Updates…

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.…

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.   When I was on vacation at the end of November, I decided to cram in a round of NaNo.  That's right,…

Hey! It’s your lucky day.

My book is on sale!   For one day only you can get it for $0.99.  After that it raises in price until it's back to normal.  You should buy it.  Maybe for all of your friends.   Have a good one. ~Amanda

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…

It’s your lucky day!

Been hemming and hawing over buying my book?  Know someone who'd like it?  Today's a lucky day then.  It's free until midnight pacific.  You can find it HERE.   Happy Friday the 13th! ~Amanda

Now Available: These Lying Eyes by Amanda A. Allen

Wait! That's me. That's my book. Me, it's me.  It's me.  I wrote a book.  Like for realzies.  I wrote it.  I re-wrote it approximately 7004 times.  I even paid an editor and rewrote it a time or two after that.  I had it grammar checked.  I rewrote it again.  My good friend formatted it.…

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…

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…

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…

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…
