December 2025: Amy S. Peele

Before becoming a writer, Amy enjoyed a fascinating thirty-five-year career in the organ transplant field, which provides an authentic backdrop to her books.

Hold,  Amy’s latest book, pursues the question – What if there was a one-time pill that would allow patients to hold on to their life-saving organ transplants with NO need for anti-rejection drugs? How far would Big Pharma and venture capitalists go to stop it?

Match is a page-turning thriller that takes the reader into the vivid and dramatic world of kidney transplantation. Amy expertly weaves politics, living donor kidney transplants & the opioid crisis into a fast-paced, nonstop adventure. Match has won many awards, including the 2022 NYC Big Book Award.

Her debut mystery, Cut, has received many awards, including the 2017 Independent Press Award, The Chanticleer International Book Award, a Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, and a Finalist designation from the 2017 International Book Awards.
