About the Author

C. S. Amos was born and raised in the mountains of Southern West Virginia. He left Big Creek High School in the 11th grade to join the U.S. Army in 1965. He married his beloved wife in 1975 and raised a son while he built a dedicated career in public service. He graduated in 1980 from Urbana University with a degree in accounting. After 28 years of service with the IRS and 24 years of Military service he retired. In 2010 he moved with his wife to Florida, but his Appalachian roots remain a deep part of who he is. An avid outdoorsman, and ordained Minister. He continues to serve faithfully as a Deacon and Minister in his local church. His writing reflects his deep faith, strong family values, and enduring connection to the coal town and community that shaped him.

About the Book-The Coal Miner’s Wife

In a rugged coal camp shaped by coal dust, danger and long days a small group of coal miner’s wives fights to keep their families, their faith, and their hopes intact. Tragedies strike without warnings and families must make devastating decisions. Wives know the

possible dangers and their strength, faith and tenacity are the very characteristics that define generations of Appalachian women who fight unimaginable hardships, unemployment, and fear for the survival of their families. The Coal Miner’s Wife is a moving story of love, loss and the amazing strength it takes to survive. Many of their hopes and dreams will remain forever buried in the coal mines.
