Hello, I’m Amy!

I survive on a happy diet of historical and fantasy fiction and I particularly love a good Viking tale. My favourite authors are Bernard Cornwell, Giles Kristian, Robert Low, C.J. Sansom, and Patrick O’Brien. I live in Auckland, New Zealand, with my husband, three children, three dogs and 2 cats.

I promise you characters that will quickly feel like friends and villains that will make you wild, with plots that twist and turn to leave you wondering what’s coming around the corner. And, like me, hopefully, you’ll always end up a little surprised by how I weave everything together in the end!

Hi Hana

I'm glad you enjoyed The Furyck Saga. Yes, the ending is very sad, and though I wrote it and chose it, it still always makes me cry, no matter how many times I read it. You’re not alone there!

My new series, The Lords of Alekka, is out now and Book Four is going on pre-sale this week with a November release date. It is set in Alekka, starting at the time The Furyck Saga ends. There is some crossover, and the odd Furyck Saga character will be making an appearance, though I can’t say who!

Very best wishes

So, I wrote a new book. A prequel novella.

Hello!

After finishing Vale of the Gods, I had an immediate urge to turn back the clock. As an author, it’s quite hard to kill off some of your characters. Some, you take pleasure in (we can probably agree on who those might be!), but others affect you (still do). I really debated the end of Vale of the Gods, and half wondered if I should go back in, tweak it, and make myself cry less! But, of cour Read more of this blog post »

“Time will do that to memories,’ Morac said wryly. ‘It twists and shapes them into whatever we want them to be. Whatever comforts us and allows us to sleep at night. Eirik is not alone in that.”
A.E. Rayne, Winter's Fury

“I believe in you,’ he said. ‘So turn off all the voices in your head. Shut them all out. Don’t listen to any of them. Put one foot in front of the other. That’s it. Leave everything else alone.’ Jael frowned. ‘You can’t look back. What has happened is done. What is coming will come. And you’ll have all of us, right there beside you. All”
A.E. Rayne, Vale of the Gods

“You can’t look back. What has happened is done. What is coming will come.”
A.E. Rayne, Vale of the Gods
