			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s something about finishing a project that&#8217;s both exciting and a little depressing. On the one hand, you have a finished manuscript that&#8217;s almost ready to share with others. On the other hand, you&#8217;re saying goodbye to characters you poured a little bit of yourself into and spent so much time creating. In the last day or so I&#8217;ve finished my current work in progress, a friends-to-lovers themed novella called Windfall.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a sneak peek at the rough blurb:</p>
<p>Landon and Daniel have been best friends since grade school. Through thick and thin, they’ve always been able to rely on each other. So it only seems natural for Landon to step in and offer assistance when Daniel has a run of bad luck.</p>
<p>Moving in together and splitting the bills seems like a simple solution to Daniel’s financial problems. However, sharing close quarters makes it difficult to keep less than platonic feelings on the down low.</p>
<p>The line between friends and lovers blurs during a late night moment of weakness fueled by alcohol, leaving both men on uneven ground. Just when they think they have things worked out and might have a shot at something more than friendship, a sudden, shared windfall provokes all new complications that could end more than the new physical side of their relationship.</p>
<p><strong><strong> </strong></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Are you dying to get your hands on a copy of my latest release, Recession, but running a little short on cash this month? Do you enjoy sharing your opinion about the books you read on Amazon, Goodreads, or your own blog or website? If so, I have an offer for you. I would love to see more reviews of Recession and I have review copies available for those who&#8217;d like them. All I need is your assurance that you&#8217;ll read the book and write an honest review. If you love it, great. If you don&#8217;t, that&#8217;s okay too. I understand reading is subjective and there&#8217;s no story out there that&#8217;ll be loved by everyone. My goal is just to get my book into the hands of a few people who&#8217;d like to read it and to help spread the word about my new story.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in reviewing Recession, you can email me at AuthorAmandaYoungATgmail.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s no big secret that I like to read. Its been my favorite pastime since I started borrowing my grandma&#8217;s romance novels when I was a kid. I read a little bit of everything, but my first love is always going to be romance novels. I love that peek into each new character&#8217;s mind when they&#8217;re right on the verge of falling in love. There&#8217;s nothing like it.</p>
<p>Lately I&#8217;ve been fascinated by Mpreg stories - tales where the man (or one of the men) in the relationship is the one who ends up pregnant. They&#8217;re new and unusual enough to spark my imagination. Since it&#8217;s such a strange topic there aren&#8217;t a lot of stories out there. I thought I would take a moment to share some of my favorites with you all. Some of them are published, some aren&#8217;t. I&#8217;ll share links for them all though so anyone who&#8217;s interested can check these stories out for themselves.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.amandayoung.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/13432295.thumbnail.jpg" alt="13432295.jpg" /> Love&#8217;s Crash Landing by <span itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"><span class="authorName"><span itemprop="name">Amylea Lyn</span></span></span></p>
<p>What&#8217;s a simple farmer to do when an alien crash-lands in his cornfield? Try to keep the little guy safe from the government, all while trying not to fall in love with his guest while he&#8217;s at it. It may not be as easy as he originally thought.</p>
<p>Gavin Howard lives a simple life on his farm, keeping to himself and staying under the radar. That is all changed late one night when a spaceship crash-lands in his cornfield. So what is a simple farmer to do when he finds an injured alien lying in his back yard? Take it inside and care for it until it can &#8220;phone home,&#8221; of course.</p>
<p>But Prince Mi&#8217;Kel Ta&#8217;Rulen is not what Gavin expected. Beautiful, gentle, and on a mission to save his dying planet, Mi&#8217;Kel needs Gavin&#8217;s help for more than just his injuries. Can Gavin help Mi&#8217;Kel find the solution to save his people all while keeping the little alien safe from the Earth governments hunting him?</p>
<p>Gavin finds himself falling in love with the being from outer space, but can he find it in his heart to let the little alien go when Mi&#8217;Kel&#8217;s ship is finally fixed? Or will Mi&#8217;Kel&#8217;s secrets drive them apart when the alien needs his farmer the most?</p>

Lael was on his way to meet his soul mate, the woman his Heart String chose for him. To his surprise it is not a woman his Heart String has chosen for him.<br />

Karma has it in for Moswen. Trouble follows him around like a demented, faithful dog. Moswen never means for things to happen the way they do. It just does. And while things may seem bad at first, everything eventually works out for the best even if the road to getting there is a less than a smooth ride.</p>
<p>While fleeing his sister&#8217;s wrath for an accident that was almost not his fault, Moswen stumbles upon the chance to crash what promises to be a fun party.</p>
<p>Kijika is hopeful that the birthday bash for his grandfather, the current king, won&#8217;t be the deadly boring event he&#8217;s sure it will be and he&#8217;d much rather be pouring over ancient texts in his quest for knowledge. Moswen&#8217;s karma swings into action and Moswen and Kijika cross paths at the party setting in motion a relationship that will give both men what they most desire.</p>

<p>Here’s my problem, folks. My name is Mackenzie Scott and I’m a normal guy. The most exciting thing about me is my addiction to Belgian chocolates. I work nine to five at a law firm, and I have a crush on my gorgeous boss, Julian Hayes. But what’s life without a little unrequited love, right?</p>
<p>Then how in the world did the man I’ve wanted for two years end up bending me over his desk? Worse, what’s all this about him being an incubus? Why do I suddenly have hooves? And what’s this obsession about fondling my new horn?</p>
<p>I think I’m going to be sick. Well, that might be just because of indigestion. I hear unicorns don’t digest Belgian chocolates well. Seriously, I’m going to kill Julian. Wait… I can’t. I love him. I guess I’m just going to have to live with it. How hard can it be?</p>

<p align="center">Garrett has fallen on tough times. Once a construction worker, he now  depends on the desires of others to feed his little brother and keep a  roof over their heads. As one of the many rent boys at Chicken Ranch,  Garrett lives in constant fear, torn between making enough money to  survive and getting busted for doing something illegal and immoral to  pay the bills.</p>
<p align="center">Miller is a workaholic with a chip on his shoulder. It isn’t until  his beloved Grandma passes away that Miller dares to temporarily return  home to the town he despises. Once there, he faces a surprise  inheritance that causes more problems than solutions and the man he left  behind to pursue his dreams.</p>
<p align="center">Their reunion comes with an abundance of complications and old  feelings. Bitterness and anger swiftly turn into desire and a rekindled  love that threatens more than their hearts. Things take a turn for the  worst when Miller provokes a threat to Garrett’s custody of his little  brother. Having already lost Garrett to familial obligations once,  Miller fears they’re doomed to repeat the past, only this time Garrett  will be the one who’ll walk away.</p>
