THE LATEST NEWS.

Madeline Baker rides again! I just heard from my agent that Cerridwen Press is going to publish my time travel book! I believe it will be available first as an ebook and then in print. No pub date yet. Yes, I'm excited!

Reviews are coming in for NIGHT'S MASTER. Amanda Killgore said, "How can a book be charmingly sweet yet edgy at the same time? I don't know how, but Amanda Ashley invariably makes it happen and in a unique way that keeps me impatient for her next book. The family ties she forms that provide the foundations of her worlds make you care about them, whether it's the Cordova family, or Edward the hunter turned vampire, or any other set. Night's Master is almost impossible to put down, but is also gentle enough to be relaxing. I love how she conveys the sensual without being graphic and how Rafe respects his lady's morals. We need more of that in this world, in both reality and fiction. My hat is off to my fellow Amanda."

Online reviewer Crystal said: "Amanda Ashley’s book Night’s Master is just perfect. I am an avid reader and follower of Ms. Ashley’s work and with each book she continues to surpass my expectations of her. I find myself smiling, worried, and in the mindset of that one of a kind love with the picture she paints with words. Ms. Ashley skillfully pens a paranormal romance that brings your emotions right to the surface, everything is so vivid and beautiful. I am ready, Ms. Ashley, for the next book in the series, it just can’t get into my hands quick enough! If I could give a higher score than 5 hearts, I would, because she well deserves it!"

I'm thrilled with the cover for my first book with Cerridwen Press (above). They're going to be reissuing some of my older Baker titles, first as eBooks and then in paperback.

Also, my book, CHASE THE WIND, has been translated into Dutch. The publisher has given it a really nice cover.

Don't forget, THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF VAMPIRE ROMANCE will be distributed in the US and the UK in August and July respectively. My story involves the Phantom of the Opera. Anyone who knows me, knows how I love the Phantom! I seem to have a thing for men in capes - I like the Phantom, Dracula, Batman, Superman....hmmm, what does that say about me, I wonder?

NIGHT'S MASTER will be released in October. The back cover copy for NIGHT'S MASTER says:

PASSION HAS A DARKER SIDE…

Kathy McKenna was sure that the little Midwestern town of Oak Hollow would be isolated enough for safety, but the moment the black-clad stranger walked into her bookstore, she knew she was wrong. Raphael Cordova exudes smoldering power, and his sensual touch draws Kathy into a world of limitless pleasure and unimaginable dangers.

Oak Hollow was supposed to be neutral territory for Supernatural beings. Instead it has become home to an evil force determined to destroy them—and kill any mortal who gets in the way. As leader of the North American vampires, Raphael has always put duty first, but then, no woman ever enthralled him the way Kathy does. And as the enemy’s terrifying plan is revealed, Raphael’s desire could be a fatal distraction for all his kind, and for the woman he has sworn to love forever…
