Hi Reader! Is it already June? Wow. So, here's the thing: in March, I started in a new role at my day job. I may have slightly underestimated how much the promotion would cut into the time I spent creating new worlds and sharing them with you. (Okay, "slightly" is a massive understatement.) I miss you! And I'm still working on bringing you delightfully dark stories and book recommendations to lose yourself in. For now though, I simply can't do so monthly. I hope you'll stick with me though! The next year or so is probably going to be pretty quiet in terms of updates, but I promise to share any exciting news, new releases, or truly amazing books with you as they come along. Once the demands of my day job level out and I can commit to a regular writing schedule again, monthly updates will resume and you will be the first to know! I'll even share another new story -- exclusive to subscribers -- as a thank you for your patience while I wrangle with dual careers! Until then, feel free to shoot me a message on Twitter, or Email me any time. You can reach out on any of my socials, but those are the two places I check daily. Until next time! - Amanda |

Usually, I'll start with a half-formed idea for a character, or a setting, or an interesting sequence of events. I prefer to free-write by hand in one of my notebooks. (I've...
Hi Reader! I hope summer has treated you well. I know I thoroughly enjoyed mine. I made significant progress on my novel revision (approximately 160 pages into an estimated 560 pages of "write-in"), spent some quality time with my husband, and relaxed as much as possible. Alas, summer has come to an end. With September, my university classes have resumed, so between that and the day job, my writing time will be scant for most of the next eight months. Also, focusing on my novel revision means...
Greetings Reader! I hope June has treated you well! Tuesday was an exciting day for me, since that's when the paperback edition of Souls of the Broken & the Damned went live on Amazon. So, if you're like me and prefer to flip physical pages over swiping a screen, here's your first chance to read any of my published work in book form. In other news, the revision on my novel continues its slow progression. After re-balancing my other life obligations, I'm still hoping have it finished so I can...
