Coming Sooooooonnnnnn…….

Remember How I Said I Got Slammed By A New Story?

You know.  I was happily writing This Betraying Flesh.  Got stuck.  Accidentally wrote a novel, a novella (soon to be novel), a novella, an novella, and plotted out a whole series?  You know those slutty little ideas that steal into your mind when you're SUPPOSED to be writing This Betraying Flesh which you've been fighting with for…

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…

You know what’s unhealthy?

Being able to publish a book and then watch your sales numbers every second of every day.  I'm just saying...not healthy. Not healthy at all. Rather like these things: *These are just random unhealthy food pictures I've had in the history of my blog.  You know what else is unhealthy?  Not having one picture of…

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…

Oh, did you want to see my book cover?

Tee hee. I might love it a little bit. So, did you?  Did you want to see it? * * * * * Ok, maybe it's time to stop teasing you.  After all I don't want to make you irritated.  To make you think, this stupid girl, I don't want to read her dumb book.  That would…

Another Top 10

Yesterday I wrote about the Top 10 books I would have loved as a child.  Today, I'll give you the Top 10 books that warped my imagination as a child.  These are the ones that I find still color which stories I enjoy, what I'm more likely to read.  These are the ones I remember…

This is my 100th post.

What the front door?~! There should be bells and whistles.  And chocolate and Dr. Pepper.  I'll take care of the last two for me. You're on your own. But here's an image to get you on your way. In honor of this post, I thought I'd ignore the whole foster parenting doo-dah and give my own book…

What do you find scary?

I've been thinking about this for a while.  Not actually scary--like public speaking or death or heights or what not.  But fictional scary.  Silence of the Lambs, ghost stories around the camp fire.Scary to me?  That part of Signs with Mel Gibson when the alien's fingers curl up from under the pantry door.  The piece of The…
