Announcing Believe in Me - Jett's new book & Cover Reveal

Pre-order your copy on Amazon! 
You guys! I've been working hard on the new series now that Summer Unplugged is over. I'm happy to announce that Jett's first book, called Believe in Me, will be out in May! Also, it is a FULL LENGTH NOVEL, not a novella, so it's about three times longer than the average SU book! 
This new series is set 13 years after the conclusion of Summer Unplugged, when Jett is a teenager who is navigating his first love. Read the blurb below to find out about it:
Jett Adams is the fastest sixteen-year-old motocross racer in the state. Growing up as the kid prodigy of famous racer Jace Adams, Jett has lived in a world of dirt bikes, money, and everything he could ever want. With more than enough girls to choose from, Jett prefers to stay single and live in the moment. 

Keanna Byrd’s life has been one broken home after another. When her mom dumps her with the Parks for the weekend, Keanna is pretty sure her mom may never come back. Now she’s stuck overstaying her welcome with Park and Becca, who are nice enough, but she doesn’t exactly know them. 

The Parks own a dirt bike track with the Adams and while Keanna is waiting on her mom to return, she spends a lot of time hanging out alone. Jett is under strict orders to make her feel welcome, but they’re from two different worlds and everything he does seems to get under her skin. Keanna has known guys like Jett before and she’s smart enough to stay away from someone whose looks can get him anything he wants. After just a few days, Jett can’t stop thinking about her. But if he wants her to see him as anything other than some cocky rich guy, he’ll have to show her his true feelings and make her believe in him.
Available for pre-order on Amazon now!

What to do while waiting for Jett!

Some of you have been going crazy waiting on Jett's book to come out, and in a weird way that only a writer can understand, I kind of love when my readers are crazy? Not that I love when you're suffering, but getting a ton of emails from my readers who are dying for the next book always makes me happy to do what I do. You guys are SO awesome for loving my books and anxiously waiting for the next one!

What I can tell you is that Jett's book will be out this summer and the cover and title reveal will happen in a couple of months! You can follow my newsletter to get an email when the preorder is up (https://tinyletter.com/AmySparling) and check back here or on my Twitter or Facebook for the cover reveal. (Cover reveal will probably come before the preorder)

So what to do while you're waiting?



Have you read City of Legends yet? It's my teen superhero series that's out with Alloy Entertainment, the people who brought you Pretty Little Liars, Vampire Diaries, The 100 and more. It's written under my other author name but I know you'll love it! So check it out, if you haven't already and be sure to tell me what you think!



One of my favorite authors Christina Channelle has a couple of great series that you'll like. They recently got pretty new covers and I loooooove them. Also I'm pretty sure they're on kindle unlimited so you can read them for free if you have a subscription! 

Read Dahlia here.

Read Those Four Letter Words here.

You can also hang out with me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to kill the time! As of today I am all caught up on emails as well. So if you sent me an email and haven't received a reply yet, send it again because something went wrong. Okay, I have to jump back into the writing cave because Jett's book won't write itself... but that would be so cool if it did.

Announcing Book 10 - Winter Whirlwind

Today is a bittersweet post. But it's mostly sweet! Here's the cover for the tenth and final Summer Unplugged book. Yep. This epic series is finally coming to an end. I started writing the first book back in 2012 and it was a fun project that I wrote for me, and I had no intention of it ever going anywhere. And then the readers fell in love with Jace and Bayleigh and begged for more, and well, you know the rest of the story.

Winter Whirlwind will be published around March 1st. (Maybe sooner) And that will be the conclusion to Jace and Bayleigh's story. But don't fret! I have exciting news....

In April, I'm releasing a brand new spin-off series, set 15 years into the future. Want to know what happens to Jett, as he grows up in the shadow of his father's motocross legacy? Because this series is his! We'll see what happened to The Track, if Jace and Bayleigh are still together, and we'll learn which personality trains Jett has picked up from his parents, all while he navigates dealing with his first crush.

Be sure to sign up for my mailing lisst (there's a link to the right >>) to be the first to know when the new series is released!

And thank you all so much for being such wonderful fans of the series! I love you all!

COVER REVEAL for Autumn Awakening

I'm excited to unveil the cover for the 9th book in the Summer Unplugged Series! WOW, nine books! I can't believe my readers have wanted this many books about Jace and Bayleigh! Book 9 will deal with Jace opening his new business and Bayleigh learning to handle all the press and media attention because of it.

Book 10 will be about Jett's first birthday party! Pre-orders and more info will come soon.

Tell me what you think about the cover in the comments!

It's an Audiobook Summer

Because it's summer and school's out, I think it's a great time to listen to audio books. I listen to them constantly in my car or while working out and with Audible's app, you can listen on your phone or computer.

About the Author:
Eran Gadot is an award winning author. Gadot is married and a father to three children and two cats. He is proud to have ADHD and loves the fact that writing is the only way for him to focus on one thing. In his younger years he owned Pet Coffee, the first coffee place for dogs and their owners. He then opened a new coffee place, No Bill, where customers were free to pay as they please. He was the co-founder and CEO of a small high-tech company which was later sold to Playtech.
He is currently one of the owners of an advertising agency, works as the head of the creative department. His love for sports got him to be owner of a sports live scores website and an enthusiastic tennis player. He also has helped producing several independent films.

Few words from Gadot: 

"I can't remember a time when I didn't write. I write about everything. As far as I'm concerned what isn't written down simply isn't important. Writing is in my blood. The words inside me are constantly trying to burst out, however much I may try to focus on other things. 

My greatest dream was always to write a book for children, whose honesty and innocence constantly overwhelm me. It's thanks to children that my own inner child is sustained and never ceases to make his presence felt.

When my son started sixth grade and embarked on the journey known as adolescence my urge to write a book for children became impossible to ignore. His experiences granted me inspiration as well as fantastic ideas for my book. 

As I began to write, the reactions of my son and his friends totally amazed me and I understood that I was on the right path. I completed my book, which became the first in a series of six. The responses from my readers renew my energy daily and strengthen my deep motivation to continue to write.

For me, writing is not a hobby but a vocation. I simply have to write. And I still feel like a boy, with a tremendous desire to realize my dreams, break new ground and transform the impossible into the possible."

Book Blitz - The Boatrockers by Amanda Nicole

The book is a description illustration of a vision that God gave Amanda Nicole. It takes place in the realm of the spirit and illustrates what will happen on Earth as God’s future plans for the young adults are carried out in Heaven. A group of young adults called the Boatrockers (who behave much like Christian superheros), must implement God’s plan on Earth while being directed and guided from Heaven. The book takes place partly in the realm of the spirit and partly on earth.

The Boatrockers introduces an entirely new realm in which the Boatrockers live and is sure to be a page turner, having you on the edge of your seat every step of the way!
View a sample & purchase here: The Boatrockers



About The Author Amanda Nicole has always been both a teacher and a writer at heart. From a teenager in her high school English, class who would always ask the teacher if her paper could be longer than the recommended page limit, to the young adult who realized that there were others that needed to hear what she had learned the hard way, Amanda enjoys helping others learn. After years of helping teenagers and young adults find their purpose in God, and years of seeing others struggle in ungodly marriages out of sheer fear and bondage because of what they’d been taught, Amanda sought to do her part to help them find their way; not seeking to tell them what to do, but seeking to help lead them to the truth.

Pre-order it on Amazon here.




This might be the first night of my first (and only) honeymoon, but as I walk onto the private jet my new husband has rented for the occasion and run my fingers along the smooth vanilla-colored leather of the seat next to me, I am absolutely positive that this is the best honeymoon in the world. Not even a Kardashian could top this. I mean, yeah they’re all vastly more wealthy than Jace and I will ever be, but there’s one thing I have that the Kardashian clan doesn’t. Jace Adams.I plunk down into one of the six massive seats on the jet. I’m still in my wedding gown and once my body sinks into the plush chair, exhaustion overtakes me. “This chair must be straight from heaven because it is so freaking comfortable,” I say, closing my eyes and running my hands up and down the armrests. Jace sits in the chair across from me, swiveling until our feet touch. “No sleeping just yet, Mrs. Adams,” he says, smiling when he calls me by my new last name. “You have to choose our first destination so we can tell the pilot where to take us.”Did I mention that Jace has carved out three entire weeks from his work schedule so that we can spend a full twenty one days traveling around the country, doing whatever we want as we celebrate our wedding? Yeah, because that’s currently happening. Suck it, every other honeymoon ever. I toss my head back and look at the ceiling of the jet, squishing my lips to the side of my mouth while I try to think of a place to go.  Up until a few moments ago, our honeymoon destination had been a secret because Jace was wanting to surprise me. I figured he had planned a trip to a beach resort or something, but as usual, what he did plan far exceeded my expectations. He rented the jet, which came with his long time pilot friend, and gave me the reigns. Now, fear overwhelms me as I struggle to think of somewhere to go. When you have the entire country as an option, it’s hard to choose.Finally, I get an idea. “Los Angeles!”Jace’s head tilts to the side quizzically. “LA? Why?”I shrug. “Well, when we went to visit your parents, I had all these visions of going to LA and seeing the Hollywood sign and stuff, and then we didn’t do that at all because they lived in San Francisco.”“And you had absolutely no knowledge of the geography of the state of California,” Jace says with a laugh. “LA isn’t really as cool as it looks in the movies, but, if that’s where my wife wants to go…”I nod enthusiastically. “Please, can we? I want to see some celebrities!”Jace laughs and then walks up to the front of the plane, sliding open a door to the cockpit. “Take us to LA,” he says, followed by, “Yep. That LA.”When he returns, he leans over and gives me a kiss before taking his seat again. “What did that mean?” I ask, referring to his conversation with Christopher, our pilot. “He just flew in here from LA, so he thought it was funny that I told him to go right back there,” Jace says. He yawns, which makes me yawn, too. It’s been a long freaking day. I groan. “I’m sorry I picked LA. It’s actually kind of a stupid place to go first.”Jace shakes his head. “No way. This is a spontaneous trip. Your first choice is the best one because it’s what you really want. We’re going and it’ll be awesome.”I smile and grab his hand from across the small aisle between our chairs. “So what’s behind that other door?” I ask, gesturing to the door behind us. “Is it the bathroom? Because I’m sure I’ll have to pee before we get there.” At the sudden thought of how much soda I had at our wedding, my eyes go wide as panic makes my stomach tighten. “Please tell me there’s a bathroom in there?”Jace laughs and shakes his head, standing up and walking toward the door. “Babe, there’s a lot more than a bathroom back there.” He pulls open the door with a flourish of his hand and suddenly I’m on my feet in my wedding gown, my mouth open like I’m some kind of fish underwater.“Oh, my God,” I murmur, making my way to the door. Behind it is a luxurious living room area. A flat screen television, a couch in the same fancy leather as the seats, a fully-stocked bar, a sink, and another door that probably leads to the bathroom. Jace opens it and I follow him. Nope, it doesn’t lead to the bathroom. It leads to a bedroom. A queen sized bed with a big fluffy  duvet that looks as soft as a cloud. Another television, and then another door. That one leads to a bathroom. “Wow, this place is amazing.” Somehow, the words manage to come out of my mouth despite its sudden problem with staying open in awe and fascination. “We don’t even have to fly anywhere,” I say, sitting on the bed which is just as comfortable as I had imagined it would be. “Let’s just stay in this plane for three weeks.”Jace’s gaze turns seductive at the thought of what I’d just said. He walks toward me slowly, stopping when he’s in front of me while I sit on the bed. I look up at him and give him my best seductive look in return. He better be thinking what I’m thinking.Just in case he’s not, I reach up and start unbuttoning his dress shirt. I have to stand up as I get to the buttons on his chest and when I reach the top one, Jace slips his arms around my back, tugging the ribbon corset bow that’s tied at the base of my dress. A second later, my dress loosens as he works his fingers through the ribbons, making the bust of the dress begin to fall outward. I slide my fingers up his chest, feeling his rock hard abs as I push aside his shirt and let it fall to the ground. It’s funny how my incredibly expensive gown took my mom and best friend thirty minutes to put on, and only needs thirty seconds for Jace to have it pooled on the floor around my feet. I help him remove the strapless contraption that is my form-fitting bra, and then Jace lowers me onto the bed, sliding his body slowly up mine until our eyes meet. My skin tingles at the touch of his, a sensation I doubt I will ever get used to, no matter how long we’re together.“I’m so glad you married me,” Jace whispers before kissing me. My hands travel up his biceps, which are rigid while he supports his weight on top of me. His arms aren’t the only hard thing I’m thinking about right now. I bite my lip, trying to hold back the desire coursing through me, but then Jace dips his head into my neck, kissing my flesh delicately at first, then with passion as his tongue grazes across my skin, down to my collarbone. Chills prickle over every inch of my skin, and my fingers dig into his back.
“I’m glad I married you, too,” I whisper, shuddering as Jace’s fingers slide down my side, stopping when he grabs my hip. I draw in a deep breath as I feel him press against me. My lips touch his ear, and I make my request between gasping for air. “I’m yours, Jace. So take me.”

Summer Unplugged - Journals

As I start on my journey of being a FULL TIME AUTHOR *squee*, I am excited to release a new feature exclusively on Wattpad. I call it Summer Unplugged - Journals and it's an extra look into Jace and Bayleigh's life. It starts just before the 4th book Summer Unleashed, when Bayleigh is close to graduating high school.

It'll be written in letter format, where Bayleigh writes a letter to Jace and then he writes one back to her and so on. I'm hoping to release a new letter at least once a week, but it'll most likely be more frequently!

You can read it here, or by following me on Wattpad: http://www.wattpad.com/user/AmySparlingWrites
