Here's how to keep all that political "news" in perspective... Demographics of American Newspapers:

1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country

2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.

3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country and who are very good at crossword puzzles

4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand The New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts.

5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country -- if they could find the time -- and if they didn't have to leave Southern California to do it.

6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and did a poor job of it, thank you very much.

7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country and don't really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.

8 The New York Post is read by people who don't care who is running the country as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.

9. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running (from) another country but need the baseball scores.

10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure if there is a country or that anyone is running it, but if so, they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority feminist atheist gay dwarfs who also happen to be illegal aliens from any other country or galaxy, provided of course, that they are not Republicans.

11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.

12. The Seattle Times and Nashville Tennessean are read by people who have recently caught a fish and need something to wrap it in.

Questions and Comments

Hi Mandy! I LOVE Night's Master, just finished it last night. I think my favorite part was it being told partly from Kathy's point of view. You don't just read the story, with the "I" factor you feel part of it.....rrrrrrrrrowr! :) I was happy to see Roshan and Brenna back and Mara is awesome. I like her. Counting the days until your next release! Warmest regards, Sue

Hey, jusy wanted to saay that i'm a huge fan and trying to write a book. ( he he i stole your characters from After Sundown, they fit well in to the story) ihope you dont mind.

If you're writing fan fiction, I don't mind. If you plan to sell your work, you should be advised that my books are copyrighted, and using my characters is a violation of that copyright, punishable under the law. Mandy 10/6/08

I was wondering if you could tell me who the cover model is on Nights Touch. I have seen him on the cover of other books as well, but can't seem to find his name. I had someone ask who my fav. cover model is, and he is sexy.

Hi ~ I have no idea who the model is. He reminds me of Mick from Moonlight...how I miss that show! Mandy 9/28/08

I love the Twilight Books...and I am totally for Jacob!!!! Which was werid for me too because I alwyas go for the vampires. But, I am a werwolf fan now. smiles* Any body watching the show TrueBlood on HBO???? Its soooo good. (except for the names...kind of different.) Sena stargazerart.com

Hi Sena ~ Yeah, it's Jacob for me, too. I would have chosen him over Edward in a heartbeat. I watched the first few minutes of True Blood and turned it off. Three F words in a row is too much for me. I don't remember that kind of language in the books. I don't know, maybe I blocked it out. Mandy

Hi, I was reading the comments and saw the one about the Twilight series. I read all of them. I also liked Jacob better. I have to agree that the whole stone and ice cold part of Edward really turned me off. Most likely thats because I have read all of your books and love the way you portray your vampires. *Watching* the shelves for your next book. KC

Hi KC ~ Nice to know I'm not the only one who liked Jacob better :) I really think Jacob loved Bella more than Edward. Hope you'll enjoy my upcoming books - Night's Master and Night's Pleasure, coming in October and February. Mandy 9/20/08

Hello, I just wanted to say that I am a new reader of yours :]. I'm a huge fan of vampire romance and paranormal romance novels. A close friend of mine recommended your novel "Dead Perfect" to me. I am only currently at chapter nine, but you are an amazing author!. Your characters are so real, and the plot, the novel is a world I just get lost in. I haven't been able to put it down since I bought your book!!. As many fans, I hope you do write a sequel to "Dead Perfect" for I can tell now there is only more to come. I cannot wait to read and collect the rest of your novels. I'm an avid reader and I'm also a writer as well. I must say that Ranon and Shannah relationship is similar to the relationship I'm currently in. I've been thinking of months of how to start writing a vampire romance novel myself, even though I haven't taken any writing courses, I've always had a passion to write at least one good novel. Is there any advice you can give to a young writer? Or something that can help me start off, given how I don't know how you came to write amazingly beautiful novels!!. I can't read for what comes next!! There is no book out there like yours, yours are one of a kind and a perfect world to get lost in. Thank you very muchh!!! -Traci

Hi Traci ~ I'm happy to know you're enjoying Dead Perfect. It was a fun book to write. As for writing for your own book, the best advice is to write what you love to read. There are many books in the library on how to write a romance and get it published that can give you far better info that I can.
Best of luck to you! Mandy 9/16/08


I'm leaving for Colorado at the end of this month, and was planning of taking a good book with me for the plane ride. I was just wondering if any of your historicals (non-vampire) take place in Colorado? Sharon

Hi Sharon ~ Lucky you. Colorado is beautiful. We went there on vacation many years ago and I fell in love with the place. LAKOTA RENEGADE and HAWK'S WOMAN are set in Colorado. I hope you have a wonderful time. Mandy 9/16/08

Thank you! Your books sound excellent! They are for sure on my list now :) Thank you! tatertot374@sbcglobal.net

I hope you enjoy them! Mandy 9/16/08

Ive read many of your books through the years and loved them all.Nobody writes a better vampire book.Kathy

Hi Kathy. Thank you for the lovely compliment. I'm happy to know you've enjoyed my books. I think the next two - Night's Master and Night's Pleasure - and the one I'm working on now, are three of the best I've ever done. Mandy 9/2/08

I have read a couple of your books, but that was many years ago. Need to look at some of your newer ones! clynsgatyahoo.com

Hi ~ I hope you enjoy the new ones as much as the old ones!!!! Mandy 9/2/08

I am entering your contest in hopes that I will win your book. I am always searching for good books to read.

Good luck!!!! Mandy 9/2/08

I haven't had the priviledge to read any of your books yet, but I plan to very soon...they look delicious! :) amentschick@gmail.com

I hope you find them delicious!!!! Mandy 9/1/08

Hi i was wondering if you have read the Twilight saga? I love your book Night's Kiss. CJ

Hi ~ I'm reading the last book now. I've enjoyed the series very much, although I have to say, I love Jacob more than Edward....sorry!
I can't believe it, either, since I love vampires, but the way she describes vampires...sorry, not for me. I'd rather have someone warm and more human. Hugging something that feels like stone and has icy lips just turns me off. I know I'm in the minority, and that's not to say I don't love Edward, too, but given a choice, I'll take Jacob. Mandy 9/1/08


Hi I just wanted to say that I had never read any of your books before "Dead Perfect" and can I just say that is exactly what the book was dead perfect I could relate to shannah in many ways especially since she is so ill as am I and her doctors did't know what was wrong ,neither do mine and it just gave me an escape from my world around me that isn't always so nice!And I need to know if you are going to contine with a follow up to dead perfect you can't just leave me hanging and not tell me if Jim Hewitt died or carried on as a vampire and if Ronan (Oh my god I love him) and shannah stay together in that house are they hunted anymore I have so many questions about that story I need a sequel and I think everyone will agree a lil more Ronan in our lives would be ok!!!Thanks so much for writing and sharing with the world your amazing books!!!

Forgot to put my name!! I also wanted to add, that of the books I have read so far (all out of order of course haha) I am Loving your talent! They are so different from all other romance books out there. Thank you so much!!! Jenifer

Hi Jenifer ~ I'm happy to know you enjoyed Dead Perfect. I loved writing it. At the moment, I don't have any plans for a sequel, but several readers have asked for one, so I may see if I can come up with a plot. Of course, Ronan and Shannah stayed together :) As for Hewitt, I guess I'll have to write a sequel to find out! Mandy 8/26/08

Hello Amanda! I just started Dead Perfect. So far I am Loving it! It is really hard to fond all of your books. I am in Canada, and the main bookstore here only carries maybe 5 or 6, where else can I find them?

Hi. Happy to know you're enjoying Dead Perfect, and sorry to hear you're having trouble finding my books. You can order them directly from my publishers - www.dorchesterpub.com or www.kensingtonbooks.com In the States you can ask your bookstore to order books for you. If you can do that in Canada, it will save you postage and you can pick the books up at your local bookstore. I hope this helps. Mandy 8/26/08

Hi, I just loved your story "The Music of the Night" in The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance. I loved the Phantom of the Opera backstory as Erik's story, I just wished that it could have been a full length novel. I loved it so much that I read it twice! It's truly an awesome love story. Thank you! You are my favorite writer! Can't wait for your next book. An avid fan, Sharon

P.S. I loved the twist you put on the phantom... Stargazer Sena

WOW! I totlly agree with Janean, Music of the Night in the Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance was GREAT!!!!! But not near long enough...sigh. That really needs to be a full length novel. I wish the whole Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance had just been that story! smiles* Loved it! Stargazer Sena

Hi Sena ~ so glad you enjoyed my story in the Mammoth Book. Saying you wish the whole book had been my story certainly made my day! Thank you. Another reader asked me to make it a full length book. Anyway, I'm so glad you liked it! Mandy 8/20/08

Can't say that I have read any of your books before but I am always looking for something else to read...looking forward to reading some of your books.

Well, I'm wrting in respones to my previous letter. I was reading Dead Perfect and once you started describing Ronan I got this picture into my head. You have to seriously look at that. Tom Welling makes the perfect Ronan! ~Mary

Mary, that's a great photo! Too bad I don't have any pull with Mr. Welling!!!! Mandy 8/9/08

jeeez... my sister kept bugging me to read Dead Perfect and so I decided to give it a try. I wasn't sure I would like the book because I'm after all, only sixteen and didn't fancy vampire books too much. But once I have started, I couldn't stop. I'm nearly done with the book and I've only started yesterday night! (8-8-08) I love Ronan. The way you describe him gets me weak all over. Now, my question is, how do we, as the readers, know if you're really not just a lady pretending to be Amanda Ashley for a wicked awesome and hot Vampire? Also, I think if this book was made into a movie, Tom Welling would make a perfect Vampire!!!

Well, you found me out! I'm really a vampire pretending to be Amanda Ashley. Please don't tell anyone Mandy 8/9/08

Hi Amanda~ I was just looking at Nights Kiss's cover and ...#$%^ that guy looks like he is looking into your soul! HOT! Great Cover. Stargazer sena

Hi Sena ~ glad you like the cover! He does have great eyes, doesn't he? Mandy 8/7/08

Mandy, Just read "The Music of the Night" in The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance and all I can say is WOW!!! You did something with this book that no one has ever done before and as a reader I have been wanting this very much!! Don't want to say what and give the book away but you know what I mean. I read it in the car on the way home from the bookstore!!! I only wish it could have been longer and more in depth! Do you think maybe someday you might make it into a full-length novel Hint Hint :) Thanks for such a great story and for making me scream and yell in the car as I read it, hubby just smiled and said you must me be reading Amanda's story!! He knows you are my fav!!! Hugs, Janean

Hi Janean ~ wow, you're the first one I know of who's read my story. I wish it could have been longer, too, but there was a word limit, and I think I went over it a little as it was. Thanks so much. I'm going to post your letter on the book's web page, if you don't mind. Thanks, again! Mandy 7/28/08

All I can say is Wow! Thank you for offering this. I hope I win as I need a good book to read :)

You're welcome, and best of luck!
Mandy 7/19/08


amanda,I have read a few books of yours in the past(and getting the rest) and LOVED them.You must have answered this queston in the past but I have to ask.I known the order of your vamp books and some go with other books but can tell me exactly which ones go together and the order those must be read? Thanks! Laura

Hi Laura ~ I'm happy to know you're enjoying my books. These are the ones that "go together"...and the order I wrote them in:

Shades of Gray
After Sundown
Desire After Dark

Night's Kiss
Night's Touch
Night's Master - coming in October
Night's Pleasure - coming in February

Hope this helps! Mandy 7/16/08


The first book I read by you was Dead Perfect. I thought that it was fantastic, a true page turner. I am a huge fan of paranormal romance books. Romance books in general really. I am currently writing a vampire romance do you have any advice for an aspiring author. Keep up the good work. P.S. Have you thought of making a sequel to Dead Perfect? Jen

Hi Jen ~ I'm glad you enjoyed Dead Perfect. At this time, I haven't given any thought to a sequel. As for advice on writing ~ mainly, write what you like to read. Join a chapter of Romance Writers of America. You can check the library for books on How to Write a Romance. There are a number of magazines for writers. But, mainly, just write what you love and don't worry about what's "hot" in the market right now, because by the time you sell your book and get it published, chances are, something else will be "hot". Best of luck to you. Mandy 7/8/08

Mandy, your story "The Music of the Night" in The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance, it is a new story never before published right? I know your "Masquerade" story has where the heroine is part of the musical Phantom of opera and just wanted to make sure this is a new story. If it is a new story I will buy the book just for your story alone. You are an automatic buy for me, I love all your books and congrats on the time travel getting published I am so happy I have been wanting to read it since you first told us about it and I can't wait to get it! A Huge Fan, Janean

Hi Janean ~ Yes, The Music of the Night is a new story, never before published. Sure hope you like it! And some of the other stories, too :)
I'm excited about Cerridwen publishing my time travel. Will post any new info. Mandy i7/1/08


Hello Ladies and loyal Amanda Ashley/Madeline Baker fans. For those of you dont know, you should have this posted on your site Mandy!!! hint hint, who are going through Moonlight withdrawal. Go to Amazon and click on movies then unbox and download the whole Moonlight series, all 16 episodes for only $1.99 and download their DVD player to watch them on, once you join you only pay $1.89 after the initial first download. Its a fun and easy way to get your daily fix of Mick St. John and Beth Turner. By the way, these episodes can also be watched on whatever form of DVD or media player you have installed on your computer, please note, these cannot be burned to DVD...already tried that, copyright protected. I am also so looking forward to your 2 new books due out in Oct and Feb. Mandy i have to agree with you, writing isnt an easy or lucrative business, so ladies please do buy her books new if possible and if you want some of her discontinued books, they can be found on the internet with book traders. Thanks Mandy and keep up the good work!!!!! Becky

Ah, Moonlight. How I miss it. I recorded the episodes on DVD...nice to know I can watch them whenever I want. Buying them from Amazon is also a good idea.

Becky, thanks for suggesting that people buy my books new. I really appreciate that, partly because I don't get royalties on used books, but mainly because used book sales aren't reported to my publisher. If sales go down too much, I'll be out of a job! Also, if there are books you can't find, I sometimes have extra copies. Mandy, melting in So. Calif where it's over 100 degrees!!!! 6/23/08


Hi Amanda~ I bought it off Amazon about 2 months ago along with Sunlight, Moonlight....and Embrace the Night. I still have Sunlight Moonlight to read. I am slowly getting ALL of your vampire book in a collection on my bookself. smiles* Your vampire books are still Favorite. The Captive took my breath away though. Please....write another one like that if you get bored. Wink. I still cant wait to read the new vampire story you have comming out in the Big Book of Vampire Romance this Aug. I am diffently prebuying that book. Have a great weekend. Sena Stargazerart.com

Hi Sena ~ Thank you for your kind words about my books. It's nice to be appreciated. Writing can be a lonely business . Actually, I started a book set in another world some time ago, but the story sort of fizzled and I set it aside. The same thing happened with The Captive and I set it aside for a while, so I guess there's hope for this unfinished story, too! Mandy 6/21/008

Hi Amanda~ I just finished your book The Captive. OMG!!!! I love your vampire books, but this one was beyond words! Bring on the Hot Captives. (wink) I simply loved it. I read it in 2 nights...didnt get much sleep. hehehehe Falkon tried to take such good care of her....sigh. One of your best! Stargazer Sena

Hi Sena ~ The Captive was certainly a change of pace for me, but ever so much fun to write. So glad you enjoyed it. Didn't know it was still around :) Mandy 6/20/08

I miss Mick (Alex O'Laughlin)so much. I can't beleive that CBS took him off the air and put on Swingtown. WHAT ARE THEY THINKIN'? I sent them a note on their web site but I'm also going to write a letter to them. Thanks for the address. I'm having withdraws. Several of my friends watched the show and we all miss it. Great pics!! Trina T. Lincolnton, NC

Hi Trina ~ The only thing we have to look forward to now is the DVD set coming out in the fall. Fridays just aren't the same without Mick. Thanks for writing CBS. I hope it helps. Mandy 6/17/08

Helo Madeline...I am hoping that you cn help me out. I have an original painting by Doug Beekman for a romance novel cover he did in the mid to late 80's. i have been searching for the book for 3 years now, i do not kow the title. Looking at some of your covers it looks like it may be one of yours. Is there any way I can email the art for you to see and hopefully know??? HELP!!

Hi ~ you can email me at DarkWritr@aol.com. Mandy 6/17/08

Hi Amanda~ I just finished Midnight Embrace...wow! I loved it. I also injoyed how you described the houses, they were breath taking. Thanks again for another enchanting story. Stargazer Sena

Thanks, Sena! Mandy 6/17/08

Yeh with a picture of Alex O'laughlin and Sophia Miles on the cover. OH MY GOD WHAT A BOOK THIS WOULD BE.I would buy everyone of them, I love them together they are great.

I agree. I'd buy the book just for the cover :) Mandy 6/9/08

Is there anyway you can start a new series of books with mick.st.john and beth turner as your characters. would be a great seller.(MOONLIGHT)

I'm not sure if that would be legal, but it's a great idea. Mandy 6/9/08

Just finished Spirit's Song. It was great. I loved every minute of it. Keep up the great work! Sharon

Thanks, Sharon. So glad you enjoyed it! Mandy 5/12/08

Amanda, I've been hooked on your books ever since I read one of your stories in the anthology "After Twilight." I'm an aspiring writer of supernatural novels and I have to say that your work has inspired me so much. I want to thank you for writing so many amazing novels. ~Amber

Hi Amber ~ thank you for your kind words. I'm glad that my work has inspired you. I love writing. I feel it's a gift, and I'm happy to share it.
Mandy 5/6/08


I was curious if ou have an excerpt or a summary of Night's Master yet. Ashlee R.

Hi Ashlee ~ The back cover copy says: PASSION HAS A DARKER SIDE…

Kathy McKenna was sure that the little Midwestern town of Oak Hollow would be isolated enough for safety, but the moment the black-clad stranger walked into her bookstore, she knew she was wrong. Raphael Cordova exudes smoldering power, and his sensual touch draws Kathy into a world of limitless pleasure and unimaginable dangers.

Oak Hollow was supposed to be neutral territory for Supernatural beings. Instead it has become home to an evil force determined to destroy them—and kill any mortal who gets in the way. As leader of the North American vampires, Raphael has always put duty first, but then, no woman ever enthralled him the way Kathy does. And as the enemy’s terrifying plan is revealed, Raphael’s desire could be a fatal distraction for all his kind, and for the woman he has sworn to love forever…

You can read an excerpt by clicking the In the Works link in the left hand column on the News and Notes page. Have a great weekend. Mandy 5/1/08

Hi Christine ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed Dead Perfect. It was fun to write about a romance writer. As you might have guessed, there's a lot of me in Ronan!
Mandy 4/25/08


Hi Amanda, I just picked up your latest book, Dead Perfect, waiting for the weekend to start reading it. I love all your books, your vampires are one of my faves, though I do have to admit I miss the Indian romances that you wrote as well. Keep up the good work. Look forward to the next ones. Serena

Hi Serena ~ good to hear from you. I hope you enjoy reading Dead Perfect as much as I enjoyed writing it!
I miss my Indians, too, although I'm hoping to sell my time travel. Mandy 4/10/08


Hello: Amanda Ashley I wanted to thank you. Your right! Write, what you love to read. So, I guess you already knew that. Your stories' inspire's me. It has occured to me that we writers have something in common. There's a knock on the door that keeps knocking, begging to enter into our domain.. Our world's are so intwined. There is a old saying, great minds think alike. Like, you might already know. I am a songwriter and my song's were inspired by reading your passionate stories I enjoyed "Masquerade" In the book called, After Twilight. All my favorite writer's are in this book. I too, love Phantom of the opera .You took me backstage. I knew you had to love it! You've seen the play. I'll be working on a piece for my favorite writer's.Who in the same time are my teacher's and my inspiration. My music will be dark,full of passion and love and most of all..Hope! Where there is darkness, there is light. You will be the first to know. O yes, in the "Night Touch" trailer..Is that you, cara? Marysol Wichita,Kansas

Hi Marysol ~ always nice to meet another Phantom fan. I've written another Phantom story for an anthology titled The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance, which will be published later this year. The girl in the Night's Touch trailer isn't me. I should look so young, and so good! Mandy 4/8/08

Hello Amanda, I am a fan of vampire novels and most of them seldom quench my thirst. Dead perfect is the first novel by you I picked up and I have to tell you....the book rarely ever left my hand. Such a perfect ending. I would have never guessed. You picked up another fan and I will definitely pick up another book. Thank You...Loved it, Bianca

Hi Bianca ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed Dead Perfect. I loved writing it. I hope you'll enjoy my other books as much. Mandy 4/8/08

Hi Ms. Baker. I loved Dead Perfect. All I have to say is oh my gosh, I could barely put it down until I was finished. Such a great book and I can't wait till your next one and the Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance. Hugs Misty

Hi Misty ~ Thanks so much! I'm delighted that you enjoyed Dead Perfect. As I've said before, there's no highter praise than "I couldn't put it down". Have a wonderful weekend. Mandy 4/3/08

you like it Sena? why thank you. and i know Gabriel is for some reason the one that just adds so much inspiration to things. well in my opinion it is because he didnt only love her as a woman but as well as a child and the whole protection thing. its just perfect.But ALL the vampires are still FABULOUS!! -Natalie*

I loved the Limerick that won this month!!!! Gabriel is my favorite of your vampires. Loved it. Sena

Hey Mandy, well let me tell you that you are by far one of my favorite vampire authors. You have captured them in the exact imaged that I've always seen them and for that i thank you. I thank you for not following all those other authors and their horrific views of deadly bloody vampires. You have a truly gifted mind. Thanks to you, now the true image of vampires in my head are not only mine but all your readers as well. -Natalie*

Hi Natalie ~ Thank you for your kind words. I believe a romance should be a romance. I don't like to read lots of blood and gore or profanity, and so I don't write it, and never will. Of course, there has to be a little blood, they're vampires, after all Hope life is being good to you. And if you're the same Natalie who won the contest this month, congrats, again! Mandy 3/31/08

hi i'm new to u as an author and your books the only story i read so far of urs was in STROKE OF MIDNIGHTS. i really liked the story that was in it so i decided to google your name and find out wat else your wrote, but the only problem is that while visiting your site i'm completely lost as far as navigating ur website to find the type of books that your write and i like, so could you please arrange the books according to the genre and the reading order if that wouldn't be too much trouble for you for the newby's like myself? :)

Hi ~ if you click on the link above that says Books and Series, you'll find a list of my books by genre and publisher, and in the order written. Hope that helps. Mandy 3/27/08

Hi Madeline Dead Perfect was while wonderful and I say this only because I did find one small problem with this book. It HAD TO END! and I will tell you now I really didn't want it to end . You do know how to leave us wanting more. ;) LeeAnn

LOL, LeeAnn. You know what they say about all good things....Seriously, I'm so glad you liked Dead Perfect. I had fun with my romance writing vampire.
Mandy 3/26/08


Hi Mandy, Dead Perfect was a great book and I do hope that you continue to write more. Your romance novels are awesome I have been collecting them for years along with your vampire novels though I am a few behind in them but I am getting there. There are a few that I would like to see sequils to.For the most part though you are an awesome writer and I look forward to your next ones. Cara

Hi Cara ~ So glad you've enjoyed my books, and I'm naturally happy that you liked Dead Perfect. Sequels are always fun to do. Hope you had a wonderful Easter.
Mandy 3/25/08


Hello Mandy, I just wanted to tell you that I just loved DEAD SEXY and of course it didn't take long for me to read.... I just loved it.... Thanks for being a excellant author. Sincerely yours, Ann

Hi Ann ~ thanks so much for your kind words. I'm happy to know you enjoyed Dead Sexy.
Mandy 3/14/08


Hi Mandy, I love your books, especially the Indian Romances you do, i have almost all of your books now and i am collecting the Manda Ashely books now. I have a great site for your loyal readers they can collect your books for free. All they have to pay is the cost of postage if someone request books they post to the site they dont want anymore and wish to trade with other readers. This is a great site, thats how i caught up on the books i missed that you put out. Please recommend this site to your readers. WWW.Paperbackswap.com Becky

Hi Becky ~ thank you for the info.
I'm sure my readers will appreciate it. Mandy 3/14/08


Dead Perfect was the first book I ever read by you - and I loved it! It has been a thrill to find you especially after another one of my favorite vampire authors gave up on her series. So I must ask, will there be a sequel to dead perfect? I'm sure its a bit soon to be thinking about that but wedded vampire life must be as interesting as the two of them coming together!~*Lisa*~

Hi Lisa ~ I'm happy to know you enjoyed Dead Perfect. At the moment, I don't have any plans for a sequel, but you're not the first one to ask, so I may have to give it some thought :) I hope you enjoy any of my other books you might read as much. Mandy 2/14/08

I just picked up Dead Sexy can't wait to read it. How many Limericks are allowed by one person, for the contest? Sharon

Hi Sharon ~ you can enter as many times as you wish. Good luck! Mandy 3/6/08

Hello, I've been hooked om your books since I first read dead sexy. Since then,I went out and bought every other book you wrote. They are all great! Just finished dead perfect. Just one question. How about a contest where the winner would have their name in your book? I would love to have my name in one of your books. Of course,I would want to end up being a vampire too! I think your amazing! Thank you for all your great books! Valerie

Hi Valerie ~ I'm so glad you're enjoying my books. I think your contest idea is really cool. Of course, I can't promise the winner will be the heroine, the name has to fit the character....but if not the heroine, then a secondary character. In fact, it's just a good idea, I think we'll do it this month! Thanks! Mandy 3/1/08

I just finished Dead Perfect. It was a great piece of fiction, and I did enjoy it. However it gave me some terrific nightmares because I have always been afraid of vampires. Also I was wondering if you saw this made for tv movie out in the late 80's starring Rick Springfield about a good vampire cop searching for the bad vampire. Even I enjoyed that, but would have never even considered watching it had it not starred Rick Springfield. Keep up the great work, because I plan to read another one soon. That is when I feel as if I can take the scarf off from around my neck. Just kidding I loved it. Sharon

Hi Sharon ~ sorry about the nightmares, but I'm glad you enjoyed the book! Yes, I saw Nick Knight with Rick Springfield. I even bought it on DVD not long ago. Love it! Mandy 2/27/08

Hello Amanda~ On the Romance novel t.v site they are having a contest. You have to list your 3 most favorite books....I listed your Embrace the Night as one of mine. I had to get it out to spell everyones name right and I got so caught up in it again I have almost read it again for the thrid time! I truly do think its my favortie you have written about vampires. A sexy fairy tale story. Simply wonderful. I just had to tell ya its just as good the thrid time as the frist. Have a great week. Sena

Hi Sena ~ Well, I think it's great that you got so caught up in the story you had to read it again. I love that book! Thanks for letting me know.
Mandy 2/22/08


Mandy, I just finished ready Dead Perfect and could not put it down! I was finished in about 5 hours. A wonderful book that has me in search for more of your published works about vampires. I just can't get enough! I was so happy with this book that my husband says maybe he needs to read it to. Opal

Hi Opal ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed Dead Perfect. Hope you will enjoy my other books as much. Tell your husband hi for me! I hope he'll give my books a try. Madeline 2/13/08

Hello my name is Heaven, I loved your book Dead Perfect. It was wonderful. I fell into like I was with Ronan and Shannah as they took thier adventure. Im just now starting to read Nights Kiss. I might add that you are a great author. Talented most defently. I would like you to know that I write also mostly peoms. I've just started a few years ago. Thank you for writing such wonderful books. Much Love Heaven.

Hi Heaven ~ I'm happy to know you enjoyed Dead Perfect and that you felt like you were in the story. That's how I feel when I'm writing. I hope you're enjoying Night's Kiss. Be sure to read the sequel, Night's Touch, which is in stores now. I write poetry myself from time to time. Mandy 2/13/08

Madeline, I miss the Native American Romances! I am so desperate that I even tried several other authors; none of which have your talent for story telling. I've read some of your other books by Amanda Ashley. While they are engulfing, they sometimes scare me, and give me the creeps so I will never sleep. I want you to know I will never forget your Native American novels and are in my heart always. I also know that Jenny and Ryder are still happy in your heart too! --Sharon

Hi Sharon ~ I'm sorry my vampires scare you. They don't mean to, honest! As for my westerns, I'm still hoping to find a new publisher. Unfortunately, it seems that most historials these days are set in England or Scotland. Not my cup of tea.
Take care! Mandy 2/1/08


My sister Misty and I (jessica) read nights kiss and nights touch, we loved it!!! we have went to the book store and bought 9 of your books and cant wait for more. Misty is an aspiring author, she writes witch, vampire, werewolf novels and she's very good and wanted to know if you had any suggestions that might be helpful for her?

Hi Jessica and Misty ~ if you go to the bottom of my Newsletter page, I've written an article for hopeful writers. I hope it will help.
Mandy


Hi again Mandy..Hope you had a great day. I just finished your book Dead Sexy. I love the way you combined Vampire and Native American theme. Its great!Next I would be reading Night's Touch and looking forward to read Night's Master. I also joined MySpace and added you to my friend list. I hope you would add me as your friend. Thank you and be blessed. -Nanz-

Hi Again, Nanz :) So glad you enjoyed Dead Sexy. I hope you'll give Dead Perfect a try when it comes out next month. I'll look for you on MySpace. Mandy 1/16/08

Hi Mandy..It would be a dream come true to see your vampire series on TV or at the Movies with Gerald Butler as the hero!Any possiblities?. I started reading your books Native American Romance at the begining of 2007 and now Im collecting them. I have to say John DeSalvo is gorgeous! And I have to say Shadow is my favourite character. Im collecting both the Historical Romance and the Vampire series. So Far I have 32 books. Its hard to get some of your books in Australia. Looking forward to your next book in the Vampire series. Take care and be blessed. -nanz-

Hi Nanz ~ Seeing one of my books made into a movie has been a dream of mine for years. Unfortunately, unless someone in Hollywood has the same dream, I don't see it happening. I'm happy to know Shadow is your favorite character because, of course, I love him! My youngest son lived in Sydney for two years and loved it there. He said the country was beautiful and the people were wonderful. Mandy 1/14/08

Hi, I was wondering if you were going to write a book about Rane and what is the name of it?

Hi ~ Rane's book is written. At the moment, it's titled Night's Illusion, but that could change. It's scheduled to be published in October. Happy New Year!
Mandy


Hi Ms. Baker I hope you and your family all had a Merry Christmas. Hugs Misty snd Ellis

Hi Misty ~ We had a wonderful Christmas - too many presents, too much food, but never too much love or laughter. Happy New Year to you and Ellis. Mandy 12/26/07

Hello I recently finished the last Reckless book. I really love Hannah and Shadow. Is the youngest son ging to get married to? Cindy

Hi Cindy ~ I was hoping to do Daniel Blue Hawk's story; unfortunately, I no longer have a publisher for my historicals. I'm still hoping to do it one of these days. To answer your question, yes, he will get married. I already have the girl picked out for him :)
Mandy 12/16/07


Hello, I just wanted to say that I have just finished your book "Night's Touch". I loved it! I could not put it down! I'm not one for "romance" but your book has opened my eyes to a whole new genre. I am offcially hooked! ~Carly

Hi Carly ~ Welcome to the wonderful world of romance. I'm delighted to know you enjoyed Night's Touch. You might want to read Night's Kiss, which is the first book in the Night series. The next book, Night's Master, will be out next year. Mandy 12/5/07

Maksim ~ The only reason I watch "Dancing with the Stars". O god yes, he is so SO well everything, he can move, and he is rock solid, he has a accent, and he is CUTEEEE shame, he really should have won tami from tn

I agree, Tami. He should have won. He and Mel were the best couple out there! Sometimes life just ain't fair. Mandy 12/4/07

Hey Mandy! Love the vid for Dead Perfect. I love the music to it also. Savanna B. from GA

Thanks, Savanna! I love it, too.
Mandy 12/4/07


Hi Ms. Baker Was reading through your web pages and saw that theres going to be a Mummy 3 .... I love those movies. Thanks for posting it ,I did not even know there was a new one coming out. Have a great day!! LeeAnn P.S. I LOVE ALL YOUR BOOKS

Hi LeeAnn ~ glad I was able to pass along some good news! Mandy 11/29/07

Hi Madeline. It is your old agent, Matt Bialer. I hope you are well. I saw that you left Dorchester. Actually, Alicia told me a few months ago. I hadn't spoken to her in a long time. I am doing well. A dad. And at a different agency. I didn't like Trident so I went to Sanford J. Greenburger. Which is a great place. I have been here for almost five years. So you were doing paranormals at the beginning! Anyway, William Morris is looking to confirm your address. Contact tfasst@wma.com Her name is Elizabeth. Thanks. Best, Matt

Matt, it's so good to hear from you. A Dad! That's awesome! Thanks for the contact info for Wm Morris. Don't know why they need my address, it's on my royalty statements! Anyway, great to hear from you. Mandy 11/29/07

Hi Ms. Baker. My son Ellis and I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Hugs Misty and Ellis :)

Hi Misty (and Ellis) Thank you for your good wishes. I spent the day with my youngest son and his family and had a wonderful time. I hope you did, too! Mandy 11/24/07

Hi Amanda, Got to say I just got finished the book Dead Sexy & I love it. I read it in one night becaues I couldn't put it down. I would love to see a book with Joaquin & Regan down the road helping out others/keeping them in line (in the background) Li Lopez

Hi Li ~ so glad you enjoyed Dead Sexy. I've had several readers ask about a sequel. I don't have plans for one at the moment, but you never know what the future will hold. I didn't plan to write a sequel to Night's Kiss, either Mandy 10/17/07

Hi Amanda :) Ive read all your books and I have to say that each one gets better! Have you ever considered writing a vampire romance where the woman in the relationship is the vampire and not the man? -Jenna-

Hi Jenna ~ I'm delighted to know you've enjoyed my books. I do love writing them. Funny you should ask about doing a female vampire, as I've been thinking about giving Mara (from my Night books) a story of her own. Mandy

Hi Mrs. Baker!!!! I just wanted you to know just like everyone else has mentioned that I love your books. You are so talented and blessed and I can't wait till your next installment!!! I was wondering do you do book signing anymore? If you do are you going to do any in Texas? I too love the show Moonlight!!!! Every since the previews first came out I have been so excited about it and when it premiered I sat on the edge of my seat glued to the T.V. through in the entire show. Has anyone else noticed that the commercials seem to take FOREVER when your favorite show is on? I am seriously HOOKED on it!!!! It's a "fangtastic" show...ok that's was corny but hey!!!! Just want to thank you so much for your awesome work!!!!!! God Bless you!!!!

Hi! I'm happy to know you've enjoyed my books. I love writing them.

As for Moonlight, I'm waiting for it to come on as I write this! It's a wonderful show, and I'd advise anyone who loves it to take a minute and send CBS a letter and tell them so before it's too late! Mandy 10/12/07


Hello Amanda I love your books!!!I saw your picture of Henry from Blood ties on your site Do you love that show to?

Oh, my, yes. I can't wait for October 12th when it airs again!!!! Henry is, pardon the pun, to die for! I'm also looking forward to the new series, True Blood. Just wish I knew when it's coming on! Mandy 10/8/07

Hi Mandy! First let me say again how much I love all your books. Once I start one I just can't seem to put it down. Anyway the real reason I a writing to you is to ask you if you have watched the new show on CBS entiled Moonlite? I could not help but notice some very similar things in this show. For one, the Hero is Mic St. John and how he seems to care about mortals. Just wondering if the creater reads your books. Also, if you did see this show if you thought the same? Stephanie L

Hi Stephanie ~ Yes, I saw Moonlight and loved it!I have no idea if the creator reads my books, but I wish someone would read one and turn it into a movie! Be sure to write CBS and let them know you enjoy the show. Mandy 10/1/07

Hi Mandy! Love all the eyecandy you've added in the last little while. LOL Can't wait for the next book. LeeAnn

LOL, LeeAnn, they are cute, aren't they? Mandy 10/1/07

I just wanted to let you know I love your books and can't wait for the next one

Thank you, that's good to know. It will be out in February, with 2 more in 2008 and 2 more in 2009. Mandy 9/16/07

Mandy 9/8/07


Hi, I have tried to enter your July contest several time and it keeps coming back. It says your addy is not right. How do I enter? Virginia

Hi Virginia ~ sorry for the mixup in my address for the July contest. I hope you'll enter my August contest. Nothing to do but sign my guestbook (located in the box above this one). Mandy 8/5/07

HI, just wanted to stop by and say Night's Touch was fantastic!! WOW ! Thanks so much for a great story. LeeAnn

Thanks, LeeAnn! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Wait until you read the next Night book. I think it's my favorite! Mandy 7/28/07

When I was pregnant with my son and my husband and I moved back to FL from Alaska, My mother gave me all the books she had of yours to read and pass my time. I fell in love with your books. Vampire and Western Romance. A lot of the books I have arent even in print anymore but they are cherished on my bookshelves. I bought Nights touch as soon as it came out and loved it so much I was done in less than a day. Now I'm re-reading Shades of Gray. I cant wait for more of your books. Thank you!

Hi ~ Thanks for taking the time to write. I'm happy to know you've enjoyed my books. I love writing them. It always makes me smile when someone mentions rereading one of my books. It's probably the best compliment of all. Thanks again.
Mandy 7/18/07


Hi Mandi, My mom first introduced me to your books, she knew I would love them as much as she does. What a fabulous writer you are. I can just let my mind wander into the stories you are writing. Sexy vampires, what more could you ask for. And the mix of vampire and werewolf was great!! Mom just called me and told me she bought Night's Touch......she will probably read the whole book tonight! I will get it from her tomorrow. Keep up the fantastic story telling that only you can do! much love to you, Nancy J. , Lewisville, TX

Hi Nancy ~ I'm happy to know you and your mom share my books. I think that's neat. Hope you enjoy Night's Touch, and that you had a wonderful holiday. Mandy 7/5/07

Hi Ms. Baker. I just finished Night's Touch and I was so sad to see it end. :( It was such an awesome book that I couldn't put it down for a minute. Can't wait for your next book to come out in February. I'm counting the days :) As always your books are a joy to read. Hugs Misty PS I guess I should call you Ms. Ashley when I'm referring to your vampire books. lol

Hi Misty ~ Good to hear from you. Naturally, I'm happy that you enjoyed Night's Touch. I really loved that book. I just wish the next story in the series was coming out sooner! Hope you're having a wonderful summer. Mandy 6/29/07

Hi Mandi, I just wanted you to know that I just finished your lastest books Night's Touch, and I wanted you to know that I loved that book. I love reading all your books and this one was a big surprise and I loved how you changed the ending. Thanks for writing a great book and I can't wait til the next book. Sincerely Yours, Ann from De Pere, WI.

Hi Ann ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed Night's Touch. I can't wait for the next one in the series to come out, and the one after that :) Yes, I love these people! Mandy 6/26/07

i've read every vampire romance (& the captive) that you've wrote and i just wanted you to know that you are an amazing writter and i love you're books, the first one i found was about 5 years ago at a library andit was midnight embrace, i fell in love with it and bought all your books available up to dead sexy (which i love the mix of vamps and werewolves.) and i cant wait unil july to get your new books!

Hi ~ I'm so glad you've enjoyed my books. I love writing them. I also love my new book, Night's Touch. I'm planning 2 more books in the series, possibly 3. Mandy 6/21/07

You're on Myspace! That's cool. I watched your book preview; I think that's a really good idea. The girl in the preview, is that your grandaughter? Hey, since you're on Myspace, why not video blog on Youtube?! Just hoping. ~Natalie

Okay, Natalie, my ignorance is showing, but do you mean to put my book video on YouTube? If so, it's already there. If not, what do you mean? Glad you like the video. I love it, and yes, that's Ashley, one half of Amanda Ashley :)

Hi Mandy, I was wondering where I could get your book the captive? I don't know if it is even still in print. I can't find it. I am reviewing books now independently as well as for Historical Western Romances. www.lovewesternromances.com I know you used to write that type and i would love to read them but I can't find any. Are they all not in print anymore?? If not what a shame because I love your vamp books and am sure to love your westerns just as much. Love and hugs, Crystal come check out my blog. www.bookreviewsbycrystal.blogspot.com

Hi Crystal ~ I'm not sure which of my older books are still in print. If you call Leisure at 800-481-9191, they can tell you, plus, they will send you a catalog at your request. If enough people call asking for books, they might reissue any that are currently out of print. Mandy 6/3/07

I ordered "Dead Sexy" from the sci-fi bookclub as a last minute, desperate for a new book impluse purchase, and I just want to say that I am very glad I did!! I finished it in just a few hours flat, and was sad that there were no more pages to turn! A very good read indeed. Now I am looking at your other work, what would you suggest for someone who has only read 1 of your books so far?

Thank you so much! You've made my day. My suggestion, of course, would be to buy them all :) Seriously, I guess I'd suggest Night's Kiss, since the sequel, Night's Touch, will be out in July.
Thanks again for your kind words. Mandy 5/2/07


Madeline Are there going to be any more Indian romance books coming? I miss reading them by you. I'm still hoping for a return visit to Bear Valley one more time. Your fan Sharon

Hi Sharon ~ My agent is supposed to talk to my editor about the possibility of publishing a time travel book I wrote a year or so ago, so keep your fingers crossed! As for another Reckless book, it's still on my "to do" list. Mandy

How do I enter this month's contest? sharon

Hi Sharon ~ the rules are in the box at the top of the page. Good luck! Mandy 5/19/07

hey madeline i figure u like the color mauve and avocado sandwhiches cause they are always in ur stories as a thing the main character likes. lea

Really? I'll have to watch that LOL
Mandy 5/19/07


I have a question. Is there an address that I can write directly to you by regular mail? If it is on the site I appologize for asking; I have not seen it. I would love to send a personal letter and poem I have written for you. :) ~Laurie H.~

Hi Laurie ~ you can email me your letter and poem at DarkWritr@aol.com . If you'd rather send a letter snail mail, email me and I'll send you my addy. Mandy 5/4/07

Do You Have Any More Books Along The Same Line As Midnight Embrace And A Darker Dream?

Do you mean set in the past? If so, the first part of EMBRACE THE NIGHT is set in the past. Most of my other vampire books are set in contemporary times, although a couple of them - Night's Kiss and Shades of Gray - have time travel elements that take characters into the past for a short period of time. Mandy 5/2/07

Hi I wanted to know two things. What is the myspace URL and what is May's contest. I am hoping its my month because my birthday is in May

Hi ~ My MySpace URL is http://www.myspace.com/madmandyz The rules for the May contest are listed above this column. Mandy 5/2/07

Hi Crystal ~ I've been busy. As for MySpace, I don't spend a lot of time there. I'd love to be able to respond to all the comments and messages, etc., but if I did, I'd never get any writing done! Will try to check out your slide show, though :) Mandy 4/26/07

hi mandy i sent in a comment earlier today but i forgot to ask do you know anywhere i can get your books from in the uk as it is really hard to get them in the uk thank you amanda

Hi Amanda ~ I'm sorry, I don't know where you can get my books in the UK...You could probably order them here and have them shipped to you but I'm sure that probably costs a small fortune. Mandy 4/26/07

hi mandy i have been reading your books for the last year now and i absolutly adore your indian romances i hope you write many more. i also love the vampires but the indians are without a doubt my favorite. i have 4 young children and i love reading and a scatty collie but i always find time to read your books they are great. al the best amanda

Hi Kimmy ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed Desire After Dark. I hope you'll also enjoy Spirit's Song. Mandy 4/9/07

Hi! Love the vampire novels greatly. I have read lots of vampire novels, but you are the best. You make the reader fall in love with the vampires. It's like you get to know them at a personal level. Like they are almost human instead of the undead Keep up the good work and can't wait to get my hands on the next book.Take care and hope to hear from you soon. BYE;Heidi

Hi Lynn ~ I deleted your poem here and put it on the front page :) I think it's really cute. How did it do in the contest? As for Reckless Heart, you should be able to order it by calling 800-481-9191, or you can order it online from http://www.dorchesterpub.com/ Mandy 4/9/07

Regarding the contests: do I just "sign" my name once a month in the Guestbook?

You only need to sign the guestbook once and you're in for life :) Mandy 4/9/07
