Want free audiobooks?

There are now 13 of my books that have been made into audio books, and more are on the way! To celebrate, I want to let everyone in on a cool program Audible has. If you use the link below, you can get two free downloads on Audible.com. Now you can listen to the first book in the The Immortal Mark Series AND Ella's Twisted Senior Year for FREE.

(And if you want to cancel the free trial after it's over, that's fine with me. I did the same thing, lol)

I love audiobooks because I listen to them in the car and when I take my dog for walks. Are you a fan of audiobooks, are are you new to them? Let me know it the comments!

Help get Believe in Spring published!

Have you enjoyed reading the new novellas in Jett's series this summer? I've really loved writing them! Unfortunately, my crazy fast publishing schedule of releasing one book every two weeks mixed with the decline in book sales has caught up with me. I don't have the funds to dedicate to publishing Believe in Spring any time soon. I've had to work extra jobs and cut back on writing time to make up for slow book sales and writing always gets pushed to the back burner.

That's where you come in!

I just started a Kickstarter to help me fund the publishing of the final book in Jett's series! I charge 99 cents for the novella on Amazon, (and Amazon adds tax), so on Kickstarter, if you pledge just $1, I will send you a copy of the eBook when it's finished. Easy!

Pledge more and get more. You can find all of the details on the Kickstarter page here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1083992193/believe-in-spring-novella-the-jett-series-box-set


It would really mean the world to me if you can pledge just $1 to help me get this book into the world.

June check in

Guys! There's so much going on right now and I feel like me randomly yelling it all on Facebook doesn't help much! So I thought I'd make a blog post to let you in on all the awesome bookish things for this summer. I'll put it in list form because I love me some lists.



*Jett's series is now going to be 8 books long! Part 5, Believe in Summer, just came out and part 6, Believe in Fall is up for preorder now! The final 2 books will be out in July, releasing every 2 weeks.


*After that, you'll get a special trilogy featuring the Team Loco guys. Don't know who they are? Read Believe in Summer to find out!

The MASSIVE Summer Unplugged omnibus edition is here and it's AMAZING! 770 pages long, it has all 10 Summer Unplugged books in it!

You can now listen to the first book in my paranormal romance series on audiobook! I was thrilled to work with Sarah Puckett, who narrated the book. The next two books will be released soon!

For now, you can listen to The Immortal Mark on Amazon or Audible. (iTunes will be coming soon too!)

The Summer Unplugged Omnibus is here!

One of the coolest things about the emails I receive, is that readers often tell me they've read my books over and over again. In a world with thousands of books to read, I am honored that someone would read mine once, and reading it a second time? That's just amazing. Over the four year span of the Summer Unplugged series, I've had many people ask me to compile all 10 books into one eBook, and last night, I did it!

You can now get the Summer Unplugged Complete Series on Amazon!


This series makes one behemoth of a paperback, coming in at almost 800 pages long. That's about to be available, too! Stay tuned!

You can also follow me on Instagram, where I'll be posting pictures of the huge book as soon as I get it.

Thank you all for making Summer Unplugged what it is today!

Natalie and the Nerd is Available Now!

[image error]

My new book is out in the world and I love hearing what you all think about it! I've had some great feedback and reviews so far and it's totally made my little author heart happy. I really loved writing Natalie and the Nerd and it was a fun, sometimes heart-wrenching story to write.

You can find it on Amazon in eBook or paperback, which is only $7.99! And it's also on Kindle Unlimited!

As I gear up for my summer writing plans (see upcoming blog post), I wanted to share my favorite Instagram photos of Natalie and the Nerd! I love love love when people get creative when taking book photos. #Bookstagram is probably my favorite thing about social media!

Here are some of my favorites:

Taking part in my first ever #bookstagram blitz for Natalie and the Nerd by @writeamysparling. This book sounds amazing and I can't wait to read my copy! Thanks to @lolasblogtours for letting me be part of this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Natalie’s school work is the last priority on her long list of things to worry about. Since her parent’s divorce, her mom’s boutique—their only source of income—is about to go under, and Natalie spent all summer and most of her senior year trying to save the little shop. Now that she’s in danger of failing high school, the assistant principal (who happens to be her evil step mother) is making Natalie join daily tutoring sessions with Jonah Garza, the school’s valedictorian.  Taking math lessons from the rich nerdy boy is the last thing Natalie wants to do, but Jonah needs these community service hours to get into Harvard, so he’s not going to give up on her. In addition to working at the boutique and studying with Jonah, Natalie’s lifelong crush just started paying attention to her. She’s being pulled in so many directions, she doesn’t think to question why the son of the biggest business mogul in town is suddenly trying to win her affections.  When her crush betrays her and the store goes into foreclosure, Natalie has to choose between fighting harder to keep her mom’s dream alive, or fighting to pass high school and start a future of her own. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can find Natalie and the Nerd on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/sho34927436-natalie-and-the-nerd  And Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Natalie-Nerd-Amy-Sparling-ebook/dp/B071KYT74P/ #NATNGiveaway #bookblitz #bookstagramblitz #bookbloggerA post shared by Amy Rush Da Silva (@amyluisaaa) on Jun 4, 2017 at 6:21am PDT

An irresistible novel about math and romance, with a hint of the paranormal.

Being a math genius is not exactly a ticket to popularity for seventeen-year-old Eva. Even worse, whenever she touches another person or their belongings, she gets glimpses of their emotions, secrets and insecurities, making her keep her distance from everyone. So when Eva realizes she can touch Zenn, a handsome and soulful artist, without getting visions — only sparks — she finds herself drawing closer to him. But then she discovers the history that links them, and the truth threatens to tear the two apart.

She's his angry, vindictive Latin tutor, the daughter of his dad’s business rival, and the one girl he’d never even think of kissing. She’s definitely not his online crush, because that girl is funny, sweet, and perfect.When Oliver asks to reveal their names at the Valentine’s Day dance, their IRL relationship will either ruin what they have online, or they’ll discover just how thin the line between love and hate really is.
ALWAYS YOU by Kirsty Moseley

Their relationship has always been easy and affectionate, but after Riley’s month long vacation, things become a little strange. She starts to look at him in ways that go way beyond the ‘friend zone’. Add in her best friend’s rival, and things become a whole lot more complicated.
