The Smallest Part

The Smallest Part, a contemporary friends-to-lovers romance will be released February 13, 2018 and is now available for preorder.

AMAZON KINDLE | BARNES & NOBLE | iBOOKS | KOBO



“In the end, only three things matter. How much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.”
- Unknown

It was a big lie. The biggest lie she’d ever told. It reverberated through her head as she said it, ringing eerily, and the girl behind her eyes—the girl who knew the truth—screamed, and her scream echoed along with the lie.
“Are you in love with Noah, Mercedes?” Cora asked. “I mean . . . I know you love him. You’ve been friends forever. We all have. But are you in love with him?”
If it had been anyone else—anyone—Mercedes would have stuck out her chest, folded her skinny arms, and let her feelings be known. She would have claimed him. But it was Cora. Brave, beautiful, broken Cora, and Cora loved Noah too.
So Mercedes lied.
And with that lie, she lost him. With that lie, she sealed her fate.
She was the best friend, the bridesmaid, the godmother, the glue. She was there for the good times and the bad, the ups and downs, the biggest moments and the smallest parts. And she was there when it all came crashing down.
This is the tale of the girl who didn’t get the guy.

Remember Noah?

Remember Noah?
"Dr. Andelin, a psychologist with a neatly groomed beard that he probably wore to make himself look older, was conducting the group session. He stroked his beard when he was thinking, and it gave him a perpetually melancholy air. He was far too young to be a doctor and way too young to be so serious . . . and sad. He had the saddest eyes I’d ever seen."The Law of Moses

THE SMALLEST PART, Dr. Noah Andelin's story, will be released February 13, 2018 and is now available for preorder on:
AMAZON KINDLE | BARNES & NOBLE | iBOOKS | KOBO



Cover & blurb reveal: December 7, 2017

IMPORTANT: It is not necessary to have read The Law of Moses in order to enjoy The Smallest Part. Both stories stand completely on their own. They are only connected by small cameo appearances of different characters which in no way spoil one another's story. If you don't know who Dr. Noah Andelin is, you can meet him in THE LAW OF MOSES.

Have you been QUEENED?

The Queen and the Cure, the sequel to The Bird and the Sword, is now LIVE.

I am so excited for all of you to go back to Jeru with me. I've been waiting there for you! I wanted to address a couple of questions that keep arising so that you can feel confident about going into this fantasy land with me.

1. Is this a cliffhanger? NO. The Bird and the Sword was a complete story with a beginning and an ending. The Queen and the Cure is ALSO a complete story, but PLEASE read The Bird and the Sword first because it will be spoiled by The Queen and the Cure, which occurs about two years after the first.
2. Do I need to re-read The Bird and the Sword first? No. You will be gently reminded of The Bird and the Sword as The Queen and the Cure progresses. And again, this is an all new story.
3. Who is Kjell? Kjell is the half-brother of Tiras, from The Bird and the Sword. He is captain of the King's Guard, and I promise you will fall in love with him. I can't get over him. He is an ornery and extremely lovable leading man.
4. Is this a romance? YES! The romance is central to the story. It's a heart-pounding love story.
5. Are there paperbacks? YES! The paperback is now available on Amazon and signed copies will be available on my website on June 1st.
6. Will there be an audio book? YES. The audio book is in the works as we speak. I predict a June or early July release. We will be voting on the narrator very soon.
7. Will there be more stories from Jeru? Yes. I can almost guarantee it. But just like the first two in the chronicles, the next story will NOT be a continuation of the first two, but a story all its own.

Happy reading! <3

"I always grieve a little bit when I've finished one of Amy's books because I miss the characters as if they are friends I must say goodbye to--that is the extent to which her characters live and breathe. The Queen and The Cure took this to a whole new level and it will live in my heart always. Emotional, vivid, lush, heart wrenching and heart healing. One of my favorite books ever."
-- Mia Sheridan, New York Times bestselling author

"I am in love with this universe Amy Harmon has created. I am addicted to the richness of the world, the mythology. Pair that with her beautifully drawn characters, an achingly tender and heartbreaking love story, and you have a breathtaking tale of epic proportions, one which I will be re-reading over and over and over."
-- Penny Reid, USA Today bestselling author

"The Queen and The Cure is breathtaking. This book isn't a read, it's an adventure. And the romance . . . the romance was beguiling! We loved everything about this book."
-- Jenny & Gitte, Totally Booked Blog

"The Queen and The Cure is simply enchanting, mesmerizing, bewitching and beguiling as the world of the Gifted is brought to life in stunning technicolor and incredible believability. A fairy tale of legendary proportions. Interwoven with a breathtaking romance that will capture even the hardest of hearts."
-- Donna, The Romance Cover

Check out the full wrap!

There will be a battle, and you will need to protect your heart.

Kjell of Jeru had always known who he was. He'd never envied his brother or wanted to be king. He was the bastard son of the late King Zoltev and a servant girl, and the ignominy of his birth had never bothered him.
But there is more to a man than his parentage. More to a man than his blade, his size, or his skills, and all that Kjell once knew has shifted and changed. He is no longer simply Kjell of Jeru, a warrior defending the crown. Now he is a healer, one of the Gifted, and a man completely at odds with his power.
Called upon to rid the country of the last vestiges of the Volgar, Kjell stumbles upon a woman who has troubling glimpses of the future and no memory of the past. Armed with his unwanted gift and haunted by regret, Kjell becomes a reluctant savior, beset by old enemies and new expectations. With the woman by his side, Kjell embarks upon a journey where the greatest test may be finding the man she believes him to be.

"Amy Harmon's love stories never cease to touch my heart, but From Sand and Ash touched my soul. Just a gorgeous masterpiece of a book."
-- Mia Sheridan, New York Times bestselling author

"I was mesmerized. It felt completely and utterly authentic, painstakingly balanced between history and fiction and faith. I barely took a breath."
-- Katy Regnery, New York Times bestselling author

"Beautiful and luscious. Tragic and harrowing. War. Love. Faith. Gorgeous prose around historical details. A Panzer tank through your heart, leaving dirt and rubble through which poppies bloom."
-- Suanne Laqueur, Award-winning author of An Exaltation of Larks

Italy, 1943—Germany occupies much of the country, placing the Jewish population in grave danger during World War II.

As children, Eva Rosselli and Angelo Bianco were raised like family but divided by circumstance and religion. As the years go by, the two find themselves falling in love. But the church calls to Angelo and, despite his deep feelings for Eva, he chooses the priesthood.

Now, more than a decade later, Angelo is a Catholic priest and Eva is a woman with nowhere to turn. With the Gestapo closing in, Angelo hides Eva within the walls of a convent, where Eva discovers she is just one of many Jews being sheltered by the Catholic Church.

But Eva can’t quietly hide, waiting for deliverance, while Angelo risks everything to keep her safe. With the world at war and so many in need, Angelo and Eva face trial after trial, choice after agonizing choice, until fate and fortune finally collide, leaving them with the most difficult decision of all.

A sweeping, epic story of love, war, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Paperback Re-release of MAKING FACES

MAKING FACES is now available at your local bookstore with never before seen BONUS CONTENT, published by Spencer Hill Press: AMAZON | BARNES & NOBLE

Also available in E-BOOK and AUDIO



"Making Faces reminds us of morals that are all too often forgotten or lost in modern life. The underlying story of heroism and courage had me rooting for the unconventional hero and inevitably crushed me. Beauty may be skin deep, but this story is deep on such a level that it will stay with you for a long, long time."
-- A Love Affair With Books

"Absolutely spellbinding, heartbreaking, emotional and powerful. Mere words don't do justice to the experience I was afforded in Making Faces."
-- Totally Booked Blog

"Everyone should read this book. This is the kind of unforgettable story that sinks into your heart and doesn't let go. I can't recommend it highly enough."
-- Aestas Book Blog



Ambrose Young was beautiful. He was tall and muscular, with hair that touched his shoulders and eyes that burned right through you. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She'd been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have . . . until he wasn't beautiful anymore.

Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity. It is the tale of one girl's love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior's love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast, where we discover that there is a little beauty and a little beast in all of us.

Now available online and at your local bookstore with never before seen BONUS CONTENT, published by Spencer Hill Press: AMAZON | BARNES & NOBLE
