The Brain Brains On: From “Hey, Roomie!” to… Something Else

I did it. I finished my third novel! Hey, Roomie! is officially done, polished, and prepped for release on May 5th—which means it’s time to bask in the glow of accomplishment, sip something celebratory, and… oh, wait. Because while I was supposed to be taking a much-needed break, my brain had other plans. Apparently, it didn’t get the memo about resting, recharging, or, you know, just chilling for a second. Nope. Instead, it decided to…

Hey, Roomie! Cover Reveal and Synopsis

But when his sudden death pulls her into a web of secrecy, she realizes normalcy was never in the cards.

Juggling Life, Business, and Books: The Great Return of Ametra

Hey there, lovely readers (what’s left of you)! Yes, it’s me, your friendly neighborhood author, returning from the mysterious void of silence in the blogosphere. You probably thought I’d forgotten all about you while sipping cocktails on some exotic beach, but I assure you, I’ve been up to some quite interesting shenanigans. It’s high time I gave you the lowdown on where I’ve been and what’s been brewing in the world of Ametra. First things…

Expanded Distribution – The Aftermath

Obviously, I’ve been away for a while. I haven’t, however, been idle. The covers for both Duality and Vitae have been redone, and the e-book versions can be purchased via the Apple Store, Barnes & Noble, Scribd, and others. I am so thrilled! How did this happen? Well, if you’ve been paying attention, this shouldn’t come as a shock at all. I laid out my research and findings in previous posts, and also explained that…

Fancy Meeting You Here!

It’s been a while since last I graced your screen. Things have been incredibly busy and Time just slipped away from me. However, I am on vacation for the next several days and the first thing I wanted to be sure to do is check in here and make sure that you know I’m still around. I’m currently juggling multiple non-writing projects in addition to working on my third novel.I’ve also made some decisions with…

What Dreams Are Made Of

I am grateful and blessed to be able to share that DUALITY  has been named a 2019 IAN Book of the Year Awards Finalist in the category of Fiction: Paranormal/Supernatural. The ability to coherently state how amazing an honor this is escapes me. DUALITY is my first novel and to have it (and me) recognized in such a way is a milestone I’ve longed dreamed to reach. Some of you may know that my intention…

There’s More Where That Came From

Friday, November 8, 2019. That is the date the current edition of DUALITY will be removed from Amazon in both Kindle and paperback formats to make way for the updated second edition to be released on Sunday, November 10, 2019. The second edition will have a number of cosmetic/formatting changes on the outside and inside of the book; and, though I am hoping that VITAE will also be released on the same day, I am…

Great Storms That Begin Small

I have spent the last month or so doing my best to get my life right. I don’t mean that on any dramatic, over-the-top, monumental scale. I only mean in terms of writing, working on my “brand,” and finalizing plans for future projects. It is a lot. That is definitely not an over-exaggeration; I actually do have a lot on my plate. And, it’s fantastic! That is not a complaint at all. I am absolutely…

More to Come!

One year ago, Always Ametra was launched. I realized that it was time to write in my own voice and under my own name, and though I wasn’t sure how long of a journey this would be, I still wanted to follow through. Since then, SO many wonderful things have happened. I’ll share them all as the time comes, but I’m glad to focus on a couple of them for now. My debut novel, Duality, is…

Very Special Announcement

A mistake, albeit it one that I’ve come to appreciate and squeal over for the last hour or so, has caused the paperback version of Duality to be made available on Amazon ahead of the November 10 publication date. I cannot change this and I’ve decided that I wouldn’t if I could. I will instead take it, run with it, scream over it (flailing hands, included), and share the news! The Kindle version is available…
