Hollowmen isn't done yet. My goal is to finish it next week and get out to the editor right after that. Then hopefully I can get it out sometime in November. That's the plan right now, but of course, things are subject to change.
With that in mind, here are three things about Hollowmen that I can share:

Hollowland - excerpt (Horror)
1 chapters

updated Sep 24, 2010 06:32am
Description:
"This is the way the world ends; not with a bang or a whimper, but with zombies breaking down the back door."
Nineteen-year-old Remy King is on a mission to get across the wasteland left of America, and nothing will stand in her way - not violent marauders, a spoiled rock star, or an army of flesh-eating zombies.

“since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says
we are for eachother: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis”
― E.E. Cummings

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

I am so completely behind on all the news on my favorite series'. I just read a blog you posted awhile ago about the hate mail you have recieved regarding your choice to keep Alice and Jack together. For what it is worth, I love Jack! I've read and reread the series because he is one of the best characters ever created. On the contrary, I love Peter, too, but for different reasons. It makes me sad, and to be honest, ANGRY as hell, that people who claim to love a series and the author that writes it can be so hateful. I know that no one is perfect, but still... Anyway, just thought I'd state my feelings on the matter since I am rereading the series AGAIN and falling in love with Jack for the third time. :)
I just finished reading hollowland. I love the characters in it and the twists and turns (If this is the way the world ends then we all better strap ourselves in and stay alert because it's going to be one hell of a bumpy ride).
I just started My Blood Approves this morning and I absolutely love it!!! I can't put it down... I wish all your books were in print!
Thank you for adding me to your friend list. Switched is awesome I can't wait for the next one Torn. Would love to talk about books with you. Or any thing else. Would read Swicthed again anytime. :)
Thank you Amanda for the add! You give indie writers like me hope that if you work your butt off and continue to write, that you’ll prove to all those agents who rejected you, that haha, my book was marketable bioch!
Thanks for the connection! I'm thrilled for your success and in awe of you as well!(As you seem to be keeping it together.) Writing helps; I see.Katherine Owen

Amanda, thank you so much for the friendship. I wanted to say huge congrats on all of your success...
Hi Amanda,I just finished Switched. Absolutely loved it! Great work and thanks for writing it. Now I must leave to ravish the rest of the series : )
Just watched your interview on Anderson - you were amazing. I read the Trylle trilogy back in June and loved it, I am so happy for you!
Hello Amanda, and thanks for the add :)I just finished your book, Switched, and I positively loved it. I'm eager to read the second book now. Thank you for giving me a new series to enjoy!
<3 Jill
Hi Amanda. Thanks for becoming my friend :-)I've gotta say, you really inspire me. I'm the same age as you and a paranormal writer to boot. My first novel is coming out next month, but I won't bother you with spammy links - that's totally not my intent.
I also run an author PR firm called Novel Publicity, and your name is constantly being thrown around by the indies I represent and network with. You inspire the lot of us.
Keep up the fabulousness,
Emlyn
Thank you AMANDA:It's great to have you as a friend. My memoir, TO LIVE OR MAYBE NOT is now at Barnes and Noble.
It includes details of my birth in Alabama, youth, high school-Holmes County High School, US Navy Service, music-Hollywood, Memphis, Nashville, Martin Luther King Jr. Assassination Investigation, recording and releasing the single record THEY SLEW THE DREAMER about the MLK assassination.
