Scene Song Saturday– “Eyes on Fire”
Enchanted Moon’s (Moon Magick Book II) April release is on the horizon and Stealing Dusk (Pararealm Book II) will soon follow.
For very different scenes, this song begged for my attention.
In Enchanted Moon, this music matches what Ailyn feels in her belly as she faces her worst fears in the black moment, where she must wear the mantle of her destiny.
In Stealing Dusk, Lyric hears this beat in his soul the first time he sees his love interest in the bloodsport ring. She’s his best friend’s ex-flame, a half breed changeling smuggler who takes him by complete surprise. He thought he knew her.
No one really did until now.
You might recognize it from a little film called Twilight.
Enjoy!

Scene Song Saturday–”What The Water Gave Me”
In Enchanted Moon, water is big theme. It is through water that Ailyn penetrates the veil between Fae and Man. It is at the lip of a cliff that she must face the crashing ocean waves below all in the name of love.
Florence and the Machine is by far my Muse, Milla’s, favorite go to artist when she (we) need to feel and hear and smell the story. Nearly any song by them gets my fingers itching to type.
There is no official video yet, but this one has a beautiful image that reminds my of Ailyn and also shows the lyrics.
Enjoy!
Here’s to a weekend drenched in creativity and anticipation!
Luv, Amber
PS: Enchanted Moon, if all goes according to plan, shall release April or earlier.

Scene Song Saturday–"Clumsy"
In honor of Feb. 3rd's Bestseller For a Day, here is a song I set on repeat while writing my contribution to the anthology of Valentine's Day stories. What better story than a fan extra of Stupid Cupid herself, Millie Match, right? It's called "Love Notion #9″
(For all you Moon Magick addicts, I have a separate short just for you coming soon, too. It'll be a secret coded page and all. Stay tuned….)
Now, Millie, to be clear, is one pitiful excuse for a Cupid, but then it wouldn't be a punishment for her wrongs in life if it was an easy gig. Not only is she required to match individuals with their true love, she's head over heels for her partner in time–AJ. (Picture Richard Grieco or Billy Zane here.)
This song is just about how Millie feels…
I adore the whole pop-up thing in the video, and that guy? So Yum!
Hope to see you Friday because the anthology plus a few more titles will be FREE to celebrate the event's one year birthday. I'll be the one eating the cake.

Hump Day Updates–Some Kind of Wonderful!
One of my HOT Club's top HOTees and an all around generous and fun author, Patricia Terrell, gave me this award.
She's pretty wonderful and the award is pretty wonderful, too. So today's updates shall come in the form of a list of things I find just, well, wonderful. :)
1. The HOT Club–From Chester to Delphina to Sherrikki, I dare anyone to prove they have cooler fans. This secret Facebook group is my fave place to duck in while procrastinating word count, burning dinner or about to say goodnight. Thank you HOTees, for making my day every day.
2. The Indie Book Collective–How on earth did I get so lucky as to meet Carolyn McCray and help her found this group. I can't even begin to measure all I've learned thanks to her and this group. Feb. 3rd marks the Bestseller For a Day 1st birthday and "8 Hearts Beat as One" will be headlining this event. It's a Valentine's anthology that will give you all sorts of warm fuzzies and sighs. AND all this week, the 2nd annual Blog Tour de Force "Get Loaded" tour is feeding fans with free ebooks, chances to win and a scavenger hunt. Today's stop is Chelsea Fine with her latest release "Anew". If you're a Twi-hard like me, you'll eat this baby up! Every comment is a win.
3. "The Sweetest Fling", book two in the Stupid Cupid series is on the release list and, barring any hiccups, will be out by Feb. 3rd to help out Bestseller For a Day. This event is going to be special because we're celebrating the program's birthday by going FREE. Sweet! (I heart free.)
4. I now get to nominate three blogs I think are wonderful! My nominees are….
-I Smell Sheep...Baaaaaa!
-Close Encounters With The Night Kind…so pretty and I drool on Erik.
-Rachel in the OC…snarkalicious!
It's a wonderful start to another wonderful year. So tell me, what is wonderful in your world today?
PS: Who else freaking loved that kiss scene from the movie Some Kind of Wonderful? HOT!!

Scene Song Saturday…er…Sunday! "Not Over You"
Okay. Let's be honest here. I should be recovered from the holidays and back to a normal rhythm. Gah!
By next week, we'll see how that goes.
The Sweetest Fling is the latest, and long awaited, release. It shall be out in two short weeks and I promise to spread the word fast. I've heard rumors about a "Free Par-tay" I will say this: Plans are that both Play Fling and The Sweetest Fling will be in it. Millie up to her doomed cupid antics again!
The Sweetest Fling is not about the one that got away so much as the one Jace cannot, should not love. Because his brother does, too. Or, does he just think he does?
We'll have to see what Millie can do to get this one right? In honor of Jace and Claire's story, here's the song that really encompasses it….
Thank you all for all your amazing support in 2011. Here's to another amazing year with lots more songs (and books) to come.

Humpday Updates-Told Me So??
For all the fans that told me so...
Several years ago, when Irish Moon was in its infant stages, my critique partner Karen said the words that changed something…"I couldn't wait to get home and read it. I literally can't put this one down, Amber."
Now, Karen, being a most excellent critique partner, is no easy win. I know I've nailed a book when she begins to actually like it. And over the years as I hemmed and hawed over whether or not to keep the Moon Magick series going, Karen is the one who encouraged me most. Then I re-released Irish Moon indie one year ago.
Along came Kelli M. and Cindelena and a whole slew of other HOT Club members up to newest HOTees Delphina M. and Patricia T. who love Irish Moon. *wave*
Of course, I love my book baby, too. Finn, the enchanted cat within the pages is to date my all time fave character. I miss Finn! But I'm biased. And I'm an author. Which means the doubt demons come a-knocking every time I sit down to write. #noreally #scary
So, to every reader who ever said, "I love Irish Moon" I'm here to say, thank you, you were right and I am so, so happy that you 'told me so'. In fact, I hope you'll grab this pic and splash your bragging rights all over. You deserve it. Why???
Because…
As of this posting, Irish Moon is #7 on the Top 100 Kindle free titles and sitting next to some legends like Sherlock Holmes and Jane Austin. Whaaaat??? WOW. Just…wow! All thanks to readers like you!!
Cheers to such a gigantic milestone for it. And while this is not necessarily related, I'm also pleased to announce the new winner of the big swag pack of books from the ECWC….
Kelli B.!!!!!
I wish you all the very happiest of holidays. 2012 will be the year of book two's and shall kick off with Stupid Cupid book 2, The Sweetest Fling. I'll keep you posted!
Hugs, Amber
