Hi Mandy, i just read my first book by you and i loved it.The title was Lakota Renegade. Can you tell me what order the historical romance books go in. I want to ready them all but i lke to read them in order. Also could you send me a book mark. Thank you for the great books.
Hi Patty ~ I'm happy to know you enjoyed Lakota Renegade. You can find a complete list of my books and the order they were written by clicking on the My Book List at the top of the page. Mandy 6/9/09
Happy Mother's Day Mandy!! Just have a suggestion for you about the website. Where you have your available ebooks you should include a link like this below because some of your books are available as ebooks in Amazon's Kindle store. You should check out the last book listed under your Amanda Ashley ebooks in the Kindle store because it is not yours. Don't know why it is there. Janean
Amanda Ashley
Madeline Baker
Hi Janean ~ I had no idea my books were available in Kindle editions. Thanks for letting me know. As for that last book, I don't know why it's there, either. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up! You're right about the links to Amazon. That's a good idea. Thanks for that, too. Mandy 5/11/09
Hi Mandy- As Twilight's Edward would say "Your vampire books are like my personal brand of heroine". :) I can't get enough. I have read all of your Night's series and just finished Dead Perfect. I LOVE THEM ALL!!!!! I ordered five more of your vampire books today (little does my son know that he's paying for them as my Mother's Day gift) LOL Keep up the GREAT work.
Hi ~ Love your Twilight reference! I'm happy to be your drug of choice :) and hope you enjoy your five new books. Happy Mother's Day to you!!!
Mandy 5/9/09
HI, i was wondering have you ever got one of your books made into a movie? or have you got asked for any of them to become a moive. (under a praire moon) i think would be a good movie. Sonia
Hi Sonia ~ Readers are always asking me that question. Unfortunately, the answer is no. I would love to see one of my books made into a movie, but it isn't up to me, and no one in Hollywood has ever expressed any interest. But I keep hoping!!!
Mandy 4/28/09
I am a huge fan of yours, both indians and vampire. I have most of your books. Cant wait for Mara's story. How can I get a bookmark? Keep writing, I will keep reading.. Sheila ( fthrmaiden@yahoo.com )
Hi Sheila ~ Delighted to know you've enjoyed my books. I'm thinking Mara's story will be out in 2011, which seems like forever away. As per my email, just send me your address if you'd like bookmarks. I'll be happy to send you some. Mandy 4/25/09
I recently started reading your vampire books and can't get enough of them. I have almost read all of them! I love them and think you are an amazing writer. I was wondering if you might have a sequil to Dead Sexy? I thought the pregnant werewolf or unborn child might seek revenge? Just a thought....your Texas fan, Kim
Hi Kim ~ I'm delighted to know you're enjoying my vampire books. I hadn't thought about doing a sequel to Dead Sexy, but you've got a good idea there. Perhaps I'll pursue it one day in the future. Mandy
Hi Mandy, Yes your right Angel and the outlaw has got a nice horse on the cover. The one i like the most is Reckless Embrace it was my Seconed book of yours. when i brought it i dint realise that it was one of yours i just broght it beacues of the hosres, and agian i couldnt put it down. Sydeny is a nice place i like the country. Sonia (new Australian fan)
Hi Sonia ~ I've been very lucky with my covers. Most of them have been beautiful. Nothing makes me happier than to hear someone say they were reading one of my books and couldn't put it down. That's high praise indeed. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Mandy 4/18/09
Hi, i have to say i am only a new fan to your books. I fell in love from the first book i read and it was (Chase the Lightning) to tell you truth i only brought it because it had a horse on the cover and i love horses. i never used to read much untill that book i couldnt put it down. Now i have 9 books and 3 on the way. your new fan from Australia
Hi New Fan from Australia. The cover for Chase the Lightning is awesome. So is the cover for The Angel and the Outlaw (another pretty horse but with a hunky guy). I'm happy to know you enjoyed my book and delighted that it got you reading. It's one of my favorite things to do. My son spent 2 years in Sydney, and he loved it there. Mandy 4/17/09
Hi Mandy Did you know you can watches reruns (I know RERUNS!?) of Moonlight on the SciFi Channel? Mick is worth a rerun or 2... ;o) LeeAnn
Hi LeeAnn ~ Yes, I knew that. I also bought the DVDs the other day, so now I can have a little taste of Mick any time, day or night Mandy 4/13/09
Hi Mandy, I haven't visited your site in awhile and I am so excited to see that there is a new time travel comming out. Now that I know It's going to be hard to wait. I still would love to see another book in the Reckless series. I just re-read the series of them and it's like going to visit old friends. You just fall in love over and over again with the characters.
Hi. Thanks for stopping by! I haven't totally given up hope on one more sequel to my Reckless books. I even have one started, but I haven't had time to work on it lately, since I have contracted books I need to write first. Mandy 4/9/09
As a public librarian and AVID FAN, I was somewhat shocked and "dismayed" when I read the note at the end of Night's Pleasure which said that the next book MAY be your last!! (Mara's story). Please keep writing these books!! I look forward to every one and recommend them to many library patrons!! I'd be lost without them... nothing to look forward to. :(
Uh-oh! I didn't mean it would be my last book, only the last book in the series. And even that might not be true, as there's a possibility of two more Night books. Thanks for recommending my books. I appreciate it! Mandy 3/31/09
Hey there, i love your books but the only way i can get them where i am is to borrow them from a library....which sucks really because i like having the book... anyhoo love your short story in the mammoth book of vampire romance :) kirsty x
Hi Kirsty ~ Sorry you can't buy my books. That's a bummer! Happy to know you enjoyed my short story. I loved writing it, as I'm crazy about the Phantom of the Opera!!!! Mandy 3/27/09
Hi, Mandy! I remember you saying something about a new story for a new anthology, but I can't remember when you said it would be out. I believe you said that the person who asked you to write a story for THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF VAMPIRE ROMANCE asked you to write a story for a new time travel anthology and I really don't want to miss getting it. You are my favorite author and when you have a new book coming out I always write it on my calendar so I can get it the day it is released! Could you tell me when the book is due out and if it has a title yet? Thanks, Janean and can't remember when
Hi Janean ~ I haven't heard from the editor of the new anthology, so I guess I'm not going to be in it. Kind of disappointing, but, what can I do? She was supposed to get back to me some time ago, but never did. Mandy 3/27/09
Oh and congrats to Jackie W. for winning! Cecile
Mandy~ are you going to let us read the winner for March's contest when it is done? PS... how does one go about reviewing your books? Just curious.. Have a blessed day! Love, hugz and smiles! Cecile
Hi Cecile ~ Yes, I'll post the winner at the end of the month. As for reviewing my books, they are reviewed by online review sites like Romance Junkies. I'm not sure how one get to be a reviewer. Some people review them independently on their blogs. Mandy 3/4/09
Where can i find Deeper than the night? It's the only book i havn't read from you and i'm dying to read it. Emily C.
Hi Emily ~ You can order it online at www.dorchesterpub.com or by calling 800-481-9191. Mandy 3/2/09
HI Mandy so glad you got my message!! I was pretty ticked that my MS acct got phished too, but that stuff happens. Thanks for keeping me to review your books, and just so you know I loved your story in the Mammoth book of vamp romance :) Crystal
Hi Crystal ~ Hey, glad you liked my story in the Mammoth Book. It was fun to write. I do so love the Phantom of the Opera!!!! Have a great Ssabbath. I can't believe tomorrow is March st already! Sheesh!!!! Mandy 2/28/09
Ooops forgot to ask you. Do you have a facebook acct? Crystal
Hi Mandy, this is Crystal that has done a couple reviews for you. I closed my myspace page down, right after it got phished and wanted to keep in contact with you :) I hope you'll still consider me to review for you, you know you're one of my all time favorites :) my email is crystaladkins722@gmail.com Have a great week and keep up the exceptional work!!
Hi Crystal ! I'm so sorry about your account being phished. Of course, I still want you to review my books. And no, I'm not on Facebook. Sorry. Mandy 2/24/09
Hi I'm Tara. I was wondering was Night Pleasure going to be called Night Illusions because in the back of Night Master that's what it said Rane's book was called. I'm just making sure I'm not missing a part of the book or something. Thanks lots.
Hi Tara ~ Yes, the original title for Night's Pleasure was Night's Illusions, but my editor didn't like it. Personally, I still like Night's Illusions better :) Next up is IMMORTAL SINS, coming in October, and then EVERLASTING KISS in February of next year. Mandy 2/24/09
Smile for Madeline! Well, not only this is my first time writing to you, but it is first time I write to any novelist. I have to say that in most cases I'm totally enchanted by your books. I still have to get "Night's Master" and "Night's Pleasure", as they can't be found in bookstores over here in Serbia (just like any other of your books). Lucky me to have good e-friends from the USA who managed to get e-books and send me over mail... :) Too bad that it's hurting your account. Anyway, I really enjoyed your books and Miccah from "Sunlight-Moonlight" is still my favorite male character... And, believed or not, my favorite girl is Mara, even though she is only side-character in "Night's Touch"... Well, I find her one of those side characters that you start caring about more than about main character. After all, you know that main ones will earn one happy end. And I have to comment about your researches... Well, I don't remember in which book, but you said something like "Every nation on the world has some sort of vampire legends, whether those were **** from Greece or Vukodlak from Croatia". The thing is that vukodlak is werewolf (and following the VAMPIRE line, in Croatia AND Serbia, those are vampir. And it's famous Croats and Serbs that brought that world into worlds languages. xD Well, that's all from me now. Thanks for reading this! Big virtual kiss from Serbia! Andrea
Hi Andrea ~ I'm happy to know you're enjoying my books. Regarding the word "Vukodlak", the research I did on the web said that it was a word used by both the Croatians and the Serbians. The reserach also said that some believed that the Undead spent a part of their life in wolf form, so maybe that's where the werewolf part comes in. It sounds like you're getting my books for free which is, indeed, too bad for me. Mandy 2/23/09
Hi Mandy, Hope you're February was better than mine. I am so ready for warm weather. Kimmyl
Hi Kimmy ~ We've had quite a bit of rain, but I love it, as long as I don't have to drive in it! Right now, it's cool and cloudy. Mandy
HI AMANDA ,IM NEW TO YOUR NOVELS, I JUST READ -- NIGHTS PLEASURE-- I LOOOOOOOOOOVED IT! I COULDNOT PUT IT DOWN! I READ IT IN ONE DAY! HAHA -- MY HUSBAND ACTUALLY LIKES WHEN I FINISH A BOOK BECAUSE THEN I FOCUS MY ATTENTION BACK TO HIM! HAHA IM LOOKING FOWARD TO READING -MARA- STORY!

Hi Monsi ~ So glad you enjoyed Night's Pleasure, and happy to know you weren't lost in the story, even though you missed the first three books. I sometimes wonder if readers have trouble coming in late. Hope you're having a blessed Sabbath. Mandy 2/15/09
Madeline!! I JUST finished Night's Pleasure!! It was wonderful. I so enjoyed it and I cannot wait for the next one, thank you so so much! Jenifer Brown
Hi Jenifer ~ So glad you enjoyed Night's Pleasure! Mandy 2/13/09
I forgot to leave my name.. I just wrote that long letter to you... about the hubby under the covers (lol)... My name is Cecile, cecile.smith75@yahoo.com!! Hope to hear from you!
Hi Cecile ~ thanks for the laugh about your husband "looking under the sheet for the vampires". As I mentioned in my email, I read the Lestat books in reverse order and enjoyed them just the same. Mandy 2/13/09
Hi Mandy, I just signed your guestbook and I have to say WOW!! You are truly a gifted writer with an amazing fan base! I will have to agree with one of the posts down below... I picked one of your books up and read it all the way through... always saying, "just one more chapter and I will go to bed." Then the sad part is I would have to go under the sheets to read because my booklight would be to much light for hubby (felt like a toddler making my bed into a tent)... so where does hubby end up... under the sheets making fun of me by saying, "is this where the vampires are hanging out tonight?!" I read the Night's set backwards; but it was a trip reading it that way... I just can't wait for Mara's story! That is going to be one heck of a story! Love the page design!
Hi Mandy. I just started reading you books. I am trying to start from the very beginning so I do not miss anything! If your books make it to TV, keep me in mind for a leading role. :) It would be a pleasure to play one of your characters. lynds@robandlynds.com Lyndsay
Hi Lyndsay ~ Always happy to meet a new "reader". If my books make it to TV, it will be a miracle! Be happy to let you have a leading role .
Mandy 2/9/09
Hi Mandy! I'm deep in the throws of Night's Pleasure ;) and am loving seeing Mara back. (I'd have been finished days ago if the post office hadn't lost it..I always preorder your books the moment I hear they're coming) I am counting the days to Mara's own story. I adore the snipet you've posted for us here about her. I squealed when I read the names of vampires in Savanah's book and Rayven was listed. He's always been my first love :) Would you consider a prequel with him? I've read a Darker Dream so much the poor book is almost in pieces. I'll have to find a replacement and put this one away for safe keeping :) As always, love the read and can't even in the midst of one book, I wait anxiously for the next. Warmest thoughts and deepest thanks. :) Sue
Hi Sue ~ I'm delighted to know you're enjoying Night's Pleasure. I love this series!
I've never thought about doing another book about Rayven, but anything is possible As for Mara's story, it has an interesting twist to it. I don't have a pub date for it yet. I'm writing faster than my publisher is putting my books out. Have 2 books scheduled for this year, and 2 for next, and am working on books for 2011. Mandy 2/7/09
Hi Mandy, I just discovered you, I have always been a Sherrilyn Kenyon and Christine Feehan fan... But believe me when I say that you now top them. Thanks for the great read!!!! Paula
Wow, Paula, saying I top Feehan and Kenyon may be the hightest compliment I've ever received!!!!! Thanks so much. You made my day! Mandy 2/7/09
thanks for the contest - outttalent@aol.com
You're welcome! Mandy 2/7/09
I forgot to add that I can't wait to read the book about the man in the painting that a snipet of it was in the back of Night's Pleasure!!! It sounds so great I can't wait to get my hands on it!! Janean
Thanks, Jeanean. It's titled IMMORTAL SINS and will be out in October. Mandy 2/3/09
Mandy, Once again you have created a Masterpiece!! Night's Pleasure was indeed a Night's Pleasure for me!! I got the book they day it came out and later that night I picked it up, only planning on reading a chapter or two since it was so late but once I picked it up, I was gone!! I finished it at 2:34 A.M. Crawled into bed with hubby and he rolled over and saw the time and said "You picked up Amanda's book didn't you?" I told him he knows me so well and that it was fantastic!!!! I can't wait to read Mara's story!!! Thanks for weaving such wonderous and wicked stories for all of us to love! Janean
Hi Janean ~ I had to laugh when I read what your husband said. I'm sorry you lost some sleep, but thrilled to hear that you couldn't put it down. You've made my day. Thanks bunches! Mandy 2/3/09
Hey Mandy, I heard somewhere they are bringing Moonlight back to tv. I can't remember where I heard it though darn it. LOL. If I hear about it again i'll let you know. That was really a cool series and I was disappointed the network dropped it. Did you happen to watch the True Blood series. I like Charlaine's Sookie Stackhouse books and was excited HBO was doing a series about them. It was pretty good I thought. When will we be able to watch a series about your vampire books. I would be sooooo happy if that were to happen. Earlene
Hi Earlene ~ I wish they were bringing Moonlight back. Unfortunately, it's only reruns that are coming back. As for True Blood, it's too graphic for me. I do, however, love the books. I don't think my books will ever make it TV, but I keep hoping. Mandy
These look like fun
Hi Mandy, I saw your books on fantasticfiction.com. I hope to find one of the Native American ones, looks very interesting. I love reading anything I can get my hands on. I believe I entered your contest too. Hope I win. Robyn
Hi Robyn ~ It's pretty hard to find my Indian books in stores these days. You might try calling Leisure Books at 800-481-9191, or looking online at http://www.dorchesterpub.com/ . Best of luck in the contest. Mandy 1/29/09
I read every day and have for many years.
dang!! i never thought that i would make it through the trip to mexico without your books.i bought five of them and wen i didnt have light i used my phone light. i am a vampire and western romantic lover. i never left the hotel room because i was just enthralled in your stories. your books saved my hide on a very long trip to mexico and three younger brothers. hhah sincerely lea
Hi Lea ~ So glad my books came to your rescue! Hope you're safely home again. Mandy 1/26/09
I think the book sounds very good! I would like to win it!
Best of luck to you! Mandy 1/26/09
Hi Mandy, I'm just glad that the holidays are over with. I need a big break.
Yes, it's nice to be able to relax...of course, we have so many birthdays coming up, I'll be spending a lot of time shopping again...good thing I love to shop! Mandy 1/20/09
Found your website on an online site for contests. WOW! Where have I been? The pixs of those "hunky" guys are wonderful, especially the Native American models on the covers of the books! WOW! This may actually make me go back to reading books again! Please count me in on the contest for the Apache book! Pretty Please!! Thanks! MIBirdbrain50@aol.com
Hi ~ If you signed my guestbook (link below) you're in. The models are wonderful, aren't they? I didn't know they had a website that listed contests. That's cool. Mandy 1/5/09
does this book have pictures?
Only the one on the cover. Mandy
1/5/09

Hi Amanda I just wanted to let you know that I love the vampire books series. It is a page turner and i can't wait to get Night's Pleasure.I love this series and can not wait for Mara's story. Thanks for the hours of distarction buy your wonderful books. Debbie

Hi Emily ~ always happy to help when I can! Mandy 12/11/08
Hi Amanda, i just wanted to know if there is a store selling Deeper than the Nigkt cause that is the only one of your books i haven't read. Emily
Hi Emily ~ I think Deeper Than the Night is out of stock. You could call Leisure Books at 800-481-9191 and see if they have a copy available. If not, email me. I may have a copy. Happy Thanksgiving! Mandy 11/26/08

Hi Terie ~ I'm happy to know you've enjoyed my books. Tell your husband that books are a pretty cheap hobby :) and something you can do at home.
Mandy 11/15/08
Hi, my name is Teresa and I read the book "Beneath a Midnight Moon" years ago as a young teenager. My dad threw out all of my romance novels (that I actually aquired from my mother)but I always remembered the story; but not the title or author. Just recently as an adult I got on the internet and searched using only the key words "werewolf" and "moon." I remembered what the cover looked like and I found "Beneath a Midnight Moon" by Madeline Baker. Right away I knew it was the book I had loved for all those years. Now, I collect certain romance author's books in hardcover format, but no matter how I look I can't find it in hardcover. I was wondering did "Beneath a Midnight Moon" ever come in hardcover? I really want to reread it and put in in my book collection. Please let me know so I can buy it, or please see if your publisher is interested in reissuing it in hardcover format. I am sure many of your fans would purchase it. Myself included. Thank you, Teresa
Hi Teresa ~ Sorry to hear that your dad threw out your books. As for Beneath a Midnight Moon, as far as I know, it was never available in hardback; at the moment, I don't think it's available in paperback, either. I might have a copy stashed away somewhere. Mandy 11/8/08
Just finished Night's Master and it just ended way too soon!! I've never read an Amanda Ashley book I wasn't wild about. Keep up the good work and keep writing the "night" series, please.
Will do! Night's Pleasure will be in stores on January 2th. Mara's story will followe sometime after that. Mandy 11/4/08
I LIKED TO SAY THAT YOUR MY FAVORITE AUTHER IVE READ 4 OF YOUR BOOKS SO FAR,I LOVED ALL OF THEM,ITS PERFECTLY WRITTEN,THE WAY I LOVE MY BOOKS.I HAVE ALL YOUR VAMPIRE BOOKS ,IM READING THEM ONE BY ONE,IM A WRITER MYSELF.JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW YOUR AWESOME AND A GREAT AUTHER AND WRITER. MARIA
Hi Maria ~ I'm glad to know you're enjoying my books. I love writing them, and I love hearing from my readers. Mandy 11/2/08
Hello Mandy, whatis your favourite book that you have written? And what is your favourite book that you have ever read? Do you have authors you always go to? Thanks Jen 11/02/08
Hi Jen ~ my favorite book is usually the one I'm working on. But if I had to choose one, I'd have to choose 2. Writing as Madeline Baker, my favorite book is probably Reckless Heart, with The Angel and the Outlaw a close 2nd. Writing as Amanda Ashley, my favorite book is probably Embrace the Night, with Shades of Gray a close 2nd.
My favorite authors are Patricia Briggs, Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, Alexis Morgan, and Kay Hooper. Mandy 11/2/08
I would like to know in what order do I read the Vampire books series. Please email me at rtemeralds@yahoo.com with the order Gladys
Hi Gladys ~ Check your inbox. For anyone else who's interested in the reading order, please check further down this column. Mandy HAPPY HALLOWEEN 10/31/08
Hay Amanda! I was currous as to how you got started writing about vampires? If you have it posted somewhere else just drop me the link and I'll go check it out. Thanks Richard Blanchard
Hi Richard ~ I'd been writing westerns for a number of years when the vampire craze started. My agent asked if I'd like to write a short story for a paranormal anthology, and I said sure, and wrote a story titled Masquerade with heavy Phantom of the Opera overtones (My story has been republished in an anthology titled After Twilight). I had such fun writing Masquereade, I wrote a full-length story, Embrace the Night, and I've been writing vampires ever since! Mandy 10/28/08
Hi there I really love your books. I only have one concern I love to read books in order and was wondering if you have any paticular order in which you wrote your books since many charcarters are in the same books. Do I go by the published date or is there another order i should know about. Keep up the good work Cindy
Hi Cindy ~ My vampire books were written in the following order:
1. Embrace the Night
2. Deeper Than the Night
3. Sunlight Moonlight
4. A Darker Dream
5. Shades of Gray
6. Midnight Embrace
7. After Sundown ~ sequel to Shades of Gray
8. A Whisper of Eternity
9. Night’s Kiss
10. Desire After Dark
11. Dead Sexy
12. Night’s Touch ~ sequel to Night’s Kiss
13. Dead Perfect
14. Night’s Master ~ sequel to Night’s Touch
15. Night’s Pleasure (2/09) ~ sequel to Night’s Master
Hope this helps! Mandy 10/21/08
I just finished LAKOTA RENEGADE yet again and it was fabulous. It was the perfect addition to my western vacation. How I have missed those strong Native American men in my life. Got to love those historicals! I'm really not a modern kind of gal. I'll take those historicals any day, to the new modern genre that has taken hold of romances. And the American West is a perfect setting for romance. I was just wondering if you have ever written a story about the hero being the town sheriff and the woman being the outlaw. I have recently been inspired by Belle Star, and other women who did not walk the straight and narrow. A good man may be just what she needs. That sounds like an exciting storyline to me. I would read it.
I love Lakota Renegade! I miss writing about the Old West. I've never written a story where the hero is a sheriff and the heroine is an outlaw, although I seem to recall reading one or two. It makes for good conflict! Cerridwen is supposed to be publishing a historical time travel I wrote. No pub date yet. Mandy 10/13/08
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
Hi Sue ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed Night's Master! And happy to know you like Mara, since she'll soon have her own story. Mandy 10/7/08
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.
