A peek into my twisted mind

July 21st, 2010 by Amanda Young

I have a brand new interview out. Michele, from Michele N Jeff Reviews, was kind enough to interview me for their blog. If you want to hear more about me(like what’s under my bed), then make sure you swing by the blog and check it out. Michele’s questions were really fun to answer.

First review for Reckless Heart

July 19th, 2010 by Amanda Young

ay_recklessheart_covertn.jpg I’m thrilled to share a snippet from the first review of Reckless Heart, the fourth and final installment of the Reckless series. Jenre, via Reviews by Jessewave, says the following about the story:

“The final book in the Reckless series sees bratty Milo being brought to his knees by the serious Cam, and a HEA that will appeal greatly to the fans of this series.”

For those interested, you can read the rest of the review here: http://www.reviewsbyjessewave.com/?p=27017

TGIF Interview … Viki Lyn

July 16th, 2010 by Amanda Young

vl_lastchance_coverlg.jpg Please welcome Viki Lyn to the blog, author of Ryan’s Harbor and Last Chance.  Thank you for agreeing to answer my nosy questions and share them with everyone visiting today.Q: To begin, please share which genre(s) you write in…

A: I write m/m romance, a new genre for me and one that I fell in love with after my first story was written. Also, I’ve written a paranormal romance epic with angels and priestesses (not yet found a home for it). Paranormal is also a new genre that I began to explore over a year ago. My first published books are historical romances under another pen name.

Q: How long did you write before you received your first contract for publication?

A: About six years of writing short stories and fan fics. It took me a while to learn how to write a decent story and I’m still learning the craft. It’s a long term study and an arduous process, but I find it challenging and fun, so I keep doing it!

Q: Out of all the stories you’ve written, which is your favorite?

A: This is a hard one because each story is unique (I hope, anyway! LOL). Last Chance flowed easier than others, and I love twisting the vampire mythos into a world I specifically created. There is a special place in my heart for my ‘straight’ gay romances (traditional) because I love to read them.

Q: Do you need to be in a specific place or atmosphere before the words flow?

A: No, and I move around a lot - I have a laptop and I’m always taking it to the local coffee house, or plopping it on my kitchen table where there is more sunlight than my office, or perching it on my lap while watching the golf or football.

Q: If you could offer one tidbit of information for new writers, what would it be?

A: Keep at it! That’s it…if you have a passion for writing then that will carry you through the tough times. Even though I’ve been published I still get rejections, writer’s block, self-doubt creepy crawlies, all that stuff that plagues new writers, too. It’s my love of the creative process that keeps me going, and hearing from my readers.

Q: Name one thing readers would be surprised to learn about you. Read the rest of this entry »
