No Maksim this season. No Mandy.
Everyone knows the immutable laws of the galaxy are ~
Tribbles are trouble.
Crewmen in red shirts are expendable.
Even-numbered Star Trek films don't suck.
Three Things to Ponder:
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments
C O W S
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 MILLION illegal immigrants wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.
T H E
C O N S T I T U T I O N
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq . Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.
T H E 10
C O M M A N DM E N T S
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this:
You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not
Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building
full of lawyers, judges and politicians...It creates a hostile work environment.

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 Amanda, I just loved Dead Perfect! Ronan is a true romantic and Shannah incredible. I was so sad when I finished it, I just wanted it to go on and on. I can't wait to read your other vampire books! Christine 4/18/08
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

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

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 Lea ~ I'm sure I received your letter, but I can't find it anywhere! You were certainly an early reader! I didn't start that early but I've loved to read for as long as I can remember.
Mandy 4/21/07

Hi Mandy, I love reading your books, especially Desire After Dark. I just bought Spirit's Song. I'm going to start reading it tonite. I know it will be great. All your books are. Kimmy
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 Heidi ~ thank you for your kind words about my books. I love writing them. I'm really excited about my next book. Love the characters and the story, and especially my hero! Mandy 4/9/07
Hi Mandy, Where can I get a copy of Reckless Heart? I know it was your first published book and I would really like to read it. Have a great day and Happy Easter. Oh and by the way you are more than welcome to use my little vamp poem. Lynn :))
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
Hey Amanda, I just read A Darker Dream...it was REALLY good just ta let ya know..lol :) Well, I was talking about it with my friends and we searched through the book, and we discovered that Rayven didn't have a last name!!! Lol...I'm sure your well aware of this, but if Rayven were to have a surname, what would it be? Love, Christine
Hi Christine ~ Glad to know you enjoyed A Darker Dream. As for Rayven's last name, I hate to say this, but I have absolutely no idea what it would be Mandy 4/3/07
hey amanda i really like your books and im trying to start wrighting my own so do you have any tips simce you have become very successful in your career. letti
Hi Letti ~ There are lots of books out there on how to write a romance, but my advice is always the same - write what you love to read. Mandy 4/3/07
No matter what they changed the title to it will be great. I am sorry that they changed your title . His Dark Embrace is a great title. One of the reasons I bought Embrace the Night was the word Embrace. It just sounds sexy and romantic.
I have to agree :) Mandy 3/24/07
Mandy, I wish they hadn't changed the title!!! I LOVED His Dark Embrace!!! Having the title Dead Perfect makes me think as a reader that it is a sequel to Dead Sexy. Poo on the sales force:( I still think it is going to be a Great book and can't wait to read it~!!! Janean Sparks
Hi Janean ~ I agree with you re the title, but who am I to argue with the sales force? Plus, I think the title His Dark Embrace is perfect for the cover art, but, oh, well :) Mandy 3/23/07
Hey Mandy, Just read your lastest book Dead Sexy and I loved it so much I couldn't put it down. I read it in less than three days which is not a record when it comes to your books. But I can't wait to read the next one. Thanks for all the hard work you do for us readers. Sincerely yours, Ann
Hi Ann ~ I'm glad you enjoyed Dead Sexy. I'm pretty sure you'll like the next one. I know I do :) Mandy 3/20/07
hey Mandy I was wondering, who is that sexy sexy man on the cover of Dead Sexy? Kim
Oh, Kim, I wish I knew! LOLOL I asked my editor who he is, and she said she didn't know, the photo is just a stock photo. Whoever he is, he's a hottie! Mandy 3/16/07
hey mandy this is lea and i just want to tell you that i got the book and finished it in one day. I dont know why your publisher wont let you write any more western books but i love them and cant wait to buy some more. Spirits song was just wonderful
Hi Lea ~ I'm glad you enjoyed Spirit's Song. My publisher said my books weren't selling well enough so they dropped me. I don't know if they weren't selling well because they just weren't selling or because too many readers are buying used books - whatever the reason, they didn't renew my contract. Still, I'm hoping to find a new publisher one of these days!!!! Mandy 3/13/07
Hi Mandy~ I want to thank you for choosing my poetry in your runners-up for the February contest. It is an honor to have you read and enjoy my work. :) Can't wait for more from you. You are definitely a favorite; so glad you share your talent with us all. Sincerely, Laurie H.
Hi Laurie ~ I loved your poetry! You have the heart of a writer. Maybe you should try a book next???? Mandy 3/13/07
HI! I AM NEW TO THIS SITE. I JUST WANTED TO THAT I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN TOLD TO START READING YOUR BOOKS. I STARTED UP READING AGAIN AFTER I HAD MY SON. I WENT TO THIS LITTLE BOOK STORE HERE IN DOTHAN ALABAMA. THE WOMAN THERE TOLD ME ABOUT CHRISTINE FEEHAN AND SHERILYN KENYON. I HAVE READ THEIR STUFF AND ENJOYED IT. THEN SHE TURNED ME IN YOUR DIRECTION. I WAS BLOWN AWAY. I JUST LOVE YOUR BOOKS. ALL I CAN SAY IS I AM HOOKED! FROM YOUR ADDICTED NEW MOM, TAMMY!
Hi Tammy ~ I'm so glad you've enjoyed my books. Please thank your bookstore lady for recommending me. And congratulations on your new baby. I have three sons and let me tell you, they grow up way too fast! Mandy 3/8/07
mandy, I finally got to read your book Dead Sexy. It was awsome, but is it a future type? Any how it's wonderful, and I'm hoping to find even more as I go. I still have not found any of your western stories. how many books have you wriiten.
Hi ~ Yes, Dead Sexy is set sometime in the future. As for my westerns, you can order them from Leisure Books by calling 800-481-9191, or you can ask your local bookstore to order them for you. I'm not writing any new ones, as my publisher said my historicals weren't selling and didn't renew my contract. I've written 24 historical romances, 4 Silhouette Romances, 9 short stories, 11 paranormal romances, 7 time travels, and 3 fantasy romances. Mandy 3/8/07
Mandy, just wanted to add you have me really hooked with the snippet of His Dark Embrace!! I loved how she watches him and has the courage to face him!! Janean Sparks
Thanks, Janean! It hooked my editor, too :) Mandy 3/5/07
Mandy, As you know I loved Dead Sexy and just wanted to stop by and say hi and tell you that I can't wait to sink my teeth into Night's Touch!! Hopefully in the next week or so as I finish up my other reviews. Janean Sparks
Janean, I hope you enjoy Night's Touch. It's one of my favorites! I fell madly in love with Vince. Of course, I fall in love with all my heroes, but Vince was really cool, probably because he's only been a vampire for a year. Mandy 3/5/07
Mandy, I have the first version for lack of better words the old verson of Nights Touch. Is the re-issue any different?
Night's Touch hasn't been published before. Are you thinking of Night's Kiss? Mandy 3/4/07
Hi Mandy, I can not for the life of me find your guestbook. Can you help me out Ashlee R.
Hi Ashlee ~ My guestbook is right below the cover for Night's Touch and above this column Mandy 3/4/07
thank you for picking me i worked really hard on those but i'm really happy so thank you again and i hope you liked my poem. lea h
Hi Lea ~ loved your poem! Mandy 3/4/07
I enjoyed it very much! I especially liked the indian-vampire idea (I don't think that's ever been done before) And don't let negative reviews spoil your mood. I think every author should keep in mind that every book you write, some will love it, some will hate it, you will lose some fans, and you will gain some fans...As long as you're happy with your work, then let them come and go (: Natalie
Thanks, Natalie, that's good advice. Of course, bad reviews hurt. Every author writes the best book she can and hopes that her readers will love it as much as she does. Mandy 2/17/07
I totaly Agree. Her books are WONDERFULL! I love them all. Happy Valentines Day. Sena stargazerart.com
Thanks, Sena :) Mandy 2/17/07
You are right her loyal readers will be upset! I think she is an amazing Author and Dead Sexy was amazing. And you know if you look at the review charts I am not the only one who thought it was awesome...as I recall its #34 so that pretty much proves that it is a hit! But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Crystal
Thanks, Crystal :) It's been doing very well. My editor is thrilled because it's gone back to press twice in the last two weeks. Mandy 2/17/07
hi I just finished reading Dead Sexy, and I thought it was awful .It was a mish mash of a number of books, it made know sense. thats just me,I have been reading your books for years.your older vamp books were great.Im sure your readers are going to be upset with me,sorry still a loyal reader baci
Hi Baci ~ What can I say, except that I'm sorry you were disappointed with like Dead Sexy. Mandy 2/17/07
Hi Ms. Baker I hope you had a great Valentine's Day. I can't wait to go get Dead Sexy. I am so excited but until then I've started reading Under a Prairie Moon again for the millionth time.lol Hugs Misty :)
Hi Misty ~ I hope you had a great Valentine's Day, too. Mandy 2/14/07
I have read all of your books and wanted to know if there may be a another book after 'Desire After Dark' like the 'Night' series. Ashlee
Hi Ashlee ~ I haven't written a sequel to Desire After Dark yet, but you never know Mandy 2/14/07
Mandy, Thanks so much for all the wonderful prizes! I got them in the mail today and was so excited!! Thank you so much once again and I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!! Crystal
You're welcome, Crystal. I'm glad you like them. Mandy 2/14/07
Mandy, I know you think i should make it a book but I don't have that kind of patience. You are more than welcome to use it if you like. Have a nice Valentines Day! Hope you get lots of Chocolates!
I finished reading Dead Sexy over the weekend and I wanted to state that it was intriguing. I have not been one to enjoy the mixing of genres but it was amazing.
Thanks, Crystal. DEAD SEXY was fun to write, especially the part set in the Black Hills. I miss writing about the Old West, so it was nice to visit the Lakota homeland for a little while :) Mandy 2/7/07
Hi mandy, just had to write and tell you how much I enjoyed Dead Sexy. Could you tell me who is the cover model. Andrea
He's gorgeous, isn't he? I asked my editor who he is, but she said she didn't know. Probably just as well. If we knew who he was, he'd probably have legions of women chasing him Mandy 2/7/07
Hi Madeline/Mandy, I am so excited that I have won this month's contest.I am glad you liked my entry. I love Vamps.Its great you take the time to read contest entries and also give prizes. I guess what I am trying to say is its nice that you are so down to earth with being a big author and all; that you still take time out for normal things. Thanks again for picking my entry and thank you in advance for the prizes. Crystal
Thanks, Crystal, for those kind words :) And congrats again. I really think you should take that paragraph and turn it into a book. Mandy
what is the dead line for febuary? p.s. I wrote the comment under this sorry I didnt put a name. my name is lea
Hi Lea ~ You can write about anything you wish. The deadline for January is the 31st, the deadline for February is the 28th, although I think I'll be doing something a little different for February. Check the contest page for details. Good luck! Amd Happy Birthday! Mandy 1/28/07
Hey Amanda Ashley do you have to write about anything special? Vampire or Indian, but I would prefer Vampire. I have got all your books from Midnight Embrace, Night's Kiss, Desire After Dark, A Whisper to Eternity, and After Sundown. I am A bookaholic. I can read like no other, I have read all of these books in one day. Ann Rice doesn't have anything on your books. I plan to buy more on my birthday which is jan. 31 heheheh only three more days. well I guess after I turn 15 I can buy a whole lot more cause I love reading!!!!!!!!!!!
If you want help I will help you. I know a little if you want i will make you a background using dead sexy. I will get it ready and then I will e-mail it to you. I just sent a friend request as well. Thanks for the reply.
Thanks, Crystal! Will let you know if I decide to make any changes. Mandy 1/28/07
Hi Mandy, I was wondering do you have a myspace site? Thanks, Crystal
Hi Crystal ~ yes, I do, although I'm not sure how most of it works! I use it mainly to advertise my books...and don't get into the friend thing, etc. I really need to spend some time there and learn how to use it better! My website is http://www.myspace.com/madmandyz Mandy 1/23/07
Hello Ms. Baker, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your vampire romances. I've just finished "Embrace the Night" and couldn't put it down in the process of reading it! I even turned my cellphone off so no one would interrupt my reading. Adieu for now~ Grace
Hi Grace ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed EMBRACE THE NIGHT. It's one of my favorites, probably because it was my first vampire book, or maybe because of Gabriel, or both :) Mandy 1/22/07
Hi Mandy!! I have been reading your books since i was 16!!! that was half a lifetime ago! You gave me a love for all things native american! when are you coming out with a new native american book??? Rachel
Hi Rachel ~ I'm sorry to say, my publisher has decided not to publish any more of my historicals. They said they weren't selling, so either my readers are no longer buying them, or they've stopped buying them new and started buying them used. There's no way for publishers to keep track of used book sales, only new ones, and apparently my new books weren't selling well enough, so my publisher didn't renew my contract.
Perhaps readers aren't aware that every new book they buy is like a "vote" for that author, which is how publishers decide who to publish. A lot of authors have stopped writing historical romances, not because they wanted to, but because the books aren't selling the way they used to. Mandy 1/20/07
hi Amanda. I loved your books since i started reading. i tried to e-mail you but couldn't get through. i keep looking every time i go in a book store but no new ones are there. guess i'm impatient. i keep reading the ones i have over and over. Carol
Hi Carol ~ I'm happy to know you're enjoying my books! Are you sending your email to DarkWritr@aol.com? It should go through. As for new books, DEAD SEXY will be out in February and NIGHT'S TOUCH in July :) Mandy 1/8/07
Hi Mandy i just wanted to tell you i am very honored to have won your december contest thank you soo much! Also i think the winner for november was leeann i may be mistaken. Amanda
Hi Amanda. Congrats again. And I think you're right. I think LeeAnn was the winner in November! Thanks! Mandy 1/3/07
Hi Amanda :) It was three years ago when I stumbled across "Embrace the Night". I had never read a romance book before, but I have always been intrigued by vampires and decided to give it a shot. I absolutely loved it and I have loved all your stories since. You have truly brought life to the undead. Keep up the wonderful stories! -Jennifer Lucas-
"Life to the undead". What a great quote! I'm so glad you've enjoyed my books. It's letters like yours that help me get past the nasty reviews I've been getting on Amazon! Thanks!!! Mandy 1/3/07
I must say that I was a avid hater of romance books...That is until I met Rayven.I read ONE line while standing in line at the store and was hoplessly hooked. Thank you Amanda Ashley for giving me a new adiction , i cant put them down! Is there any chance of a book signing in missouri anytime soon???
Hi. So glad you liked Rayven. I'm rather fond of him myself . As for a book signing in Missouri, I doubt if that will happen any time soon. I'm not much of a traveler. Happy New Year! Mandy 1/2/07
an avid romance reader Amanda Ashley and Madeline Baker are two of my ABSOLUTE favoutites!!!! the first book i ever read was Apache Runaway by Madeline Baker and i fell in love with the characters and the wild west of America so much so ive made it my dream to visit there one day Thank you Amanda and Madeline!!!! love Katy Elkington- Kempsey- Australia
Hi Katy! Always nice to meet someone from Australia. My son lived in Sydney for 2 years and he loved it. Hope you get to come visit us some day. Mandy 1/2/07
Hi Ms. Baker Happy New Year. Hope it's a great one for you and family. Hugs Misty
Thanks, Misty. A happy 2007 to you and yours. Mandy 1/2/07
Amanda I want to say I love your books. I wonder if I could get one of those bookmarkers you talked about? is your picture on them? I was reading Desire After Dark and on page 45 you wrote Edward Ramsey was brought over when Khira was destroyed but he was brought over when Alexi was destroyed in Shades of grey. Kelly and Marissa was brought over in After Sundown. Please let me know either way. Carol
Hi Carol. Re the error on page 45, all I can say is oops! I can't believe that a mistake like that made it past my editor, the copy editor, my critique group and myself. I hope no one else caught it . As for a bookmark, if you email me your address, I'll be happy to send you one. And no, my picture isn't on it. I wouldn't want to scare you
Mandy 1/2/07
I would really like an autographed book. What address do I need to use? Thanks
Hi ~ you need to mail it to PO Box 6321, Norco, CA 92860, and include return postage. Mandy 12/27/06
Merry Christmas Mandy!! Do you autograph books if fans send them to you?? Thanks, Crystal
Hi Crystal ~ I'd be happy to autograph your books, as long as you include return postage. Merry Christmas! Mandy
Hi Mandy~ Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and Joy on the Longest Night! Magic can happen...... Cheers, Sena stargazerart.com
Hi Sena ~ Merry Christmas to you and yours. Magic can happen...it's never truer than at Christmastime! Mandy 12/16/06
Hey Mandy! It's Savanna. I know no comments lately. I've been busy with school. I read the back cover to Night's Touch. I really like it. I can not wait to get it. It will be a great birthday present for me. I started reading Shades of Gray and the sequels over again. I really like those books. Everything you write is amazing to me. Hope all is warm in your neck of the woods. Talk to you later, Savanna. from Georgia.
Hi Savanna! Good to hear from you again. I really like Night's Touch, too :) As for the weather, it's raining today, and it's about time. I'm tired of hot weather!!!! Mandy 12/16/06

Hi Ms. Baker. I just wanted to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. Hugs Misty @}---}----
Hi Misty ~ Merry Christmas to you, too. Hope it's the merriest one yet! Mandy 12/11/06
HI mandy. My name is hailey Shapiro. I am doing a movie poster project for my pre A-P L.A class on your very sweet and sentmental book 'Desire after Dark'. I also have to do a book log on it and one of the questions is the authors nationality, and imagin my suprise to find out that you and Amanda Ashley are one and the same!I was in shock and for a coule hours I kept repeating that out loud. Why did you use a different name to write your wonderful romences about burning needs and desire and love for enterity? Back to the project. I was wondering, if maybe,... that you would like to have it? If you would, would you please email me at Wolfmistress25@aol.com? I would really like to chat with you and ask you questions, like do YOU beleive in vampires? I do. Have you ever read Lindsy Sands vampire romences? They are funny and her ideas on vampires are compleatly opposite of yours. Any way, would please write back and send me your email adress so I can talk to you easier? thanks.
Hi Hailey ~ I don't believe there are actual vampires; however, I know there are people who pretend to be vampires, and a few who believe they are vampires and act accordingly. I haven't read any of Lindsay's books. Mandy 12/11/06
Thank you Ms. Baker I am so honored to be one of the winners of your contest. Even with my spelling error , I saw it when I was reading your contest page. Thank you once again , LeeAnn
Thanks for your entry. Spelling doesn't count . Mandy 12/11/06
Mandy, I have tried to e-mail my contest entries but I keep getting them returned.
Hi Crystal ~ your contest entries came through just fine, twice :) Mandy 11/20/06
Mandy, I was wondering do you accept book ideas from fans? I have a really great idea and believe it would sell alot and even have most of it laid out (6 pages) but i don't have the patience to sit and write a novel. I would really like for someone to write this book just for the pure enjoyment of something based along different lines. Please let me know. Thanks for keeping up on writing. Love your work
Hi Crystal ~ I'm afraid I don't accept ideas for a variety of reasons, but mainly because my mind just doesn't work that way. My son gave me a great idea, but I just couldn't make it come together. Mandy 11/20/06
I'm a new fan of yours. I have just finished reading Midnight Embrace and I couldn't put it down. I absolutely loved it! But I was wondering, are you planning a sequel to that book? I think it would be wonderful! Again I love your writing! Can't wait to read more! Thanks for the awesome writing! Melissa
Hi Melissa ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed Midnight Embrace. I don't have any plans for a sequel at this time, but you never know what the future holds. I didn't have any plans for a sequel to Night's Kiss, either, but I'm currently working on the second one! Mandy 11/10/06
Hey Mandy...I love Dude Ranch Bride its so sweet...but would you be able to tell me the name of the guy on the australian cover?! Coz is steaming HOT! thanks Roxy
Hi Roxy ~ I'm glad you enjoyed Dude Ranch Bride. I'm sorry to say, I have no idea who that hunk is! Mandy
Hi Ashley, Just wanted to let you know that I have all your books both vampire and romance novels and I have to say that your books are one of a kind. I really like your love stories either in vampires or indians. Thank you for all of your great stories and I hope to collect all of your books. Sincerely yours, Ann Oley
Hi Ann ~ Thanks so much! I'm happy to know you've enjoyed my books. Leisure has reissed several of my Amanda Ashley titles and will be doing the rest next year. Hope you have a happy Halloween! Mandy 10/27/06
Hello, I was wondering if you will be writing anymore short stories like "Darkfest" and "Born of the Night". I've been hunting for stories like those by different authors and you of course, could you tell me any other authors if you won't be writing anymore of them? Leah
Hi Leah ~ Publishers invite authors to write short stories, and I haven't been asked lately. I can only think of one anthology out there at the moment, although I'm sure there are more. The one I know about was written by Sherrilyn Kenyon and Ronda Thompson and one or two other authors. I'm sorry, I can't think of the title, but you can probably find it on one of their websites. Hope this helps. Mandy 10/17/06

Hi I have been reading your books since last year. i have almost collected all of your vampire novels except three which are out of print. Do you know where I could find EMBRACE THE NIGHT, DARK DREAM, and DEEPER THAN THE NIGHT? Ashlee Ashlee_babe_015@yahoo.com
Hi Ashlee ~ EMBRACE THE NIGHT and A DARKER DREAM were reissued this month (September). If your book store doesn't have them in stock, they can order them for you, or you can order them by calling 800-481-9191. DEEPER THAN THE NIGHT is being reissued sometime next year, I'm not sure when. Hope this helps! Mandy
I must apologize, I think I accidentally sent a funny cartoon to you, and I meant to send it to my sister, but I think I copied your address (on my e-mail Inbox) and sent it to you; If I did, I did NOT mean to do that! I'm SO sorry! Please disregard it... Natalie
No problem, Natalie, I can always use a good laugh. Mandy 9/9/06
Hi Mandy,It's me again I now have tried DarkWritr@aol.com and I get the same thing. welcome to aol.com, it has the news and other things. But now my computer locks up. I just don't know how to get my entry in. I'm running out of time. Thank You Again, Sherry
Hi Sherry ~ I'm sorry, but I just don't know what to tell you. I don't understand why you can't email me. I suppose you could type your entry here....Does anyone else have any advice for Sherry? Mandy 9/1/06
Hi Mandy, I have tried to enter your contest at two different times at MandyzNewQ2@aol.com and I come up with a totally different web site with news and other things. What should I do? I have tried it the way I wrote it and with small lettering to. Thank You, Sherry
Hi Sherry...that's odd. Send it to DarkWritr@aol.com and put contest entry in the subject line, and then mention again that you had trouble sending it to the contest entry addy. Good luck! Mandy 8/27/06
Do writers have any say in where there books are released? It can be hard to find your books in South Africa. Ordering from overseas is not really an option with the exchange rate against us. Regards Rene Cape Town
Hi Rene ~ Unfortunately, authors don't have anything to say about where their books are sold. I forwarded your question to my publisher and this was the reply I received:
"At this time, we do not have a distributor that covers South Africa. We are continually attempting to expand our international distribution base and have been working with an International Sales group to cover all markets." Mandy 8/13/06
I think your are a fantastic author. I can't wait to get your books by yourself and as Amanda Ashley. I especially love the reckless books I think they are some of the most fantastic books I read. Regards Gilly
Hi Gilly ~ I'm happy to know you've enjoyed my books. As for my Reckless series, they remain among my readers favorites, and mine, too.
Mandy 8/12/06
My first encounter with your writing was Night's Kiss. I was not able to put it down! My next book was Desire After Dark (didn't realize it was a sequel). I can honestly say that I didn't feel lost reading it even though it is a sequel. I couldn't put it down and read long into the night. I was caught up in the characters and pictured myself as being the ravishing Victoria. lol I was disappointed when the book ended. I wanted it to continue to live through the eyes of Victoria. I can't wait to get more of your books to add to my collection! -K
Hi K ~ Thanks so much! Mandy 8/12/06
Hello again Ms. Baker. I hope you're having a great summer, what's left of it anyway. :) I hope your time travel book you mentioned does get published. Those are my favorite ones next to your vampire books of course. ;) Anyway,please keep your wonderful books coming. Yo
