Oops, I did it again?
by Amanda Arista

Year of Genesis: The Truth About Blood.

So I did it again. I published another book in 2020. The second in The Merci Lanard Files, The Truth about Blood.

Talk about a year of genesis. In keeping with the theme of this year, I thought I might tell you why I love this sequel as much as I loved the first one. Why creating this one really was special.

Quotes by Amanda Arista (?)

“I wondered if it was part of his superhero package: quick healing, überstrength, superspeed, and the ability to leap over problems in our relationship in a single bound.”

“I looked up at the waxing moon and felt the stir of the cat in my chest. I wasn’t the Violet Jordan who ran anymore. I was the Violet Jordan who threw drinks in men’s faces and threw senseis across the room. I was the Violet Jordan who dated male models.”
― Amanda Arista, Diaries of an Urban Panther

Amanda’s Quotes

“I told graduates to not be afraid to fail, and I still believe that. But today I tell you that whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come. The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.”
