So... Life just keeps happening. You know what I mean? I intended to have published Snow White, Rose Red by now. I intended to have gotten a handle on several other stories including the sequel to These Lying Eyes --it's currently titled This Betraying Flesh. I intended to make the tots clothes fit into their dressers.… Continue reading Updates…

This is how it all went down. . . and cover reveal.
Perhaps you may have noticed that Song of Sorrow (my novella that is a prequel to Rapunzel) was published on Friday. Here's the cover, because I love it. Luuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeee it, if you will.

Who is this now?
Oh that's right me. I'm pretty sure I'm writing this. . . Life. Life. You know? Life. So for quick, emotionless updates. On being a foster parent: it's hard. On being a daughter: it sucks to have my parents across the country. On being a mommy: awesome. Conflicting I know. But that's how you know… Continue reading Who is this now?

My good friend formatted it.… Continue reading Now Available: These Lying Eyes by Amanda A. Allen
My strange flaw.
I have something called stubby thumbs. I didn't even know it had a real name, but it's genetic. My niece has it, and her boyfriend diagnosed us both. My aunt has it too. So Zac and David, should you ever have a daughter, she'll certainly be adorable. Except for her thumbs. Turns out Megan Fox… Continue reading My strange flaw.
The Crazy Train
Here's the thing about the mass, mound, bunch, lot, assemblage, mess, pack, and swarm of crazy ruling my life. It's too much. It's just too much. Somehow I haven't yet collapsed. My mom and I have a no break-downs pact. Here's what I have going: 1) My FiestyPants and BoyBlue are being transitioned home to… Continue reading The Crazy Train
Sacrilege…
I'm going to start by saying that I know this is stupid to say. But truthfully, I'm kinda getting bored with Huck's adventures. I think it's partially that I'm just really tired right now. Plus if there were ever a novel about foster parenting this is it. And I'm kind of emotionally exhausted, so maybe… Continue reading Sacrilege…
Tom Sawyer Review! Editor update!
Have you ever read a book that seemed to delve right into your childhood self? Man, Tom Sawyer does that for me. Especially the pieces where the kids get in trouble and imagine dying for the revenge of their death on their parents. I used to do that. What a little brat I was. My brothers… Continue reading Tom Sawyer Review! Editor update!
