Romance by Madeline Baker

I'm delighted that my Reckless series will again be available. They're been out of print for several years and now they're back, with beautiful new covers. They were a fan favorite when they were originally published. I received many letters from readers who fell in love with Shadow. Of course, I did, too, which is why one book turned into four. I'm hoping a new generation of readers will get caught up in the story of Hannah and Shadow and their children.

Did I mention that I LOVE THE COVERS!!!!!

If you don't have an eReader, EC usually publishes my eBooks in print after about six months.

BENEATH A MIDNIGHT MOON, also long out of print, should be available as an eBook in August. Originally published under my Baker name, it's being reissued under Amanda Ashley.

DAKOTA DREAMS is now available in paperback from EC Blush

I'm hoping that EC Blush will also publish some of my other out-of-print books in the near future.

Happy Spring!
Mandy

Alex McArthur as Desperado




FIRST SALE 1984....


Too good to be true! That’s what I thought when, after 31 rejections, I finally sold my manuscript to a book publisher.

I never thought it would happen to me. And then came the day when an editor at Dorchester Publishing said she liked my book, but wanted another 10,000 words.

Ten thousand words! Did she realized what she was asking? With trepidation, I re-read my manuscript, adding chapters, re-writing paragraphs, until, at last, I had come up with the required number of words.

With hopeful heart, I mailed off my revised manuscript, and then the waiting began.
No words have yet been invented to adequately describe the thrill of reading that letter of acceptance. At last, I was on my way to being a published author.

I jumped up and down, danced a little jig, and literally shouted for joy as I read that coveted phrase, “We want to publish your novel…” Those few words more than made up for the numerous rejection letters I had received.

As soon as I could speak coherently, I called all my favorite people and told them the good news. Their excitement added to my own.

Today, over a month later, just thinking about that first letter of acceptance (and the advance against royalties that followed) has the power to thrill me all over again.

So, if you’re still struggling to get that manuscript published, don’t get discouraged, and don’t ever give up. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you.
