Untamed is officially available for preorder! You can grab it here for those who prefer Amazon, or here for other retailers. Some sites won’t be available until the final manuscript is uploaded, which is expected by February 20th, so you’ll still have time to grab it at the discounted price prior to release.

I have to tell you, Untamed has already reached a higher ranking than any of my other book!! What?! So if you want to help this indie author achieve some big goals this year, preordering and sharing are some of the biggest ways to do that. You can also add it to your Want To Read on Goodreads. I am eternally grateful for all of your support!

I’m hoping to have print preorders available soon, just waiting on finalizing some of the goodies that will go with it!

ARC Acceptance emails have started going out and I hope to be completely through the 600+ applications by the end of January! There has been insane interest for this book, which is equal parts exciting and terrifying. I always hope to put out the best version of a book that I can, but the pressure is definitely on this time.

That said, I’m really excited with where it is right now. Next week the manuscript will be heading to my editor and then it will be a mad dash to get it through everything lined up prior to ARCs being sent mid February!

When I was looking at goal setting for this year, I approached them from a place of manifesting. And, in conjunction with the 13 Magical Nights, these looked like “I am” or “I have” statements versus “I want” or “I hope”.

One thing that continued to come to the forefront was the frustration that I had last year with feeling like I wasn’t getting enough reading time in. I was working hard at building a backlist and focused on writing, so reading took a huge dive.

So it’s no surprise that one of these manifestations was “I value all of my reading”, as I came to realize all of the reading that I do with my children, homeschooling or otherwise, in addition to the alpha and beta reads I perform, and the numerous times I read through my own manuscripts is still reading.

I am making sure to set aside time for “pleasure” reading this year, in addition to valuing the other ways that I’m getting reading in. And I hope to share some of my favorite finds with you, as well!

Do you have a reading goal this year?

It’s time to start accepting ARC applications for the Garden of Desires Collection!

If you’re new here, this collection of standalone novels and novellas features stories connected by a captivating theme: flowers! Each book stands entirely on its own and prominently features one flower as a powerful, central element. Open-door spice is guaranteed—some stories going all the way dark.

Basic details for each book are included on the main page, but make sure to read all of the details for any of the ARCs that you sign up for. They vary in the make up of love interests, darkness, spice, and more. Additionally, some applications are for more advanced teams like permanent ARC or street teams. You can apply for as few or as many as you like.

A Love Not Forgotten, my book in the collection, may be the lightest of the bunch, but it does cover sensitive topics (because I can’t help myself). While some of the books by other authors are related to their other works, this book is a true standalone. It doesn’t crossover with Bull Creek at all.

Wondering where to grab my books locally?

Check out these indie bookstores!

Most of these have signed options with goodies! You can also purchase directly from my website for signed books.

If you haven’t already, make sure to grab the When the Smoke Clears bonus chapter here!

XOXO, Amanda
