prime Time Experiment

by Ellie Amos

Riley Lorrent doesn’t do feelings. As a 26-year-old cognitive psychologist, she deals in data, patterns and proof. People, on the other hand, are unpredictable entities she’d rather avoid.

So, when she’s invited to discuss her work on morning show television, Riley expects a polite, controlled conversation.

Instead, she gets Declan Montgomery.

A fitness influencer and personal trainer, Declan is infuriatingly confident and far too accustomed to being right. When their on-air clash spirals into something sharper, he proposes a challenge: design a six-month experiment to see whose approach works best. Mind versus body, science versus instinct.

Riley should walk away. Instead, she agrees.

Now forced into close quarters with a man she can’t stand, Riley is pushed beyond controlled variables and neat conclusions. Because this experiment isn’t just testing theories. It’s testing her limits, her patterns and everything she thought she understood about herself.

Declan thinks he can figure her out. Riley knows that’s impossible.

After all, she’s never done an experiment in love… let alone been in one.

Jess filed freelance articles for me when I was an editor at Forbes Australia and when I moved to Company Director magazine, I discovered she was already entrenched as a writer and I was very happy to continue our successful relationship. Jess is the ultimate professional. She is incredibly dedicated to crafting the best story for the commission. She listens, asks questions and is a fabulous communicator, enthusiastic in her work, timely in her filing, and has excellent attention to detail. I highly recommend Jess.

“As she is a seasoned journalist who has worked all around the world and an author of two published books, I turned to Jessica for a coaching session on a writing project when I was looking for someone. Her advice was practical, do-able and to the point. In addition, her price was reasonable. I would seek out Jess’s help again and also recommend her any time to any one.”

“Working with Hembury Books has been a delight. Jess Mudditt works hard at her craft whilst providing much encouragement and creative support.”

“I don’t know how to thank you for your skill and knowledge, as well as your incredible patience with me. I know I am hopeless with computer technology and you have been remarkable. Publishing my book has been a great learning experience; the sort one doesn’t expect at my age. Thank you for all you have done. You are a pretty remarkable woman. Congratulations on becoming who you are.”

I found Jess just ahead of releasing my first book into the world and I am so glad I did, as she became a great support for me to lean on. I can’t imagine my journey without her now. She made the whole experience that much sunnier. Any author who gets to work with Jess is blessed and has a true friend on their side. I ended up booking Jess to host my book launch event too, and again, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. A beautiful soul, passionate about nonfiction storytelling, and a great source of wisdom when it comes to all things self-publishing.
