Historical Romance by Madeline Baker Looking way ahead, Leisure will be reissuing four more of my out-of-print books next February. At this time, I don't know which four. I'm hoping it will be my RECKLESS series, but it isn't up to
Three of my Leisure short stories are being reissued by Cerridwen Press. HEART OF THE HUNTER will be out this month. My two short stories - Loving Sarah and Loving Devlin - have been combined into one book titled LOVE'S SERENADE. These will be available first as eBooks and then in trade paperback. Hope all is well and happy in your corner of the world. Mandy  UPCOMING BOOKS  May 25th  November 19, 2010  August 2009  December 24, 2009 From the moment she caught sight of him,, working on the road gang, Brianna knew the Indian was forbidden to her. He was a prisoner, a heathen, a savage male animal who would have no mercy on her tender youth and innocence. Yet one look in his dark, fathomless eyes told Brianna he’d captured her soul. WILD LOVE From the moment he escaped the white man’s chains, Brianna knew she must go with him. He was her life, her fate, and one touch of his sleek, bronzed body told her she wanted no mercy…only the searing ecstasy of his savage love.  December 2009 This exciting collection contains 25 short tales of adventure and love. Join the dashing characters as they slip through the ages, finding themselves transported back to settings including medieval Scotland, sixteenth-century England, and the nineteenth-century American West—or sometimes forward to the present day and even the future.

BRIEF BIO....
I was born in California and I’ve lived here all my life. I never intended to be a published author. It just happened. One night, when my husband was at work and the kids were in bed and there was nothing on TV, I sat down and started writing a book of my own, simply for the fun of it. I knew nothing about writing or publishing, but that didn’t matter, since I never expected anyone else to read what I wrote. I wrote three stories and hid them under the bed. One day, when talking to a couple of girlfriends, one of them mentioned she was writing a book, and I blurted out that I had written one, too. She asked to read it. I was horrified. I couldn’t imagine letting anyone else read what I’d written. However, after much wheedling on her part, I gave in and let her read my book. It was COMANCHE FLAME. She said it was very good, very visual, and that I should try to get it published. Encouraged by her praise, I let my best friend read it. She loved it and said it was just as good, if not better, than a lot of books we were buying. After considering their words, I decided to try and find a publisher. Well, that was no easy task. As I said, I had no knowledge of the book business. My friend suggested I get a copy of Writer’s Market and look for book publishers, which I did. Thus began six years of sending out query letters, being asked for the manuscript, being rejected. Eventually, after 31 rejections, I sold a book. My first sale was the third book I had written and was called RECKLESS HEART. I’ve been writing ever since. After 14 historicals, I wrote a short story called MASQUERADE, which was published by Topaz in a book called THE TOPAZ MAN PRESENTS SECRETS OF THE HEART. That book is now out of print, but Masquerade was republished in an anthology tited AFTER TWILIGHT. But I digress. I loved writing about vampires, loved my dark, dangerous, tormented hero! I was hooked…or bitten, if you will,and knew I had to do more, and so it was that Amanda Ashley was born. One of the great things about being a published author is all the wonderful people I've met because of it, both authors and readers, that I never would have met otherwise. These wonderful people include my critique group, five of the nicest women I've ever known. Thanks, ladies! |
