HIDDEN HEART is here!
For those who've read HIDDEN DEEP (or want to!) I'm thrilled to tell you the sequel is now available at these lovely online retailers:
APPLE/IBOOKS- https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id996604264
AMAZON- http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V5GROMA
KOBO- https://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/hidden-heart-8
and soon to come at B & N!
Already getting some great reviews over at Goodreads. :)
Here's a little preview of the story:
17-year-old Ryann Carroll thought she knew who she was… a small-town Southern girl just trying to survive her parents’ messy divorce and find some peace for herself. She thought she knew what she wanted… a summer job, a car, a first date that didn’t suck, and NO complications from a serious relationship—any guy in her life would simply be icing on the cake.
But now… she’s not only in love, her boyfriend Lad is a member of a secret race that’s lived secretly among humans for thousands of years, mentioned only in flawed and fading folklore. Things could hardly get more complicated than that.
More importantly, she’s learned the world’s top celebrities… those actors, musicians, athletes, and politicians who seem a little too beautiful and talented to be true… actually are. They’re not human, and they’re using their glamour and the increasing popularity of fan pods to control more and more humans. But why?
With her best friend Emmy leaving soon to join the fan pod of a famous actor, Ryann has to find out the answer. And she can’t do it alone. But after a shocking murder, Lad can no longer fight his destiny or his duty, and Ryann’s not sure whether his top priority is their relationship or his people.
In this second book of the Hidden Trilogy, true friendship will take Ryann from rural Mississippi to the glittering city of Los Angeles. And true love will take her to places she never expected to go…
**Grab your copy today and Give in to the Glamour of the Hidden Trilogy (again)** :)
AND to celebrate my new release, HIDDEN DEEP, book 1, is on sale for only 99 cents! So if you've been curious about the series, now's a great time to check it out.

Faery Tale Fun
The Faery Tales bundle is off to a great start, getting lots of downloads -- at only 99 cents for 6 brand new novellas-- and some great early reviews, too.
Here's a little about the stories in the bundle:
THE MORRIGAN – Phaedra Weldon
Irish folklore student Tam Kirkpatrick finds himself the focus of dark Faery forces intent on stealing his shillelagh. The catch is—Tam never knew he had one, let alone that he was the son of a Leprechaun. Now he must find his shillelagh and claim his heritage, before it’s too late.
THE SWAY – Amy Patrick
A member of the Dark Court, Vancia has spent her life among humans—together but separate, hiding in plain sight. Now Pappa says it’s time to put her glamour to use against the unsuspecting humans and worse, agree to an arranged political marriage with the reclusive Light Elven prince.
HOW TO BABYSIT A CHANGELING– USA Today bestselling author Anthea Sharp
When a mortal boy is exchanged for a hideous faerie creature, Marny Fanalua steps up to help her friends in their battle against the Dark Court.
*NOTE * The events in this novella occur simultaneously with Feyland: The Twilight Kingdom. Reading the complete Feyland Trilogy first is recommended if you would like to avoid spoilers.
FAELEAHN – Jenna Elizabeth Johnson
Meghan and Cade are ready to pledge their souls to one another in a traditional bonding ceremony of Eile. While sharing their news with friends, the faelah bounty hunter and the princess of Erintara grow even closer as their love is reflected back to them by those they hold most dear.
*NOTE* The events in this novella take place after the conclusion of Luathara, the third book in the Otherworld Trilogy. If you wish to avoid spoilers, you might want to read the first three Otherworld books (Faelorehn, Dolmarehn and Luathara) before reading.
ARRANGED – Julia Crane
Magick’s been restored on earth but it comes at a crippling price. With the planet on the brink of destruction, an unlikely pair must work together to try to bridge together a lifetime of hatred. Will their forbidden romance bring their worlds together or tear them apart?
WITHOUT ARMOR – Alexia Purdy
The Unseelie are up to no good… My name is Benton, and I hunt the darkest of creatures in existence. Especially when they get unruly and try to invade my home, the human realm. Betrayal, broken hearts and uncharted magic…I never saw it coming.

A cover reveal for Letting Go by Jessica Ruddick
I met Jessica when we became 2014 Golden Heart finalists together– the Dreamweavers class– we’re both Dauntless Young Adult category finalists. 
And now I’m so excited to be able the share the cover of her debut novel LETTING GO with you!! First, check out the blurb: How long do you hold on? Cori Elliott likes order. Her schedule, her social life…even her GPA is perfect. Then she finds out her high school boyfriend’s death wasn’t an accident—it was suicide. The devastating revelation is enough to fracture her perfectly structured life, sending Cori in a downward spiral of self-doubt and impulsive decisions. And right into the arms of Luke Evans. But Cori’s life isn’t perfect anymore. In fact, it’s all coming apart. The only way she can save herself is to let go of everything—including the girl she used to be. Even if it means losing the one guy who might just be perfect for her in the process… And here’s the cover lovely-ness!! 
LETTING GO releases May 26, so not long to wait!! Add it to Goodreads here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23302058-letting-go?from_search=true
And here’s a little about Jessica (who’s a sweetie pie)… 
About the Author: Jessica Ruddick is a 2014 Golden Heart finalist for her new adult novel, Letting Go, which was inspired by her own college experiences. She lives in Virginia and is married to her college sweetheart—their first date was a fraternity toga party (and nothing inspires love like a toga, right?). When she doesn’t have her nose in a book or her hands on a keyboard, she can be found wrangling her two rambunctious sons, taming two rowdy but lovable rescue dogs, and battling the herd of dust bunnies that has taken up residence in her home. To learn more about Jessica, please visit her website at www.jessicaruddick.com. Here’s where you can connect with Jessica: Website │ Twitter │ Facebook │ Goodreads And before we go, one last and FULL SIZE look at Letting Go! Hugs, Amy

See the HIDDEN DEEP book trailer!
Guess what?? HIDDEN DEEP has a book trailer! Okay, so maybe the post title gave the surprise away, but I’m so excited to show it to you. Making it took a looooong time, because I’m not the most techie person, but it was actually fun, and I kinda love the end result. One of my many day jobs is doing voiceover work for TV and radio ads and corporate videos, so I did my own voiceover here. I was going for *mysterious*. What do you think? Did I get it?
Here’s the YouTube link so you can check it out:
