COWBOYS ~ ya gotta love 'em






All the water in the world
no matter how it tried
could never sink the smallest ship
unless it got inside.

All the evil of the world
and every kind of sin
could never damn a human soul
unless we let it in.


Someone asked me the other day if my family reads my books, which reminded me of the following:

My daughter-in-law, who is the only one in the family who reads my books, told me she and my son were going somewhere in the car and she was reading one of my books out loud. When she got to a love scene, my son said, "Stop! I don't even want to know what she was thinking!"

I always thought that was really funny. There's one other incident I thought was really funny. My best friend said she was reading one of my books and she laughed out loud. Her son was in the room and asked what she was reading. She replied, "One of Mandy's books", and he said, "If Mandy wrote it, how funny can it be?"

It's comments like that that keep me humble .

Questions and Comments

Hi there, my name is Ami, and I love Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series.I was looking up sexy guys to fulfill my image of what they look like.I came across your site of so many yummy guys.I see there are lots and lots of fans....I will definitely be checking out your books.One question, who are the 3 cowboy models under Taylor Lautner?Verrrrrry sexy.:)

Hi Ami ~ thanks for visiting my website and signing my guest book. Sorry to say, I have no idea who those yummy guys are.....Hope you're having a wonderful spring. Mandy 5/15/12


Hi I've read and enjoyed your books for ages, both as Amanda Ashley and Madeline Baker. I feel a little silly for not looking up your website before this, you've made me laugh and drool but not at the same time :). What a wonderful site you've created, I'll be stopping by regularly from now on.
Regards Wendy.
P.S. Can I take you up on your previous offer to some one else for a couple of bookmarks also. Thanks xxx

Hi Wendy ~ I'm happy to know you've enjoyed my books. Thank you for the compliment re my web site. I try to change it frequently. I had to laugh at your "laugh and drool" comment :) I'll be happy to send you some bookmarks. Just email me your addy. Hope you're having a blessed Sabbath. Mandy 5/6/12

Hi, I have read all your books, I think...BUT, I NEED to read Mara's story..to find out all about her, how she has been around for so long, who made her, who she loves...what shes up to. Which book is about Mara, the "oldest vampire in the world"!! I cannot find info anywhere. thanks...

Ah, Mara. I don't think I've ever written a character who has captured my readers imaginations like Mara. Her story hasn't been published yet, due to some problems I had with the book. I haven't given up on her yet. I hope you won't, either. Mandy 5/4/12

I love You! Have any advice for budding writers like me out there?

My only advice is to write what you love, have faith in yourself, and never give up. I was rejected 31 times before I found a publisher. If I'd given up at 30, I'd still be putting manuscripts under the bed Mandy 4/28/12

So excited. I just got a Kindle. Are all your Westerns available on Kindle? Sorry but I am not really a fan of the Vampire genre.

Quite a few of them are available, and I hope to see more soon. Just type my name into the Kindle search and my books should come up. Mandy 4-28-12

Hi I was wondering in you notes you mentioned to email you about bookmarks? do you sell them? thanks for your writing! love your books
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth ~ if you email me your address and put bookmarks in the subject line, I'll be happy to send you a bookmark or two. No charge. Mandy 4/24/14

love your books. reading is a big part of my life.thank you 4 writing all your books.

You're welcome. I love writing them. Mandy 4/24/12

just read 'under apache skies' and if brought back memories of my college days at NMSU 1959-63 and my trips back/forth between there and home in San Diego. one trip was a side trip to chiricahua nat'l monument & I felt that Cochise's spirit was there watching over us. ALso I went to college with Indians that were Navaho, Hopi, Mescalero Apache etc and enjoyed my time at the mescalero reservation near Ruidoso, NM and also all my side trips in NM with my godmother's ausnt who lived in Gila, NM and all the wonderful times at my collage roommate's family ranch at the Gila Cliff Dwellings, where her father was a park ranger.
Looking fwd to reading more of your books with native american theme.
Sincerely,
Ruthann Storr

Hi Ruthann ~ Thanks for sharing your college memories with me. Sounds like a wonderful time in your life. I'm happy to know you enjoyed Under Apache Skies, and hope you'll enjoy any of my other books you might read. I loved writing them. Mandy 4/18/12

Question if we signed the guestbook last month do you want us to sign it again for this months contest?

Love your books by the way. Huge fan. can't wait for your new one. Thanks and have a great day! and week!

Hi ~ If you signed the guest book last month, there's no need to sign it again, although I love to hear from you :) Happy to know you've enjoyed my books. Hope you like the new one, too!!!!!! Mandy 4/10/12

Hi Madeline: I love Vampire books. There is something very erotic and sexy about vampires, especially with long hair. Also there is something about their eyes, so mysterious. I love your books.

Hi ~ I have to agree with you - vampires are sexy and mysterious. And really fun to write about!!!!! Thanks for signing my guest book! Mandy 4/10/12

hi! madeline! i love your vampire romance books. they are really hot and erotic. i just enjoy reading them. i,m a good fan of yours.

Hi! I'm always happy to "meet" a fan, and happy to know you've enjoyed my books! Mandy 4/9/12

Hello, Mandy!

First off, i just want to say that you're my favorite author, i just love your book, they are great! My ultimate favorite one is Dead Perfect, I just love Ronan and Shannah! I bought it back in '09, which is awesome, im really glad i went to Borders that day. I Can't wait for your upcoming books, all i can say is KEEP 'EM COMIN'!
Happy Easter! -Adaly

Hi Adaly ~ I'm so glad you've enjoyed my books. I do love writing them and hope to write many more! A blessed and Happy Easter to you, as well. Mandy 4/5/12

Hi Mandy,

Just thought I’d drop by and say 'Hi' it's been a while since I’ve been to your site. It looks real good I always get a laugh out of the little antidotes you have on your page. I'm real glad you have so many books coming out I seriously miss reading your books they are incredible. Can’t wait to get some copies in store down here to read.

Was thinking the other night and thought you might know the answer to this query, do Native American's prefer to be called Native Americans or Indians or are they offended by both? Just wondering if you knew as my interest in them, their culture and history seems to be ingrained in my bones and is now seeping through to the surface.

Hope you have a lovely Easter! All the Best

Ella

Hi Ella ~ So glad you like my web page. I try to change it often so there's always something new to see. I don't really have an answer to your question. I always called my Indian heroes "Indians". However, one of my publishers insisted on "Native American" In the ads on TV, it seems they use "Indian" - Indian lands, Indian casinos, etc. Maybe someone who reads this column can enlighten us. Happy Easter. Mandy 4/5/12


Hi Mandy....I just finished Sandy's Angel, what a sweet story, always love happy endings...I can not tell you how excited I am to have the reckless series in ebook form...I have re-read them so much that most of mine are held together with duct tape....I know, pathetic, what can I say I love the story of Shadow and Hannah each time I re-read it's like visiting old friends...sigh....like I said pathetic!! To bad we couldn't combine the bronze sexy indians of the Baker books with the pale vampires of the Ashley books...Now that would be the perfect!!Maybe to much sex appeal for a book....Sigh...

Hi ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed Sandy's Angel. And delighted to know you loved my Reckless books. I think it's fabulous that you've read them so many times!!! Not pathetic at all!! That would be amazing, combining sexy Indians and cowboys. I've always wanted to write a vampire Indian story set in the Old West, and I would, if I could come up with a good plot. Maybe one of these days!!!! Mandy 3/28/12

Hi Mandy, I have seen "Love at First Bite"...I love it! It's what turned me on to vampires. George still has it going on..lol Stacy

Hi Stacy ~ It's still one of my favorite movies! Mandy 3/27/12

Hi,I just read my first Amanda Ashley book,I must say that I love it.You realy know how to make a person feel like they are in the story.Thank you

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. Happy St. Patrick's Day! Mandy 3/17/12

Hi. I’m doing a series of posts on my blog about the different kinds of publishers. I’m trying to interview an author for each kind of publisher, and was wondering if I could interview you for my post on ebook publishers, as I know you write historical Romance for Ellora’s Cave. It would be free publicity, and I would include links to Ellora’s Cave’s website, as well as your website, and links to where you can your books.

I'd probably ask a few questions about writing, and a few about what it's like to be published with Entangled Publishing, maybe what the process of publishing was like, etc. Most of my readers are aspiring writers (like me), or book addicts who would secretly love to write a book, and I want to give them a taste of their dream of becoming a published author, as well as give them a little inspiration to keep going. I was hoping to publish my interview with you on Thursday the 22nd or Monday the 26th, if someone would get back to me that quickly. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Amy Marie

Hi Mandy, I have read all your vampire books and loved them all. I was just wondering if you have any news on Mara's story yet? i love her and can't wait to read her story. Can't wait for more.
Michelle

Hi Michelle ~ I have 2 books already scheduled for this year. I'm hoping to see Mara's story published next year.....keep your fingers crossed Mandy 3/4/12

I love your writing and was wondering if there are any contest for me to enter..If so kindly send me a link to
rjmclebron@gmail.com.....Thank you

I am a huge American Indian fan!!! I get all the books I can about their lives and adventures. I am not a big Vampire fan!
Keep on writing good books about the American Indians. You do a great job!!!!

Hi. I'm happy to know you've enjoyed my historical romances. Unfortunately, I no longer have a publisher for them. EC Blush is reissuing some of my older ones, but I'm afraid I don't have any new ones coming out. I hope you'll try one of my vampire books. You might like them :) Mandy 3/2/12

Hello Mandy, Just wanted to say Thank you for all the wonderful adventures Ive got to experience reading your books. I have enjoyed all your books, but I think the one that holds a special place on my shelf and heart is Shades of Gray. Wonderfully written with awesome characters. Cant wait for the next adventure! Eve

Hi Eve ~ Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm happy to know you've enjoyed my books. I love writing them. I'm especially happy with the two coming out this year, and the one I'm writing now! Mandy 2/22/12

Hi Mandy! I found 'Nights Master' - given by a friend, after reading a chapter - I HAD to find 'Night's Kiss' & 'Night's Touch' and 'Nights Pleasure' -- SO WORTH IT! I read them all in 3 1/2 days....good thing it was a weekend off work!! Thank you so much for sharing your stories with us!! Shirley B, Calif

Hi Shirley ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed my Night books. I can't believe you read them all so fast!!!! I usually only read in the bathtub...so it takes me a while to finish a book Mandy 2/20/12

Please let me know that your are going to make reckless destiny in hardback or paperback, I can't afored a kindle and I LOVE the reckless series!!! I would hate to miss the last one in the series!! can you please let me know that this book will be in print???!!! thank you for your time.

Darla Telles
Kiboko100@pacbell.net

Hi Darla ~ Reckless Destiny can be found in print in my anthology, TALES OF WESTERN ROMANCE. Happy Valentine's Day! Mandy

Hi! I just discovered your books at my local book exchange store. I have many of them now but haven't started reading. Should they be read in order? Will I lose any storyline if I read them in the order that I'd like? I can't wait to get started!

I love your updated site, from the book trailers and links and extracts there is so much to see! I love the Cake recipe by the way I’m just getting into cooking its fast becoming a passion of mine and I’m making up a recipe book, so i've add a copy of the Cake rep to it. I Can't wait to try it. Love your book trailers did you make them yourself? They’re great!
Hope you had a great holiday,
Ella

Hi Ella ~ So glad you enjoyed your visit to my page. I try to keep it fresh! You'll love that cake. It's my favorite, so light and moist, you'll want to eat the whole thing. Blazing Trailers made the trailers for Bound by Blood and His Dark Embrace. She did a great job. Happy New Year. Mandy 1/5/12

I live in Grand Prairie, Tx and am having trouble finding any of your books. Any ideas as where I could find them??
Nichole Kahle

Hi Nichole ~ I'm sorry you're having trouble finding my books. If you have a book store nearby, they can order them for you. I don't think there's any charge for that. You can also order them directly from Zebra Books at here.
Mandy 1/4/12


I Cannot find Bound By Blood ANYWHERE ???? I am going to have to break down and by the digital copy.... So love you books thanks for entertain us! Tiffany

Hi! I love your webpage! Vampire Diaries is one of my favorite shows! I am also a fan of the Twilight series..Team Jacob! :) Can't wait to see Taylor's new movie, "Abduction"!! Keep up the great works!! :)
Kim G.

im so happy damon (spelled right?) on vampire diaries is going to be the top vamp!

YOU AND ME BOTH! Mandy 9/14/11

Mandy,
That is a promise I can SO make, I never laugh at any of your work (unless its at the goofy, love sick puppy things all your vampires do LOL - which i love anyway) but I’ve read some of your poems and your friends that you've put in some of your books, I've printed them out and hung them up in my office. (Happy dance) I'm in my new house so I finally have an office ;) a necessity for any writer. Can’t wait to read the poems
Kara.C

Kara - I posted a few at the bottom of the Audio/Series page...such as they are. Congrats on your new house and your new office. I spend more time in my office than any other room in the house, I think! Mandy 9/9/11

Hay, Mandy,
I was wondering if there room on your webpage for any of your poems? Kara.C

Hi Kara ~ Wow, you're the first one who ever wanted to read my poetry! I suppose I could post some of it somewhere.......if you promise not to laugh. Mandy

Mandy,
In the back of the new book, it says that Bound By Blood is available now in stores. It isnt due out for release until Nov. thats a misprint and should be corrected.
Becky

Hi Becky ~ OOPS! It's only wrong for a month. Bound by Blood will be out September 27th.
Hope you're having a pleasant holiday. Mandy 9/5/11


Just wanted to know when Mara's story will be out and what will the title be.Thanks,Stacey

Hi Stacey ~ I don't know when Mara's story will be out. I haven't even turned it in yet. As for the title, all I know for sure is that it will have "Night" in it Mandy 8/31/11

Hi Mandy! Thanks so much for the book, cover proofs, and etc. I am really enjoying them. I can never seem to put down one of your books, and am looking forward to many more as they come out :) Now that I have this handy dandy new kindle, it's made me want them on that. Is there any chance that you'll have an ebook come out that has a collection of stories like some of the other authors have done? I'd be really interested in that! Thanks again for writing such great stories :)
~Sherri

Hi Sherri ~ Happy to know you're enjoying my books! And your Kindle. I love mine. As for a collecton of stories, that would be up to my publisher. I have a number of self-published short stories on Amazon. Mandy 8/30/11

hi Amanda I'm so excited for your next books thank gods for Amazon.com! I adore all your vampire and mortal characters I have read every single vampire book you have written and I am also waiting for Mara's book. much love,
Danielle

Hi Danielle ~ I'm delighted to know you've enjoyed my books. I do love writing them! Just can't get enough vampires!!! Hope you enjoy the new books!!!! Mandy 8/28/11

Oh Mandy Im so excited that finally Blue Hawk has a story, I have been waiting for sometime for this. Do you know when it is going to be released for the Kindle, also do you know if the other reckless books are going to be re-released for amazon. Jeri

Hi Jeri ~ Blue Hawk's story, Reckless Destiny, will be available on Kindle hopefully on September 1st. It's also going to be part of a print anthology titled Tales of Western Romance to be published later this year.

As for my other Reckless books, I'm currently in negotiations to have them published first as eBooks and then in print. Will post details on my web page as I get them. They've been out of print for a very long time. Mandy 8/25/11


Mandy,
Just got my October issue of RT Book Reviews and you did it again!! Bound By Blood received Top Pick 4 and a half stars!!!! I can't wait to read it!! Congrats!!!! Janean

Hi Janean ~ Naturally, I'm thrilled. It's been so long since I received a Top Pick, and then to do it two months in a row....well, it's just the most amazing feeling, especially because I LOVE these books! Mandy 8/21/11

Hello :) I just finished reading "Chase the Lightning" (You are now my favorite author) I had a paint horse named Lightning and your book had me smiling, sighing, laughing out loud, remembering times with my own horse and the storyline was amazing! Thank you for such a great read...I have a list of your other titles to read next! :)
Kim T. (Mississippi)

Hi Kim ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed Chase the Lightning. It was wonderful fun to write. I've always loved horses. I've written two short stories featuring Relampago - Capture the Lighthing and Catch the Lightning - both eBooks but soon to be available in a print anthology. Mandy, happy to be your favorite author :) 8/11/11



Hi Ms. Amanda. Hope you and your family are doing well and keeping cool. I'm counting the days until Bound by Night comes out. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Hugs Misty

Hi Misty. We're doing well. God bless the man who invented air conditioning! As for Bound by Night, I'm counting the days, too, anxious to see if my readers like it as much as I do Hope you're having a wonderfull summer. Mandy 8/9/11

Hi Amanda, I have read all your vampire books and can't wait for bound by night to come out this month. I have not heard much about Mara's story lately. Is it still a go? She was such an interesting character.
Cathy

Hi Cathy ~ Ah, Mara....she's still in the queue (not sure that's how you spell it). I think I've resolved the problem that was slowing me down. At least, I hope so!!!! Mandy 8/6/11

Hi. Last try for me to get it right. Amazon is offering Blood and Moonlight for sale as a pre-order. They show a release date of August 6th. I knew I saw a date somewhere. Anyway, I just wanted to know the title of your story in this anthology if you don't mind. Thanks again and I apologize for any confusion!
Nancy O.

Hi Nancy ~ According to the latest information I have, there is no concrete release date for Blood and Moonlight. My short short is titled Masquerade and has been published in two other anthologies, the most recent one being in After Twilight. Hope this helps. When I get a firm date for B&M, I'll post it on my web page. Mandy 7/25/11

Greetings Mandy! Theres only one thing I like to say and thats *Thank you* for always making me laugh,cry and love! Your a wonderful writer, keep it up! {Eve}

Hi Eve ~ You're very welcome. I love writing and hope to write many more books. Hope you're having a wonderful summer. Mandy 7/25/11

hey amanda i like to say im in love with ur books ive read about all of your vampire books and just like to say keep them coming,
Heaven

Thanks so much. You know I love writing them and hope to write many more. Mandy 7/13/11

Hi Mandy Just dropping by to say hi, I recently just started reading Everlasting desire, So far it's amazing as all your books are. Love Rhys by the way! My sister can't wait to read it to she adores all your books as well since I introduced her to them. Well hope you have a wonderful summer with your family. From Jodi :)

Hi Jodi ~ I'm so glad you liked Rhys. I just loved him in Everlasting Kiss and couldn't let him go! I love all my heroes, but some are just a little more appealing than others. Rhys was one of them. My hero, Zack, from Bound by Blood is another one. A wonderful summer to you and your family as well. Mandy 7/13/11

Hi Ms. Amanda. Hope you and your family have a safe and Happy 4th of July. Hugs Misty

Hi Misty ~ We did! Thanks for thinking of me. Hope you also had a wonderful day. Mandy 7/5/11

Have read all your Amanda Ashley books and love them. Will buy your next one when it comes out. Wanted to participate in your contest, but don't know how.

Hi. I'm happy to know you've enjoyed my books. As for entering my contest, you just did! Best of luck to you. Mandy 7/4/11

Hi Mandy,
Just dropping by to say - Happy 4th of JULY :) the 4 this year fell on a Monday, would that mean it would be a long weekend for you guys? And what happens when if falls on a Wednesday or Thursday? Well hope you are well and have fun.
Kara.C

Hi Kara ~ Thanks for the good wishes. We celebrate the 4th on whatever day it falls on. And yes, it does mean a long weekend for some people. Take care. Mandy 7/4/11

I was wondering if you were going to write Tomas Villagrande story.

I don't have any plans to do his story at the moment. Mandy 7/4/11

I was giving "Love in the Wind" over 20 years ago. I just let my daughter read it..that hates reading. She couldn't put it down!! She even decided she now loves to read. I told her how I view you as an artist and how paint a beautiful world. She now understands. I am trying to find my copy of "Warrior's Lady" as that is one of my all time favorite books. I am going to read more of your novels and pass them along to a newby. Thanks for your work!!
Michelle in Tennessee


Hi Michelle ~ I'm delighted to know that my book turned your non-reader into a reader. I love to hear that. I've always loved to read and just can't imagine what life would be like without it. What a lovely thing to say - that I'm an artist and paint beautiful worlds. Thank you! Have a wonderful summer.
Mandy


Do you think you could cram anything more onto this site? There just is not enough !

LOLOL. Mandy 7/4/11

Mandy,

Well I looked at the title of the one I'm reading. It's Night's Master. Hopefully if I tell you it's good, that's good enough. Your writing is a great summer escape. I took the plunge and got a kindle and downloaded Embrace the Night and The Music of the Night.

Just curious as to whether you've looked up Michael Fassbender? He was Azazeal in the BBC series Hex and recently he was Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre and Magneto in X-Men First Class.

Well back to the book. I moderate a website for Gerard Butler and I have to wonder (and maybe I'll have to ask) if the members of the board know about your new novel Music of the Night. There are quite a few (thousands) of Gerry and Phantom fans and if they don't know about the book, I think they'd definitely want to take a look. Cheers! Susan

Hi Susan ~ Would love to have more readers for The Music of the Night. I love that story, short though it may be!

I did look up Michael Fassbender. From the pictures I saw, he didn't strike me as the vampire type - he looks too nice Not dark and tortured enough. But, since I've never seen him act, I could be wrong! Mandy 6/12/11


Mandy,

I've read two of your books now - Dead Perfect and Shades of Grey. I'm in the middle of a third one and now I'm thinking of getting a kindle and well, it would be to store your books on there. It's funny though as I read, I get an idea of the actor Michael Fassbender as the leading character in Dead Perfect and Shades of Grey. What do you think? Is he appropriately smoldering?

By the way, Shades of Grey was a nice way to make it through jury duty for the day.

lafemme

Hi Lafemme ~ I hate to admit my ingorance, but I have no idea who Michael Fassbender is. I'll have to go look him up on the internet.
Happy to know Shades of Gray got you through jury duty, which can be amazingly boring - jury duty, that is, not the book Mandy 6/11/11


Just received my book. Thanks a lot. Sharon B.

You're welcome, Sharon. I hope you enjoy it. Mandy 6/9/11

Hi Mandy,
I'm getting a kindle and looked up your books to find that some aren't available for kindle. Shades of Gray for example *one of my favorites* I couldn't find, nor A Darker Dream. Do you know if they will make these available for kindle? Also, just a fun question, what is your favorite love song?

Look forward to next book!!! Jeannette

What is your most memorable fan memory?

Hi Jeannette ~ I'm hoping all of the above questions are from you As for Shades of Gray and A Darker Dream, I don't know if they'll be available as eBooks. I'll ask my publisher.

Fav song? Gosh, it's hard to pick just one, but I really love the song "If I Can't Love Her" from the play Beauty and the Beast.

Fav fan memory? I think my favorite one was a letter from a teenage Indian boy who said reading my Westerns gave him an appreciation for his Indian heritage. Mandy 6/6/11


hi,
lol slight typo i guess you mean #5 you typed #4 and it made no sense at first but then again neither did #5 as i was unaware they were making another one. If Johnny Depp isn't in it or the writers are not the same it will be a disaster waiting to happen i think. I wouldn't watch it. Johnny Depp IS POTC it was bad enough when they didn't have Orlando and Keira. P.S thanks for your help b4. I'm still undecided but now if i do i'm out to find one that you will agree with and like as much as the one I have now :)
Kara.C

Hi Kara ~ You're right, I meant #4. Don't know if they'll make a number 5, although I read somewhere that Johnny said he'd keep making them as long as they wanted him to, so there's hope. Mandy 6/3/11

Hi Mandy,
I just watched POTC 4 I must say I prefer the others but it was by far good enough a nice movie different rhythm than the others must say I didn't favour the darker aspect of it. Notice how all movies more than 2 turn darker and darker with each one not a real fan of that to be honest. Though I am egger to hear what you thought of the mermaid and priest love story component in the film I thought it was rather entertaining and new (to me anyway) rather oww inspiring. Hope all is well with you all the best
Kara.C

Hi Kara ~ I thought #4 was better than #2 and #3, but not as good as #1. I really liked the priest and the mermaid. Maybe they'll turn up in #4 Mandy 6/1/11

I can't believe I finally won. Now if I could just figure out what snail mail is? Sharon B

LOL, Sharon. Your book is in the mail. Mandy 6/1/11

I have to say that I am happy that your new book will be out while I get to sit in the sun and read read read... while the kids play in the pool soo cannot wait! Have a great weekend! Tiffany

Thanks, Tiffany! A happy holiday to you, too! Mandy 5/28/11

Hi Mandy- Love the vampires and cannot wait for the new releases to come out. I have all the books for the vampire books till now so I am in withdrawal for a new one. Your stories and characters are so great, thank you for sharing them with all of us.- S. Lion

Hi ~ Sorry you're in withdrawal! I'm writing as fast as I can I think you'll be happy with the two new books. I love both the heroes, but then, I always love them. Mandy 5/25/11

Mandy I too cannot wait till next season.. I dont want them to have Damon play a pathetic guy in love but rather bring her up to his level.... soo cannot wait. and I have the DVD's also you can never have too much of that show! love to you Tiffany

Hi Tiffany ~ You are right on all counts!!!!! Mandy 5/22/11

HI MANDY!! just got caught up on Vampire Diaries and I hope you have watched .. All I can say is OH how happy I am ..lol Love that Damon.... and Glad he just may get what he wants for once. Grin... hope all is well in your world much Love Tffany

Hi Tiffany ~ Oh my gosh! The finale was amazing, but then, the whole show is amazing. Stefan going bad? I love it! Elena and Damon working together? I love it. Falling in love? I HOPE SO! Don't know how they expect us to wait for the new season!!!! Can't wait for the Season 2 DVD, even though I recorded all the shows.
Mandy 5/16/11


Just wanted to say YOU ROCK! Loved Bound by Night :) Keep up the always amazing work! Crystal Adkins

Hi Crystal ~ So glad you loved the book. Thanks for the great review!!!! Mandy 5/10/11

Hi Ms. Amanda Hope you had a great Mother's Day. Hugs Misty

Thanks, Misty! I did. Mandy

Hi Amanda! I wan to say that the first two paranormal books I ever owned(besides Anne Rice) was Rayne and Gregori's stories. I love them and the spines are well worn. I recently got to read Rohan's book and finally found Antoine's and Erik's. I hope to be able to get more of your books! I love the ones I've read and the books that they have led me to.

Hi Nikki ~ I guess we all started with Anne Rice :)
I'm happy to know you're reading and enjoying my books. I love writing them. I'm really excited about the two coming out this year and hope you will be, too.
Mandy 5/5/11


Mandy,
I got your package this past Thursday (I think), or Friday. I left you a comment on your Facebook fan page but I wasn't sure how much you check it so I thought I should leave one here. Thanks again. -Steven's Cybrary xoxo

Steven - Can't wait to hear what you think of the bew book!!!! Mandy 5/2/11

Have you been watching the new series BEING HUMAN? Love it!!

I've seen a couple of episodes...cute vampire :) Mandy 5/2/11

Hi Ms. Amanda. Wish you and your family a Happy Easter. *smiles* Enjoy the chocolate, I know I will. Hugs, Misty

And a happy Easter to you, too, Misty. We had a wonderful day. We hid 184 plastic Easter eggs for the kids. Sure hope we found them all. Hate for all that candy to go bad!!!! Mandy 4/24/11

Mandy DID you watch Vampire Diaries last night??? ohhhh sigh love that Damon!!! lol:) Cant wait to read what you have in store for us next! and as for Mara's story next year I hope it is for a summer read... Much love Tiffany

Tiffany, I NEVER miss the Vampire Diaries! Must have my Damon fix! I think you'll like my next two books - Bound by Night and Bound by Blood. At least I hope so! As for Mara's story, I haven't turned it in yet, so I don't have a pub date.....Mandy 4/19/11

I love you vampire romance,I have read them all, when a new one comes out I am up all night reading. I did not read for a long time, having kids and life, but when I started reading your books they take you away for a little while. you really have a gift for writing. love you
caroline

Hi Caroline ~ I'm so happy to know you've read and enjoyed my books. I love writing them! And I'm delighted to know they got you reading. I can't imagine a life without books. How else can we escape reality? Best, Mandy 4/14/11

HI! I just started reading your books a couple of months aga and I love each one that I have read! I just finished reading the last in the night series Rane's story and noticed at the end you mentioned that you had written Mara's story. Is that book available yet? I didn't see it in your list of books. Thanks for your time -- Amy M.

Hi Amy ~ I'm delighted to know you've enjoyed my books and that you've read my Night series. As for Mara's story, I'm hoping it will be out sometime next year. Mandy 3/29/11

Mandy,
i meant Amanda ashley book for my mom-in-law, lol. i didnt know you wrote time travel books (indians) another fav. MY mom is more of a v.c andrews kinda gal but she loves all things indian. dear god i sound like i'm gonna buy them a stack of books, lol! i saw your title " the angel and the outlaw" it reminded me of a song by tim mcgraw INDIAN OUTLAW.
Also i forgot to say i loved your story 'Born of the Night' in "stroke of midnight" you ladies did an excellent job i loved all the stories plus all were my top shelf fav. authors lol! Amanda D. rebelsparky_nirvana@yahoo.com i'm on goodreads!

Hi Amanda ~ I love Tim McGraw, and love that song. Happy to know you enjoyed Born of the Night. Mandy 3/26/11

Mandy,
I love your comment about your family and friends reading your books! so funny. I'm a huge romance fan, i do read other books sniff* but romance is so much better! out of 9 siblings only 1 really reads besides me, and i have only one friend that reads to. well i can't say "only one reads" i'm sure the others know how to read, unfortunately not for entertainment purposes. my mother-in-law is a reader thank god! I have over 2,000 books and unfortunately only 2 bookshelves; and she's a huge fan of harlequin presents. Which i am too, but the paranormal vamps and werewolves are def. my gotta-haves. fortunately she is ( obsessed! with the twilight saga) thusly i believe i can win her over to the 'dark' side of romance. sneak a madeline book in with the harlequin and see if i have an addiction buddy!!! Mandy i love your covers! is there anyway i can get any bookplates or bookmakers. PLEASE~~~~ your fan Amanda D.


Hi Amanda ~ if you email me your snail mail address, I'll be happy to send you some bookmarks. I should have one for my upcoming book in a few days, plus I have some other ones. WHere on earth do you keep 2,000 books?????? Mandy 3/26/11

Mandy,
i love your books oh so much, i always have trouble putting your books down, they seem to trap me in a whole nother univers, your a great author and by far my favorite,keep up the fantastic job.
Carmen

Hi Carmen ~ Thank you so much for your kind words. Hearing that you can't put my books down is probably the highest praise any author can hope for! Mandy, happy to be your favorite author :) 3/21/11

I have recently become a fan of your vampire books I have really enjoyed the Night's series. In the end of Night's Pleasure there was a comment that you were finishing (or did finish) Mara's book. But I can't seem to find it. I really liked this series as well as the family. I was hoping you could bring a little light (not to much for the vampire's sake - haha) on Mara's book so that I can look for it. Thanks very much for writing such good books. Bonnie

Hi Bonnie ~ I'm happy to know you've enjoyed my Night books. Mara's story hasn't been published yet, but I'm hoping to get it out next year. As I've said many times before, I'm surprised at how many people have asked about her, but them, maybe I shouldn't be, since I also found her to be quite fascinating, especially for a character who was only supposed to be in one book!!!! LOL re the too much light. Mandy 3/20/11

Mandy,
I know! I've been so overwhelmed with school this quarter. I had to read 5 books in one class, 3 in another, and 1 in another. Unfortunately none were Amanda Ashley novels or I would have zipped right through them! :) Keep up the great writing! My very brief short story is going to be published in my Campus Journal. I am so excited!! Next week is finals and I can finally breathe again. LOL!

Hi ~ good luck on tests and congrats on getting your short story published in the Campus Journal. It still counts as a publishing credit when you query book editors Mandy 3/20/11

Hi Ms. Amanda. I love the covers of the 2 new books. Can't wait till they come out because I'm gonna get them the first day their in the store. Hugs. Misty

Hi Misty ~ so glad you like the covers! They're a little different from the usual ones, but I think they're very eye-catching! Mandy 3/7/11

Sorry forgot to leave name. I love reading your books. Have you ever wrote a medieval vampire story?
Kimmie Lange

Hi Kimmie ~ If you mean a story with knights and fair ladies, the answer is no, but a couple of my books are set in the past instead of the present - Embrace the Night and A Darker Dream are set in the past. And Bound by Night, while set in the present (because my publisher wanted a contemporary book) has the feel of being in the past. Most of the story takes place in an old castle. Mandy 3/5/11

I lost the contest yet again. Borders near our house is going out of business, and I got the last copy of Everlasting Desire. Just finished Comanche Flame. I have mixed feelings about Dancer. Sharon

Hi Sharon ~ The Borders where I live is closing, too. I'm really bummed out about it, since that's where I shop. Ah, Dancer, he was the very first hero I ever wrote...Mandy 3/4/11

Mandy,
Are you saying that short story is the same one in After Twilight? I have that book and have read that story already and really loved it. Becky

Hi Becky ~ Yes, I think the short story they're using for my part of the anthology is Masquerade. Mandy 3/4/11

Hey Mandy. Just dropping by to send some love your way. Miss you and hope all is well babe. xoxo
Steven
Steven's Cybrary

Hey Steven ~ How's it going? Haven't heard from you in a long time!!!! Doing good here. Really happy with my two upcoming books. Just wish they were coming out a little sooner!!!! Mandy 3/4/11


Hi Amanda,
I was just in the BN site and noticed that your book Blood & Moonlight is now ready for pre order for your fans if they are interested. This is a trilogy of 3 authors one being Amanda Ashley. Becky

Hi Becky ~ Last I heard, there was some question if that book would be published. I'm hoping it happens...however, my short story has been previously published in an anthology titled After Twilight, currently out of print. Mandy 3/2/11

Hi Ms. Amanda. I'm sad about Borders closing,too. I like to be able to just sit back and read a real book. I just wonder if pretty soon all books will be ebooks. Stupid technology. Hugs. Misty.

Hi Misty ~ I'm hoping there will always be paperback books. But I have to say, one of the things I really like about my Kindle is that Amazon will send you sample chapters of their books. It came in very handy for me because there was a book I was thinking of buying by an author I like. I downloaded the sample and discovered I didn't want to read the book. Mandy 2/26/11

Mandy to the person wanting kindle apps .. you can download kindle for PC you do have to have a amazon.com account but that is very easy to sign up for one. any books you wish to by for kindle will download right to your pc app. I know this because my kindle was broken and while i was waiting for the replacement they told me to do this. also for ipod if you have one! I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE DAMON WIN OVER Elaina!:) love from snowy washington Tiffany D

Hi Tiffany ~ thanks for the tip about d/l the Kindle app to your PC. I'll post that on my web site and my Facebook page. As for Damon and Elena, oh my gosh, I hope it happens!!!!!
Mandy 2/26/11


Mandy,
I was wondering if your publisher was going to make Shades of Gray (my fav by the way) and more of your older vampire books as ebooks for the Amazon Kindle any time soon? I sure wish they would especially Shades of Gray because my print books are getting worn from all the rereading of them. Thanks, Janean

Hi Janean ~ That's a good question. AT the moment, I think only EMBRACE THE NIGHT is available as an eBook. I'll email my publisher and see what they say. Have a great weekend. Mandy 2/25/11

Mandy, Thanks for changing this months contest rules. Some of us spend our weekends with romance novels, we don't have time for real relationships. Sharon

LOL, Sharon. You're welcome! Mandy 2/23/11

hi mandy
i love love love love your books everyone is a thrill my favourite is the night sequels but i was wondering if you are going to write maras book that would be so good yahoo lol

Ah, Mara. I wrote her story but then I had some troble with it. I'm still hoping to get it out there, so don't give up hope. Mandy 2/22/11

Hi,
Just to point out that's not fair, those who don’t have or never have had, or simply don't have a significant other with a romantic bone in their body can't entre this month’s contest, unless we make it up - is that allowed? ;)
Kara.C

Kara - Oh, dear, I didn't think of that....see new rules above! Mandy 2/16/11


How do I receive the bookmarks? I would love to have some! I have read all of your books and love them!!! When i put the email that was given it said invalid. What should I do?
Ashley Vallee


Hi Ashley - Just email me your snail maid addy. My email is DarkWritr@aol.com
Mandy 2/11/11


Hi Mandy just wanted to say I love your books and cant wait for the new one.I just wish i could afford a kindle so i can get your ebook's to.

I think you can get kindle apps for your computer........anyone know this for sure? Mandy 2/11/11

Love all of your books, looking forward to reading Everlasting Desire next. Maybe I'll try to read it on the nook I got for Christmas(still learning how to use it) but glad to see the new short stories via ebook. Can't wait to read the new "Bound" Series, will these tie in with any of the other sets?

I haven't read anything on my Kindle yet, but I've d/l several books. And mine, of course Bound by Night and Bound by Blood aren't connected to any other books. At the moment, I'm not planning a third Bound book, but you never know. I never thought there would be 4 Night books! Mandy 2/11/11

Mandy,
You are going to love your Kindle! I love mine and love to read your books on them. I still love print books too, and of course yours are on my keeper self. I can't wait to see the Bound for Night cover and to read it of course. I am waiting to read your Skylynn, you had me hooked when you put the snipett on the site:) Happy Reading, Janean

Hi Janean ~ Skylynn's book won't be out until next year, since my editor wanted to do the two Bound books back-to-back. I've been busy doing copy-edits the last few days and haven't really had a chance to play with my Kindle, but I like it so far. Mandy 2/11/11
GOOD LORD I LOVE THAT DAMON>>>>LOL have a good weekend Tiffany


You and me both, Tiffany. You and me both!!!! Mandy 1/29/11

Mandy just wanted to say a quick hello and Glad your feeling better .. My mastiff Justice is very sick right now and doing all we can to keep him comfortable... so I spent the last 2 nights up reading sunlight moonlight. I have had it for a while and forgot about it .. as always such a good read.. and FYI NEW VAMPIRE DIARIES THIS THURSDAY THANK GOD!!!! :)

Hope Justice is feeling better! Glad you enjoyed Sunlight Moonlight. As for the Vampire Diaries, all I can is, IT'S ABOUT TIME! So glad my daughter-in-law gave me Season One on DVD. I watched it while I was sick. Mandy 1/27/11

Hay, hope you had a great holiday, I just read your page about the nomination for a 'Romantic Times Career Achievement Award' Good Luck no other writer could be more deserving, by the by I sent off another novel to Harlequin - Special moments + I'm working on 4 paranormals too. Fingers crossed. Good luck.
Kara.C

Hi Kara ~ Thank you for your good wishes re the RT nomination! It would be quite an honor to win! Best of luck with Harlequin!!!! Mandy 1/25/11

We must be kindred spirits because the very first historical I ever read was by Rosemary Rogers! She gave me my passion for romance, but you have fostered that passion. Recently I started reading Georgina Gentry, and I really like her stories. But yours will always be first in my heart. Sharon

Hi Sharon ~ I think Rosemary's book was a first for a lot of us!!!! Mandy 1/23/11

Hi Ms. Amanda. Sorry to hear that you've been sick. Hope you're feeling better. Hugs Misty

Thanks, Misty. I feel a lot better today, thank the Lord! Mandy 1/23/11

Before you started writing were you an avid reader of historical western romance? If so who were your favorite authors? Sharon

Hi Sharon ~ Yes, I read tons of historicals. I loved Patricia Potter, Kathleen Eagle, and Rosemary Rogers, who wrote the first historical I ever read. There were many other authors, but those the 3 that first come to mind. Mandy 1/22/11

Ciao la signorina Amanda,
One day, on a tuesday afternoon, when I was in a store buying materials for a project I came across the book section, and in all those stack of books on the shelves my eyes caught one of your books, 'Sunlight, Moonlight', aside from the cover being so mistificare the description at the back thrilled me so I went scanning the other shelves and there I found three other of your works(A Darker Dream; Deeper Than The Night; Embrace The Night), not taking a second look at it I went to the cashier and bought it, and just as I came home, i read 'Sunlight,Moonlight'...
I never want to let it go and in a way never want it to end...
So I read and read and in just a couple of hours and finding out it was already four in the morning, I've finished reading it. On the upcoming days 'til friday, I read, never stopping unless my searching eyes cannot do anything anymore but only to close, and my heart and mind slept. So I have read all and never in a second regretted buying it and trusting my guts. I've always love reading books of any kind but never in my vita would I think that I would love it this much. The stories you wrote, about devotion, sacrifices and vita eterna, has touch the deepest part of la mia mente e la mia anima. I was overwhelmed with all the emotions your books can bring. Oh yes, I can't seem to get in to your e-mail page...may I please get you e-mail address. Grazie!
Dio Benedice la signorina Amanda.

Hey Mandy,
You ruined vampire romances to me [IN A GOOD WAY]. You know out of all the books i read and out of all the Authors no Vampire story will ever meet up to Midnight Embrace. LOL With That said Where can i get a new copy? My cover finally broke off and i lost two pages "cries". It last the 1000 readings LOL my poor book. I hope your holidays went well and the New Year has started off great for you. Keep beating out the words and oh i got a band for you to try out well your writing its name is Within Temptation. I really love the songs All i need and Angels.

Thank you Austin

Hi Austin ~ Thanks for the kind words about my books. I'm happy to have ruined you for all other vampire romances! Not really. Lots of good authors out there. As for Midnight Embrace, I might have a copy. Email me and I'll check. Mandy 1/12/11

Hi Amanda,
Received my newsletter today. I'm working on the Vampire Ball already for this year in NOLA. The lady that won your books told Suzi they were very good. I'm glad you helped me out and that I could introduce someone new to your series. Your a wonderful and generous author. Thank you again for all your help. I will probably be begging again later in the year.LOL I wish you nothing but good things and very prosperous New Year. Take care. Teresa K.

Hi Teresa. Thank you for your kind words. Glad to be of help. No need to "beg", just ask.

I live in Barbados How can i get copies of your early paranormal novels

Gosh, I don't know. Due to the cost of postage, I'm not sure publishers mail books out of the country. I'll try and remember to ask my editor.

Loved Catch the Lightning. My only complaint was it was not long enough. Just when you got into it good it was over. I'm looking forward to reading more westerns. Sharon (love those Westerns).

Hi Sharon ~ Happy to know you liked Catch the Lightning. The reason it's so short is that it was part of The Mammoth Book of Time Travel Romance, which contained numerous short stories, so none of them could be very long. Mandy 12/27/10

Hi Ms. Amanda. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year. Hugs, Misty

Hi Misty ~ I had a wonderful Christmas. All my kids were here and we had a great time together. Lots of laughs. Lots of food. Lots of love. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, too, and that 2011 is your best year yet!!!! Mandy 12/26/10

I absolutely love your books. They are so captivating. I'm only six away from having them all. I hope to find all of them very soon! Keep up your great work!

Thanks bunches! Mandy 12/26/10

no one is perfect...it's the imperfections that make things interesting! my goal is to get every one of your books..something I rarely do with authors! they always (pardon the expression) suck me in! : )

yes, a dream sequence involving both Josef & Damon is always one to strive for! lol! am loving Alex on H5-O! have heard he is a really decent guy (never having the opportunity myself to know!) & deserves a hit! the show is pretty great (was not a fan of original!)!
keep those wonderful books coming! I am working on catching up on all!
Happy Holidays! Kat

Hi Kat ~ LOL re your comment that no one is perfect. How true that is! And how fortunate. I think perfection would be hard to live with! As for Alex, everything I've heard and read about him seems to attest that he's a nice guy. The fact that he's not always in the tabloids is further truth Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. I can't believe the year is almost over. It's been a good one for me! Mandy 12/17/10

just wanting to know if I'm missing something in this one (LOVE your books, btw!)... pg 83 (in paperback) of Dead Perfect has her wondering if he has a picture i.d. since vampires don't photograph....but she doesn't find out till much later in the book that he IS a vampire.

am thoroughly enjoying the story (and the other books I've read of yours) regardless! really LOVED the one with Rhys & Megan... so far, not a bad one in the bunch! so glad I discovered your books! (can't get enough of vampires! *G*)

btw, Moonlight is still my absolutely favorite of all times (& Josef the hottest ever!!!), so I was thrilled to see you made a note of that in one of your books! very cool! Kat

Hi Kat ~ Can't believe that line on page 83 made it past me, my critique group, and my editor. Color my face red with embarassment!!!! Glad you enjoyed Rhys' story. I love him. As for Moonlight, I still miss that show. Josef was cool! It's nice to see Alex on Hawaii 5-0 though. I really like it.

Dear Amanda,
Would you PLEASE forward this email on to your publisher's art department and have them please at least TRY and match up the looks on the cover to the character's in the book.
Thanks,
S.Colgan

Hi ~ the fact that cover art doesn't always depict the characters in the book is a common complaint among both readers and writers. Will forward your mail to my editor. Mandy 12/11/10

Amanda, when is mara's book coming out? from the night series. i cant wait to read it.

Sorry to say, I have no idea when Mara's story will be out. I had some trouble with it but I think I'm on the right track now. I was premature, I guess, when I said it would be out soon. I feel bad about that, as so many of my readers have been patiently waiting for her story. Mandy 12/7/10

Just read Night's Master. It was so amazing1 i just couldn't put it down and thanks for you help with the interview question.
~Brittany

Hi Brittany ~ glad I could help. And happy to know you enjoyed Night's Master. Mandy 12/7/10

So Ms. Amanda~~~ I finally got around to delving into all your "scrumptious" books...however I'm having a fit because I'm finding it impossible to procure "Shades of Grey" and "After Sundown"....I do have the 3rd one (Desire After Dark) but I really would appreciate some help in getting the first two....PLEASE??? A loyal reader...Jodi Betterman jodibetter@comcast.net

Hi Jodi ~ I'm sorry to say that, as far as I know, "Shades of Gray" and "After Sundown" are currently out of print. If you email me, I may be able to help you. Mandy 12/3/10

For a publishing company or an agent.
~Brittany

I don't recall having an interview with a publisher. In fact, I've never met my publisher or my former editor. My agent didn't interview me, and I didn't interview him. We just talked on the phone.
Mandy 12/3/10


I'm in career planning right now and I was wondering if you could tell me some of the questions you were ask in an interview.
~Brittany

Hi Brittany ~ In an interview for what? Mandy 11/30/10

Hi Ms. Amanda. I just finished reading Everlasting Desire and I absolutely loved it. Can't wait for Alex's story. Hugs. Misty

Hi Misty ~ So glad you liked it! I can't wait to get back to Alex's story. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I can't believe it's almost Christmas!!!! Mandy 11/29/10

Thank you very much. It was very helpful and I will let you know how it goes.
-Brittany

Hi Brittany ~ glad I could be of help. Best of luck! Mandy 11/16/10

I am asspiring to be a paranormal author like you. I was wondering what your advice is and the reason I am asking you is because you are my idol.
-Brittany

Hi Brittany ~ If you go to my Amanda Ashley page, towards the bottom, thre's an article called So You Want to Be a Writer. I hope it will answer your question, at least a little :) Mandy 11/15/10

Hi Mandy
Well I got to download the new baker books to my kindle Catch the lightning, heart of the hunter and loves serenade and love all 3 of them. You are such a talent and I hope that you can continue with the historical romance. I must admit that I have not read many the Amanda Ashley books only a few but Im in the process of getting those and making up for lost time. I just re-read Midnight Embrace I think that it must be the 4th time I have read it, and it just get's better everytime I read it. Im working on Sunlight,Moonlight right now and love what I have gotten to so far. You truely are a talent and absolutely love all your books.
Im glad to know that you are a twilight fan also, it was funny because when I went with my daughter and saw Jacob take that shirt off I felt like a dirty old lady...LOL
Jeri

Hi Jeri ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed the three books you downloaded. I'm thinking of buying a Kindle just so I can download all my own books I'm hoping to write another Relampago story in the near future. Those are fun. I'm happy to know you're getting into my Ashley books. I really love my vampires!!!! As for Twilight, I like Edward, but it's Jacob who makes me swoon....and don't feel like you're alone. A lot of us feel like dirty old ladies, including me.... Actually, I have a couple of his pictures on my desk. Purely for inspiration in my writing, of course Mandy 11/7/10


I just want to say I LOVE YOUR BOOKS. I just started reading them. And i have to say i am a big fan of TWILIGHT & VAMPIRE DIARIES.

Hi ~ I'm happy to know you love my books, and that you also share my other passions - Twilight and The Vampire Diaries. I'm for Team Jacob and Team Damon. Yum! Mandy 11/1/10
