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 .

Click and type in a question or commentHi Amanda. Your books are fantastic. I fall in love with every vampire in them. You have a wonderful imagination, I can never wait till your next book comes out. I get online everyday just to hope it'll come out sooner. It never does but you can bet I rush to the bookstore when they do.
Your my hero,
Ginny
Hi Ginny ~ Thank you so much! I'm delighted that you've enjoyed my books. I wish they came out more often, too. I'm writing as fast as I can LOL. Happy to be your hero. Thanks for signing my guestbook. Mandy 7/23/10
Hi Amanda!
I am in love with your style of writing, and everytime I pick up one of your novels I immediately get transported into the world you've created :) I'm looking forward to reading all of your books someday. I'm waiting for them to start making movies of your novels! I also appreciate your ability to captivate the reader without vulgarity.
Sincerely,
Kelly :)
Hi Kelly ~ I'm happy to know you're enjoying my books. I love writing them for the same reason you enjoy reading them - they take me away to other worlds. Movies would be great! I appreciate your commnet re the lack of vulgarity in my books. I don't like reading it. I will never write it. Thanks, again!
Mandy 7/22/10
where will miras story be out
I'm thinking 2012.....I already have 2 books scheduled for 2011. Mandy 7/21/10
Ello Mandy,
So where is the link to add you on myspace and Face book? O i want to recomend Vaampires Suck te new spoof of Twlight saga Very funny. Thanks for the prizes i love them.
Austin R
Hi Austin ~ My name on Facebook is AmandaAshley. I rarely go to MySpace any more and am thinking of deleting my page. Glad you like your prizes. Mandy 7/21/10
Hi Mandy,
I finally got around to reading Nights Pleasure and am now reading Desire After Dark. I was surprised to see you wrote Mara into that story. Is she in all of your vampire stories since i havent read them all yet?
My bad. I forgot I had used that name in Desire After Dark when I wrote my Night books Her name is only used 3 times, I think, in Desire. My bad! Mandy 7/21/10
Hello. I've never left a comment to an author before.. But I figured since I just finished reading a few of your books...again. I would tell you how amazing you are! I am excited for Mara's story and have searched for all the information I can get on when it comes out! If I could I would go out and buy all your books! But I doubt my mom would go for it. :p The night series is my favorite, even though some of the other vampire series of yours can be connected into it. That would make for a great book! All the vampires in one place. Anyway, keep writing great vampire series!
Lindsey.
Hi Lindsey ~ I'm happy to know you're enjoying my books. I'm amazed at how many people are waiting for Mara's story! It would be fun, to unite all my vampires into one book. If I can figure out a way to do that, I just might! Mandy 7/21/10
Hi Mandy! Long time no type :) As always, can't wait for your new book to come out. I've been spending my lunch hours at work re-reading all my books. My co-workers have been given quite an education on your books. Some of the gals have checked them out themselves. I did a quick search through your questions to see if it was asked - and I'm happy to see people are still asking about Mara! I just adore her, because of the series I nicknamed her Night's Queen when I refer to her character in a conversation. Anyway, thank you again for the wonderful reading experiance I get every time I read your books, even for the umpeenth-hundreth time :) Take care dear lady! Sue K.
Hi Sue ~ Thanks for encouraging others to read my books. I really appreciate that! As I mentioned above, it just amazes me that so many people are fascinated by Mara. I've never had a character that has created such a buzz. I sure hope that, when the book is finally published, people aren't disappointed!!!!!
Mandy 7/21/10
I can't wait for everlasting desire to come out. Will you continue with this series at all? i know you said two books but i just love them.
I don't have any plans for a third book at this time, but you never know. I never planned on a third or fourth Night book, either :) Mandy 7/9/10
Mandy I could not agree more my husband was giving me crap the whole time... HE just doesn't get it...lol going to get to go again on Friday~ its my Bday and I'll do what I want... :)Thanks for your response It is finally sunny here in Washington so I get to sit out and read all day while kids swim in the pool ! Take care Tiffany
Hi Tiffany ~ Happy Birthday to you. Can't think of a better present than seeing Eclipse again. I hope to see it again soon, just for the tent scene Mandy 7/7/10
Hi Mandy just wanted to stop by and say hello and hope you had a great 4th ... I cannot wait until Everlasting Desire...:)Did u go see Eclipse yet?? my husband took me on Wed he knew I could not wait! Thanks for giving me a little piece to slip away form reality with it makes life so much nicer.:)
Hi ~ I had a wonderful 4th! Oh, yes, I saw Eclipse on Wed. and can't wait to see it again. It was sooooo
good!!!! Love love loved it! Mandy 7/5/10
I love your books so much. When the world just isn't on my side and i think all hope is lost i pick up a copy of one of your books. They make every bit of my pain go away. I Am lost in the world you create. Never stop inspiring us.
Your amazing Mandy!
Virginia K. from West Virginia
Hi Virginia ~ Wow, thank you for your kind words. That was very sweet of you. You made my day. Mandy 7/4/10
Do your travels ever trigger a story in your head? I visited Cripple Creek Colorado and there is a story there just waiting to be told. sharon
Hi Sharon ~ Yes, we visited Bodie ghost town and my book, Unforgettable, was born there. Mandy i7/4/10
I love your books but I cant find The Captive any where. Oh well. Like I said I Love your books.
I'm happy to know you enjoy my books. I think you can order The Captive directly from Leisure Books at www.dorchesterpub.com Mandy 6/26/10
hi Mandy, my first and only copy of your book as of the moment is dead perfect (i just happen acquire it through a book shop who sells secondhand books) and the moment i started reading i can't stop myself until i finished reading it and i'm totally hooked with your books. as of the moment i content myself in re-reading your book (2x already)as your book is hard for me acquire. Thanks for putting your thoughts and fantasy into writing and sharing them with us. Good luck on your upcoming books. Regards! Sette(from southern part of The Philippines)
Hi Sette ~ I'm happy you enjoyed Dead Perfect (enough to read it twice). I'm sorry you're having trouble finding my other books. Perhaps you could order them from my publisher, although the postage might make that impractible. Anyway, it was nice to hear from you!
Mandy 6/24/10
hia,
just dropping a quick line, how are things, I’m still reading Moonlight, it's funny I preferred the first part to the second of Gabriel's story and now I like the second part to the first of Moonlight, if you followed that? but I still love it, always a page turner....
Can't wait untill Eclipse comes out next week, :)
C ya,
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ Twilight, Yes!!!! Can't wait. Hope all is well with you and yours. Mandy 6/24/10

Thanks and have a great summer. Elizabeth
Hi Elizabeth ~ I think you'll love Everlasting Desire. I know I do The guestbook is the link before the Questions and Comments section, or you can just click on the photo of the Twilight cast. Mandy 6/24/10
Hey Mandy. I just got home. I've been gone for 3 weeks. I did get the copy you sent. I will have the review up the end of this week. I also have some pictures for you I will email sometime later tomorrow. My email is acting up and I can't turn off my vacation response. Thanks again. Best wishes.

Hi Kim ~ Thanks for signing my guestbook. I'm glad you enjoy my books and hope I can always give you an awesome ride! Mandy 6/8/10
Hi Ms. Amanda. I sure hope you get to publish your historical paranormal because the part I read, I absolutely loved it. When I got to the end I was like NO! LOL. Anyway, good luck with it. Hugs. Misty
Thanks, Misty. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I don't have much hope for getting it published in the near future :( Mandy 5/5/10
I stumbled onto your books in the library.. and got hooked.. read Dead Sexy in about 6 hours!!! Really looking forward to delving into the rest of your books...
Kim B.
Hi Kim ~ I'm happy to know you enjoyed Dead Sexy, and always happy to "hook" a new reader :) Thanks for sharing. Mandy 6/3/10
Mandy,
I was looking at the movie listing you had seen, i have to agree with you Extraordinary Measures was a great movie and tear jerker. I loved Brendans role, he pulled it off so well.
I thought so, too. It's a shame movie goers today seem to want nothing but action and violence. Another great movie, IMO, was State of Play with Russell Crowe. Mandy 6/1/10
Where did you come up with the idea of having a vampire trapped in a painting? It was so different & reminded me of an old Twilight Zone episode. Shari 5/30/10
Hi Shari ~ I got the idea from a friend of mine. We were in a critique group together years ago and she started a book about a man in a painting but she never finished it. When I got the idea for my version (which is totally different from hers) I asked her if she cared if I used the man-in-the-painting as background for my book, and she said to go for it. I don't remember a Twilight Zone about a man in a painting. Can't believe I missed one! Mandy
5/30/10
Hi Amanda,Just this year I started reading your books,I have to say I love them. I can't wait for your next book.keep it up,YOUR GREAT.
Hi ~ thanks so much for your kind words. I'm happy to know you're enjoying my books and always glad to welcome a new reader! Mandy 5/25/10
Hi Ms. Amanda. I read Everlasting Kiss and all I can say is "WOW!!" That's about it. :) Hugs Misty
Hi Misty ~ So glad you enjoyed Everlasting Kiss! Wait until you read the next one!!!!
Mandy 5/24/10
I am a grandmother loves books about Vampires, werewolves, and other paranormal stories.
I love vampire romances and your are at the top of my shelf!
I would love to win your next contest - great prizes!
Thanks bunches! Mandy 12/14/10
I am re-reading some of your books this summer. Of course I have to start with Apache Runaway! Again. I just can't help myslef. Sharon
Hi Sharon ~ I love to hear that readers are re-reading my old books! I'd sure like to write some more historicals. I miss my cowboys and Indians. Mandy 5/12/10
Hi, Mandy,
Just a quick Q's I was wondering how do you get 'dedication' printed in a book? and do you need to ask the person, company ect, permission first?
would love to know the answer, if you know it.
thank heaps, :)
Sorry for being annoying
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ I just include the dedication when I send in my manuscript. You don't need permission to dedicate a book to someone. You would probably get a quicker reply to your questions if you just emailed me Mandy 4/6/10
Hi, Mandy,
I didn't mean that offensively, it was a compliment, it's because you’re so good that I had to do that! and it was only for a little while till I’d finished my own book, oh and my teacher today asked to borrow one of your books from me, I think I’ve already made her into an avid fan just by retelling your stories to her. She loves them!
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ I wasn't offended. I thought it was funny!!!! Tell your teacher hi for me.
Mandy 5/4/10
Hi, Mandy,
I did it! I made my deadline! Saving Isabella is finally finished. I know it's not a real one but I’ve been writing for years and have never finished a book by a deadline. Still its good practice what writer would I be if I never make deadlines? I’ve sent it to my sister to edit it as you may have guessed my spelling and grammar sucks!
Thank you for all your support it has really helped. oh remember when I said I was going to read some of your books for inspiration I didn't mean I was going to use any of your work I meant I get a curtain vibe from what I read and it helps me tone my own story to come across better, one problem your books are so good I couldn't put them down, I had to lock them in a cupboard just so I could work. lol.
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ LOL. You're the first person I know who locked my books in a cupboard. I think that's really funny. Congrats on meeting your deadline. Mandy 5/3/10
I had to commet Bella and Edward are a epic fail compaireous to Analisa and Alesandro. Don't get me wrong i like Twilight its good in its own write but, it could never hold a candle to the fire of Midnight Embrace.Mandy you are truely gifted and artist with a pen. you deserve a larger fan base but, i am glad you never aimed an adult themed book at Teens. You are gifted and i hope one day the muse who inspired Midnight Embrace will float back to you and inspire a second story of there love tale not that the muse you are using now is not wonderful it is but, you know i love my Midnight Embrace.
Austin
Hi Austin ~ Thank you so much for your kind words regarding Midnight Embrace. I consider it high praise indeed to be compared favorably to Twilight. As for a sequel to Midnight Embrace, I don't have any plans for one at this time, but you never know what the future holds. Mandy 5/3/10
Mandy,
I hope your husband doesn’t read your contact page, lol and I know having scorns of friends is better than a few you've at lest got me and I hope you see that as a good thing. I promote your books wherever I can. Which reminds me would you mind if I mention your name in my book as my characters fav author? I asked Sarah Morgan and she said I could I’m aiming to mention my three favs, hope you wont mind. and thank you in advance under pressure for the deadline I’m struggling to get the romance sense right and I thought what other characters have had the same kind of love as mine and I thought of one of your books it happens to be one I own. so I’m goanna take five and read one of the love scenes see if it can't give me inspiration. just 3 chps and 19 hours to go. help! I don't think I’m going to make it.
Kara.C
LOL. As far as I know, my husband has never looked at my web page. He's never read one of my books. He is computer illiterate. Feel free to use my name Deadlines can be sooooooooooo stressful!!!!! Good luck to you! Mandy 4/29/10
Hi again Mandy,
For the first time the trailer you loaded on your page of Eclipse worked, and OMG! I think I’m really going to like this one! More action, and horrors and well just more! Have you seen Jasper in this movie? I mean WOW, he's better looking than the both of them (Edward and Jacob) lol. Thanks for putting the trailer on I love it! You know what got me interested in Twilight in the first place? You. I saw a little write up on the first movie and said 'oh, cool a movie like Mandy's books!' meaning Vampiric love story. I went and saw it and well you know the rest. Hook line and sinker I was hooked.
Thanks,
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ Hate to disagree with you, but nobody's better than Jacob . I'm glad I got you interested in Twilight. I just wish I had as many readers/viewers and Stephanie Meyer!!!!! Mandy 4/27/10
Hi, Mandy,
After writing to you yesterday I got to read the backing, for Everlasting kiss, I thought you'd get a kick out of hearing how I describe my love of your books. it's like a vampire living in a place with no humans, no blood (now forgetting for a mo the fact the poor bugger would go insane with hunger) the desire for blood is there it's a part of his life, then he finds a human and that hunger flares powerfully alive again (even though it never died) lol I hope you get what I mean. I got a renewed taste for your books and now I’m a staving vampire hungry for more. In other words I was fine living without one of your vampire books till I got a taste now all I want is to curl up and read one. As for my book, Harlequin publishing’s have stated their interest in it but I’m yet to hand the whole manuscript to them. I’m still stuck in the synopses. I can't wait to write my paranormal novel 'Jackson Parks' it has a very juicy plot at lest that’s what I think, my literacy teacher likes it too. It has a bigger obstacle for my characters to conquer. He's dead. And I don't mean he's a vampire, he's human or at lest he was. I’m goanna try the paranormal department of Harlequin for that one. Anyway got to go back to work no rest for the wicked, or sleep for that matter. lol talk soon.
Kara.C
Hi Again ~ LOL re your likening your craving for my books to a vampire's craving for blood. As for a synopsis, in my opinion, they're harder to write than the book!!!! Mandy 4/27/10
Hi, Mandy,
I was watching New Moon the other day and I got thinking. Have you ever thought of writing about a Native American who becomes a vampire? I know you turned a reformed wolf into a vampire once but wouldn't it be fun to incorporate the two kinds of men you love? I don't know I just thought you might find that to be a good idea. Oh and I forgot which team are you in Twilight? Jacob or Edward I’ve forgotten...again. (Sheepish grin) I’m still Switzerland and always will be. :) I’m happy that way, same way I love dark and light chocolate it’s the best of both worlds. Anyway I was just taking a brake got to get back to work, yes I’m still worrying despite your pleadings not to, the pressure is high now with seven chps and four days! What’s not to worry about? (Sarcastically nervous laugh) hope you like the idea.
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ I have thought about writing an Indian vampire; unfortunately, I haven't been able to come up with a plot, but you never know what the future holds. As for Jacob vs Edward, I've always preferred vampires to werewolves, except in this case, I'm for Jacob all the way. I just find someone warm and soft to someone hard and cold .
I forgot, who are you writing the book for? Mandy 4/27/10
Hi Mandy
I have fallen in love with your books, both. I love Rafe in Night's Master and I love Jesse in Spirit's Song.
You are truely my favourite author, I love the way you write and really can get lost in your books.
Lynne
Hi Lynne ~ Thank you for your kind words. What can I say? You have wonderful taste in men - Rafe and Jesse - sigh. Mandy 4/25/10
hi, Mandy,
Have you got your copy of NEW MOON yet I got mine yesterday, the extras are great! though I think I’m a disgrace to all Twilight fans, I fell asleep ten minuets into the movie. lol, hope your books going good. last night was my night off but I wish I hadn't cuz I’ve got 8chps to do in 7 days! I’m sorry but I can't help worrying over that! lol, talk soon.
Kara.c
Hi Kara ~ Do I have my copy? Are you kidding. I bought it as soon as it came out! My new book is humming along at the moment. Always a good sign. Best of luck with your chapters! Stop worrying!!!! Mandy 4/22/10
Hi!
My name is Katie! I'm only 16 and I'm in the 11th grade! Therefore, I am in highschool. Our teacher is makeing us do a report over our favorite author and i chose you! I love your books! It would be a big help to me if you could maybe like put a little "about me" paragraph on here that would be alot of help. Im supposed to know where you currently live and about all of the awards you've one what year your first book was published and things like that.
Hi Katie ~ If you email me your questions, I'll be happy to answer them for you.
Mandy 4/22/10
HI MANDY,
MY FIRST AMANDA ASHLEY BOOK WAS EVERLASTING KISS, AND NOW I'M HOOKED!!! YOU ROCK LADY!!!
TAMMY B.
Thanks, Tammy!!!!! Always happy to "meet" a new reader :) Hope you had a wonderful Sabbath. Mandy 4/18/10
Hi Mandy,
I'm a great fan of yours. I'm trying to find out info on Mara from the Night series. Will she have her own book? If so when?
Keep up the great work
Vicki F.
Hi Vicki ~ It's always nice to meet a fan. As, Mara...I may have mentioned before how pleased and surprised I am that everyone wants to know more about her. I had no idea people would find her as fascinating as I do, especially since I never expected her to be more than a minor character. I hope to do her story soon. Mandy 4/15/10
Hi, Mandy,
How is things for you, hope everything is alright, I just thought I’d drop a line and let you know that i stumbled across 'Reckless Embrace' in an old book store, I’ve never read one of your books that your wrote us Madeline Baker. I’m only on the first page but I’m intrigued already. I'm sure I’ll love it by the last page.
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ I'm doing really well, thanks. Working on a new book. I hope you enjoy Reckless Embrace. It's the 4th book in a series. The first book, Reckles Heart, is the first book I ever sold. Have a great weekend. Mandy 4/15/10
Hi Mandy, After the Twilight saga, I was glad to find your Amanda Ashley vampire novels; they are wonderful! My daughter is away at college and I have emailed her about how great your books are, so I'm spreading the word to all of my friends and family. Also, love the Fabio photo :) Sincerely, Shari Kennedy
Hi Shari ~ I'm so glad you're enjoying my books, and happy to hear you're "spreading the word". I'll happily take all the readers I can get.
As for Fabio...oh my! He is such a nice guy. Cute, too!
Do tell your daughter hello for me. Mandy 4/14/10
Hey Mandy just wanted to drop some love and congrats on the audio and new book contracts. I seen the cover for Everlasting Desire. w0ot! w0ot! So excited. xoxo
Thanks, Steven! I love the cover! Mandy 4/12/10
Hi Amanda,
Long time no speak...I am ready to work with you on turning one of your books into a screen play. I am sorry it has been so long since we last spoke. I got married, had a daughter...life happened..but now I am ready to work on it if you are. E-mail me and we can discuss it.
Alexandra

Hi Amanda,
I started reading your books when I was just a teenager. I read everything you written. I can't put them down. Keep the vampires coming. Thank you.

Hi Laura ~ I'm happy to know you're enjoying my books. I sure love writing them, and excited at the prospect of having some of them available as audio books in the next 18 months. Mandy 4/8/10
Greetings!!!!! i like your one book called dead sexy......
do you plan on make a myspace account anytime soon????
Hi ~ I'm glad you liked Dead Sexy. I actually have a MySpace account, but I rarely go there. Mandy 4/8/10
Hi Amanda
I just finished reading Night's Touch. Loved it! In the back of the book was an excerpt from "His Dark Embrace" but I cannot locate the book anywhere and I didnt see it mentioned on your site. Was the name changed? Please let me know because I would love to read it.
Thanks
Marie

Hi Marie ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed Night's Touch. As for "His Dark Embrace", the title was changed to "Dead Perfect". Mandy 4/7/10
HI AMANDA! I have started reading your books Im a big vampire fanatic! i have am now reading "Dead Perfect" and i love it I have also read "Everlasting Kiss" I love them. I also love Anne Rice but some times she drags out to much but i have read all of hers. "Dead Perfect" is so sad about Shannah I hope she dose let Ronan turn her. Keep up the good work and keep the vampires coming
Hi ~ I'm glad to know you're enjoying my books. I love writing them, of course. I read the first 5 or 6 of Anne Rice's books, and thought they were really good. I love Lestat. Mandy 4/7/10
Hi Amanda, Your books are the absolute best! I've read them all! I've been waiting for Mara's story to come out. Any idea of when that might happen? I didnt miss it, did I? I just reread all the night books, and really anxious to find out more about mara. Thank you so much!!
Hi ~ I'm still wrestling with Mara's book. I haven't turned it in yet, so I can't say when it will be published. I continue to be amazed at how popular she is! Originally, she was just going to be a minor character in one book! Mandy 4/7/10
I finished Heart of the Hunter. It broke my heart into a million pieces. I still have tears in my eyes while writing this. Do you have anymore westerns in the making? Sharon
Hi Sharon ~ The last new western I wrote is Shadows Through Time, which is available as an eBook from Cerridwen Press. It will be out later this year as a paperback. At the moment, I don't have a publisher for any more westerns; however, I do have a number of older ones, which are listed under the heading Baker Books, at the top of the page. Leisure Books is reissuing several of my older titles.Mandy 4/6/10
Dear Mandy
My name is Ginny, and I just wanted to say your books inspired me to read. I have a learning disability, and stopped reading to save from embarressing myself. Then one day my tutor brought one of your books over my mom read it to me when I asked to borrow it. Your books have giving me the courage to try my hardest to be a better student. I've been getting lots of A's in my classes ever since your book Shades of Gray. Thank you Mandy.
Your Fan,
Ginny
Hi Ginny ~ thank you so much for sharing your story. It brought tears to my eyes. I'm so happy to know that my books have helped you. Keep trying and I know you can accomplish anything you desire. Mandy 4/5/10 PS Tell your Mom hello for me.
Hey Mandy, it's Steven. Check out my blog when you get a chance. Look at the pic at the top of the screen. :) Also McDonald's is doing Star Wars themed toys. I have the Darth Vader & Yoda. I am such a Star Wars nerd. Best wishes.
xoxo
Hi from one Star Wars nerd to another. I also have Darth Vader and Yoda from McDonald's. Also Anakin. Am off to check your blog.
Mandy 3/26/10
Wow. I am a 33 year old Twilight Fan and I was starting to think that I would not find a book that would even compare with Edward and Bella. Well, I now put Analisa and Alesandro in that same category. I just finished reading Midnight Embrace. I loved it. It is wonderful. Thank you so much for writing something so beautiful. Well I am in a rush to check out your website. Will I find more of Analisa and Alesandro?
Jessica Baker
Hi Jessica ~ For me, there are few compliments better than being compared to Twilight :)
I'm delighted to know you enjoyed Midnight Embrace. I'm sorry to say, that's the only book to feature Analisa and Alesandro, at least at the moment. I hope you'll enjoy my other books as much. Mandy 3/26/10
Mandy,
Thanks for the replay but I meant when it was a published book. :) hoping that comes about,
Kara.C
LOL, Kara. Of course I'll buy it
Mandy 3/24/10
Hi
Love the Night Series,reading Shades of Gray now, thank you so much. Please keep writing. Waiting for Maras story, know it will be awesome!!
Hi ~ Thanks for your kind words. I'm happy to know you're enjoying my books! I'm amazed that so many people are looking forward to Mara's story. I certainly hope I can deliver a story equal to their expectations! Mandy 3/24/10
Mandy, I finally got my own laptop! Now I can work! Can you remember a time (If ever there was one) when you couldn't write when you wanted too? At lest now I don't have to get up at dawn and walk the ten miles down the mountain to get a few hours of work in at the library. Now I can finally finish my book, I hope you'll want to read it when it’s done? Anyway I just wanted to tell someone. Thanks
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ Congrats on the laptop. I can't think of a time that I couldn't write when I wanted to. When I first started writing, I wrote it in long hand and typed it on a typewriter. Computers have made writing MUCH EASIER AND FASTER. As for reading your work, I'm sorry, but I don't read unpublished manuscripts. But, best of luck with your story. Mandy 3/22/10
I can't wait to read Mara's story! Thank you!!!!
I am reading Heart of the Hunter. I just love it when you return to your western roots.
Also love that you used Mastiffs in your story... We have 3. and Yes I am crazy . I sent you a message to share them... :)
Mandy just finished Everlasting Kiss I LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!!! I finally took the past 2 days to read again and so glad I got the time. And I cannot wait for Rhys story now.. Thank you for giving us these vamps to love. bless you Mandy . Tiffany
Hi Tiffany ~ I'm assuming all the comments above are yours. I'm glad you're enjoying Heart of the Hunter. I didn't even know it was out!
Thanks for letting me know. Mandy 3/22/10
Yes 'tis mwah! I tried to leave my signature but it cut me off. So I left a waaaaaaaaay shorter comment and it still cut me off. It's not liking me today- xoxo
Hmm it cut me off. I think that's a sign I talk too much? LMAO!
Hey Mandy! Crapity, crap, crap, crap. LOL! Sorry I don't know what my blog's issue is doing that to you. We've talked since then so I am sorry for the inconvenience. Anyways I wanted to give you a heads up. I will be posting your interview on March 18. I did add the comment option so guests can leave a message for you or ask you questions as well. Thank you again for the opportunity. I also will be finishing the medallion piece this week and hope to be sending it to you asap. I've been procrastinating with all the reviews and interviews I've been doing. So sorry, forgive me.
Steven, is that you? Long time no see. Great news on the interview. Mandy 3/15/10
Hi, Mandy
Just reading your comments on the side of your page about how your son said that he didn't want to hear one of your love scenes. I have something similar to that. My older Mark once picked up a romance scene in my book (my first love scene I’d ever written actually) after reading it he was wide eyes and in shock. He said 'I can't believe my little sister wrote that!' then he mumbled something about a cold shower and walked off. It was the oddest complements I’ve gotten. He’s never read a thing of mine since though. It was actually a tamed scene compare to what I write now (having learnt to develop my scenes) so I guess it's better he doesn’t read my work anymore. Hope this makes you smile, your story made me smile and I need one today, Thanks.
Kara.C
Cute story, Kara. Thanks for sharing. Mandy 3/16/10
Amanda, I only recently found your work after reading on of your short stories. I LOVE all the vampire stories but you definatly need to do a follow up an Cagin and Susie from Night's Master.
Rachael
Hi Rachael ~ I never thought of doing a book on Cagin and Susie. I'll have to mull it over and see what I can come up with. Mandy 3/15/10
Hi Mandy)
I am really happy that I had come across your books. They are sooo good. I love them. Honestly, there are some of your books I can’t find it. Which is upsets me, but I am looking forward for your new upcoming books. I really can’t pick which one is my favorite. I think you should bribe your MUSE with chocolates, nice romantic candle lighted nights and don’t forget about men, that seems to bring back Muses from they vacation)))) can’t wait to read Mara’s story. Write, write and write. You are the best. Love you!!! Your number 1 Russian Fan.
Albina
Hi Albina ~ How nice to hear from you! I don't think I've ever heard from anyone in Russia before. I'm so glad you're enjoying my books. Chocolates, candles and men (will have to be man - I'm married) Sounds like good advice :) Mandy 3/12/10
Mandy,
Have you heard the Eclipse trailer is out now! I’ve seen it it's only short but it looks fantastic, though I hate it as now I want to see it and I still have to wait. :( Anyway thought you'd like to know as it wasn't up on your page yet, you usually tell me when knew Twilight things happen, when I look at your website. Allwell. :)
Kara.C
Hey Kara ~ Yes, I've seen the trailer and it's awesome. Thanks for reminding me I needed to post it on my site. It's now on the front page. Can't wait for the movie!!! Mandy 3/11/10
Hi I'm actually a new reader for Amanda Ashley I just read the book Immortal Sins and I just loved it I just couldn't put it down I wish I could afford to buy it but I can't I had checked it out of the library and I didn't want to take it back but I had to so again I loved the book
Miranda Glaser in Osage IA
Hi Miranda ~ email me and include the above message. Mandy 3/11/10
Mandy,
Thanks that does help a bit, be the characters not me, they are defiantly happier than I am right now, thanks. By the way I’ve per-ordered 'everlasting kiss' here can't wait to read it will let you know what I think when I have, thank again
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ glad to be of help! Hope you enjoy Everlasting Kiss! Mandy 3/10/10
Hi, Thanks so much Mandy I honestly can't wait, do you mind if I ask a Q? Assuming you have your HEA did you start writing b4 your HEA or after and if b4 how did you sell your Book HEA when your (hypothetically) was such a miserable mess? As I’m in that very position and am finding it increasingly hard to write believable HEAs no matter how hard I try. Perhaps its customary that the writer won't feel the HEA as strongly as when she reads others? Sarah Morgan (harlequin Romance writer) told me to just 'write even a little bit each day' 'I think you just have to do your best, keep writing and when your mood lifts a bit then revise what you've done. Or take a break.' but I’ve tried it all I just think I’m to depressing for Romance writing (though Goss I hope not as writing is my life) hope you understand and can help some way.
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ I'm sorry you're having trouble with your writing. When I'm not in the mood to write, I go do something else. But when I'm writing, I'm no longer me, I'm the characters on the page. Granted, there are times when my mood seeps into my work. I was mad at my husband when I wrote some of the scenes in Comanche Flame and I think my poor hero suffered because of it . But, generally, when I'm writing, I escape into the story and leave my own feelings behind. Mandy 3/8/10
I loved averlasting Kiss and can't wait till Everlasting Desire i love the Rhys and can't wait to read his story. I was wondering when Mira's Story will be out?
Maria
Hi Maria ~ So glad you enjoyed Everlasting Kiss. I loved Rhys and I'm so glad others are anxious to read about him in Everlasting Desire. As for Mara's story...I'm hoping it will be out sometime next year. Mandy 3/8/10
I'm new to reading your books. Are these all series books or do are the stand-alone books? Any recommendations on what order I should read your books? I am a total fan of reading series books in the correct order. I am so excited! I have not liked any vampire romance writer since Lynsay Sands and am so eager to read your books. I'm headed to Borders as soon as I get feedback! Thank you so much!!!
Hi ~ It's always a treat to meet a new reader. Most of my books are stand-alone stories, but I do have two series going - and one on the way. They are:
Night's Kiss, Night's Touch, Night's Master, and Night's Pleasure.
Shades of Gray, After Sundown, and Desire After Dark.
My October book, Everlasting Desire, will be a sequel to my current book, Everlasting Kiss.
Hope this helps! Mandy 3/7/10
Mandy- I got the books I won in the contest in the mail today. Thanks a lot. I will read soon and let you know how I like them
Joy
Hi Joy ~ thanks for letting me know you received the books. Hope you like them! Mandy 3/7/10
Kara ~ Received this from my editor this morning: "EVERLASTING KISS will be available in Australia this May. Your fans there won’t have to wait much longer!" Mandy 3/2/10
Mandy,
"Books are released in Australia or not. I hope they are!"
...So do I! (Fingers crossed)
And I’m sorry to hear your Muse is on vacation I hope it comes back soon. :)
Kara.C
Kara ~ I emailed my editor and she said my books are released in Australia and she would look into the matter. As for my Muse, she's still missing in action..... Mandy 3/1/10
Hi Mandy! Do you have any Idea when Mara's story is going to be finished? Or the other one that you didn't pick a title for yet? (Rohan and wife)sequel to Dead Perfect?
If all goes as planned, Mara's story should be out sometime next year. As for the sequel to Dead Perfect...it's sort of on hold at the moment. My Muse seems to have left town :( Mandy 2/26/10
I love the way you have connected the family in the Night Series!!!

Bev
Thanks, Bev!!!!! Mandy 2/26/10
Hi, Mandy
Is Everlasting kiss going to be released in Australia? And if yes any idea when? I’m going crazy not being able to read any of my fav author’s books, the only way I can seem to get them is if they come out in stores as new releases but that doesn’t seem to happen much despite how popular you are.
signed ‘lacking a good love story’,
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ I forwarded your question to my editor. I don't know if my books are released in Australia or not. I hope they are! Mandy 2/26/10
Hey Mandy. I've been busy reading like crazy. I wanted to take a break and drop some love on your page. If you haven't seen Daybreaker's yet you realllllly need to. I was expecting it to be a bloody vampire movie. However I was pleasantly surprised it took on a more scientific approach to survival of both humans and vampires alike. It was pretty interesting. Anyways I hope all is going well for you I seen that you're having some writer's block. :( Hope that demon gets off your shoulders soon so you can do what you do best.
xoxo
Steven
Hi Steven ~ I hope you read this. I got your email about being a guest on your blog, but when I tried to reply, I got an error message and the email wouldn't go thru. Writer's block prevails! I haven't done any real writing in weeks. Starting to get worried!!!!! Mandy 2/26/10
Hi Mandy! I am in the middle of reading Everlasing Kiss and I love it, as I do all your books. For me, you are one of the authors that I do not even need to read the back summary of your books to know it will be excellent.
I read on your news page about getting 4 books reissued, and I agree with you in the hopes that it is the Reckless series. It was this first series that I borrowed from my local library about 6+ years ago that got me hooked and awed by your books and really got me into reading, which I was not really into at the time. I would LOVE to own these books. They are worth reading over and over. Thank you for the joy of reading! Tamilynn
Hi Tamilynn ~ So glad you're enjoying Everlasting Kiss. I'm also delighted that it's been on the USA Today list for the last 4 weeks. I couldn't do it without you.
I haven't heard anything about which books are being reissued. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Reckless books! Happy to know they got you reading!
Have a great weekend. Mandy 2/26/10
Hello Mandy my son Steven Foley is reding some of your books I have been really faithful to reading Cassie Edwards and Steven told me you write Native American looks like I am going to start looking for your books now. Thank you Joyce Singing Dove
Hi Joyce ~ It's nice to "meet" you.
I've loved the Old West ever since I was a little girl. When we played cowboys and Indians, I was always an Indian, so when I started writing, my heroes were either all or half Native American. My other love is vampires. I'm trying to find a way to put the two together I'm happy to say that Leisure is reissuing some of my older westerns. Mandy 2/18/10
Hi Mandy,
Hope you have a lovely romantic day with your true love…hope you geat all the gifts you want… :)
Happy Valentine’s Day! :)
Kara.C
Thanks, Kara. Right back at ya!
Mandy 2/11/10
Hi Mandy! Just wanted to say that Everlasting Kiss is now available as an ebook. I am from Maryland and as you may know we have had 2 devastating blizzards in 1 week.Going anywhere is not an option, so being snowed in with one of your books is perfect!! I've loved all your vampire books and always look forward to the next! Thank you Nook! I can get what I want and not even leave the house. Darlene
Hi Darlene ~ You guys are really getting hit hard back there, all that snow and ice and they're still blaming global warming! So glad you're enjoying Everlasting Kiss. Mandy 2/10/10
Hi, Just finished Deeper Than the Night and I loved it couldn't put it down. I am currently searching for more of your books. I am just recently getting back into reading since i lost my job and have plenty of time on my hands. Your book was a fast flowing, get to the point and I love that. I look forward to finding more of your books.
Hi ~ So glad you enjoyed DEEPER THAN THE NIGHT. My editor said something similar about the book I just turned in, that I said what I meant and didn't use a lot of words to say it. She likes that, too. I hope you'll enjoy any of my other books you might read. Let me know! Mandy 2/10/10
WHY DO YOU REVIEW YOUR OWN STUFF ON AMAZON, AND GIVE IT A FIVE-STAR RATING?
What? I've never done that. I've never left a review on Amazon for anyone. Mandy 2/7/10
Hi! Will Everlasting Kiss be available as an ebook for Nook?
Hi ~ I have no idea. That decision is up to my publisher. Mandy 2/7/10

Hey Mandy. Just finished my review for Everlasting Kiss. It's up on my blog as we speak. So sorry about the rain, we're due for 10-15'' of snow. I'll trade you for wet ground over frozen. We have about 2-3'' now. :( Excited for the continuation of Rhys's story.
xoxo
Steven ~ LOVED YOUR REVIEW! Thanks bunches!!!!! (You can read his review here ) Mandy 1/29/10
I see you have very good taste in vampires. You have Mick St. John on your page. I'd like to see more of him but, if not, I might find some relief reading your books. Some Moonlight fans recommended them to me.
I hope you'll enjoy my books. My thanks to the Moonlight fans who recommended my books. As for Mick, I still miss him and Moonlight. Mandy 1/27/10
Peanut Butter & Milk Chocolate Chip. I guess I got it half right, eh?! LOL! I'm loving it. I am halfway finished and I only got it Monday. That sucks about the rain. It was cold here today but "nice." So our friend who owns a bookstore/cafe took us out to lunch and a free book as well. I was in need of a 2010 organizer...to keep track of all these great books from a certain Ms. Thang! :)
xoxo
-Steven
The rain has finally gone away! I think it's going to take days, maybe weeks, for our grass to dry out!!!!! Glad you like the book. Mandy 1/27/10
Just found your books and can't wait to read them. Just wanted to know what order I should read them in. I hate it when I start a series and find out that i did it out of order. I am going for the vamp novels. Thanks and I will write back when I have read some.
Hi ~ I have two series: Night's Kiss, Night's Touch, Night's Master and Night's Pleasure. The other connected books are Shades of Gray, After Sundown, and Desire After Dark. The rest are all stand alone books. Hope this helps! Mandy 1/27/10
Dear Amanda,
I recieved your package today. WOW! Thanks for everything. So awesome that you autographed them all as well. I have been held up in my room all day reading Everlasting Kiss. I just took a break to make me some cookies and enjoy some good ole vampire romance. :) I like how you snuck in "Madeline Baker" as if I'm not hooked enough on your books already.
xoxo
-Steven
Hi Steven ~ I hope you're enjoying Everlasting Kiss! What kind of cookies did you make? My fav are chocolate chip! More rain on the way here.
Mandy 1/26/10

Hi Yaima ~ So glad you enjoyed my books. Hope you love "Everlasting Kiss". I do! The sequel will be out in October. I'm writing as fast as I can Have a great day. Mandy 1/25/10

Hi Sue ~ So nice to know you're enjoying my Westerns. I hope you're having a wonderful Sabbath. Mandy 1/24/10
Amanda, I haven't read your books yet but have read several by Madeline Baker. I love reading about the Indians and have learned a lot about them and their belief's. Will have to read one of your books soon. I just recently started reading Paranormal Romance.
Hi ~ I miss writing my westerns. Maybe I'll get back to it one of these days, if I can find a publisher. My latest book, Everlasting Kiss, will be out in a few days. Mandy 1/23/10
do your books need to be read in published order?
Most of them are stand alone books, except for Night's Kiss, Night's Touch, Night's Master, and Night's Pleasure, which are a series written in that order.
Shades of Gray, After Sundown, and Desire After Dark are also connected books.
Hope this helps! Mandy 1/19/10
Have a great new year Mandy, with tons of wonderful blessings, Dena
Thanks, Dena! Right back at ya!

Hi Steven ~ thanks for your great review. If you email me your snail mail addy, I'll send you an ARC for Everlasting Kiss. I'm adding your link to my page. Best, Mandy 1/12/10
Dear Amanda,
Since Twilight has ended, I've been at a loss for a great vampire saga to escape reality. I've never heard of you until yesterday when my Mom came home and said she got me a new vampire book to read, Immortal Sins. While it isn't a saga, it's not even been a full 24 hours and I am already more than halfway finished with the book. I was hesitant at first, being fearful it was another Harlequin romance novel-type. Thankfully I was wrong, and glad I was brave enough to give it a shot. I am excited to obtain the other vampire books in your collection. I quickly browsed your site and I have to say you're my new favorite author. I recently began reviewing new books for companies and Immortal Sins, will be my next blog addition. I have so much more to say but I will add that to my blog and save room for your other fans. :P
-Steven
P.S. I seen your favorite vampire reads. If you can find a book titled "Sins of the Blood" by Kristin Kathryn Rusch, which is what caused my vampire obsession, I do believe you will enjoy it.
Hi Steven ~ Thank you for your comments. I'm delighted to be your new favorite author. And please thank your Mom for finding me a new reader!!!! While I don't write sagas, I do have a 4 book series (Night's Kiss, Night's Touch, Night's Master and Night's Pleasure). A 5th book, Night's Mistress, is a distinct possibility. I would love to read your review of my book. Also, next time you stop by, please leave a link to your blog so we can check it out. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to see if I can find it. Mandy 1/9/10
Amanda, Sorry did not scroll down to see if the book was there thanks can't wait until it's out....Dee
Hi Dee ~ no problem Mandy 1/8/10

Hi, Mandy,
I've just read your Masquerade short story in After Twilight I think (needless to say) it was very nice and I mean nice in the highest regard. I totally wasn't expecting the ending to turn out as it did, I was shocked and a little confused it was great!
Hope you have a great New Years Eve and hope it continues on through out the year. :)
Kara.C
Hi Kara ~ Glad you enjoyed Masquerade, but sorry the ending confused you. We're having our annual Star Wars New Year' Eve party. Should be fun...pizza and Star Wars movies til midnight! Happy New Year one and all. Mandy 12/30/09
Hi, Just wanted say that i relly like your books. The story line is always great and the characters as well. I was just wondering why the love scenes are down played?
Hi ~ I'm glad you enjoy my books. As for the love scenes, I write what I like to read and I don't care for graphic love scenes, and also because I know I have pre-teen readers. Happy New Year to you and your family. Mandy 12/28/09

Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed Immortal Sins. I'd love to be able to take credit for the idea of the man stuck in the painting, but, alas, I can't. A friend of mine had the original idea and I took it and ran with it. Mandy 12/13/009 Mandy
MERRY CHRISTMAS Mandy!
Hope you have a magical fun time and best wishes for the New Year!

Mandy 12/13/09
Mandy, I just checked my e-mail and found out that I won your October contest yay! I hope I am not too late in responding, I was ill will appendicitis of all things and have been out of the loop. Hope your holiday season is a great one. Cheers! Dana (lilmissd)
Hi ~ Glad you're feeling better. Your book is in the mail. Mandy
Mandy,
I got to their HEA and wow! Is all I can say, very sweet!And I like her asking him to turn her; it’s what I would choose. Waiting to die and loose him forever is likening waiting for the other boot to fall, and it can be very painful. I’d rather eternity with him than countless new lives without him. Trust me I know, it hurt like hellfire.
Love your books
Kara.C
Thanks, Kara! Mandy
Hello Mandy! I got myself an early Christmas present. Your book Night's Pleasure. I wanted to get my hands on that book for so long I couldn't possibly wait any longer. If I finish it I'll wrap it neatly and just lay it under the tree. Who's to notice I read it already? Take care, Kirsten
Hi Kirsten ~ I always buy myself a Christmas present! Sometimes 2 or 3. This year, I bought myself a Jim Shore "Beauty and the Beast" figurine. Hope you enjoy the book and have a wonderful Christmas. Mandy 12/8/09
Sorry about the d, it was obviously supposed to be a N,lol.
Have a wonderful holiday Maddy, hope it's filled with lots of love, laughter, and celebrations, Dena
LOL, Dena. I hope you, too, will have a wonderful Christmas. Mandy 12/8/09
Mandy,
LOL! thanks anyway, and man it must be nice not to have to write one I’m really pulling out my hair over it, I’m afraid it'll ruin the book before they even read it.
Thanks for everything, p.s :( I’m not liking Alesandro right now, I can't believe he left her! Hanging on for their HEA - happily ever after.
kara.C
Hi Kara ~ Hang in there. You know there's HEA on the way! Mandy 12/8/09
