Amy Joy Lutchen's Blog: Renhala Holiday Sale!!, page 6

My first book blogger review!

Feeling all warm and fuzzy, I could squeeze someone right now...

Mallory-Mallory Heart Reviews says:

"A complex and multileveled contemporary fantasy, with its anchor in our world set in Chicago, "Renhala" keeps readers riveted and easily suspending disbelief while exploring an alternate world, at times lovelier than our own, at times horrifying and dangerous. Young Kailey undergoes a brutal and inexplicable assault, and through it finds that she has unheeded powers and abilities, and so do some of those around her. It is rather as if she looks through a glass table top and sees an entire other world co-existing with her own reality.

Author Amy Jo Lutchen demonstrates an incredible grasp of world-building. There are enough new species, locales, geographies, and cultures involved here to populate five volumes! Yet the tapestry of the two worlds is tautly woven and readily kept in mind as the plot swiftly unfolds."

PW article on bad reviews of classic books..Awesome (well not for them)!

I got quite the kick out of reading this article from PW regarding bad reviews of classic books. Check it out: http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by...

Aren't these terrifying?!? I LOVE 'EM! If you'd like the whole set of instructions, visit: http://m.instructables.com/id/Realistic-Halloween-Severed-Finger-Cookies/

If you try them out, you've gotta send me pics..You could even change them up and maybe paint the fingernails, add rings, warts, you name it! So cool.

What's got 52 focused and staring eyes, enough energy to power a locomotive, and the ability to melt a woman's heart? The local daycare children and teachers who hosted their local author, that's who! Thank you for letting me share such a precious moment with your all-too precious children.

Oh yes, I was very scared with the undivided attention, and even though I did read Kiki as Cuckoo (ONCE!), it was one of the best literary experiences of my life...

So, I am sitting on a stalled train right now, due to the train ahead of us hitting a car--poor people--and I decided to let everyone know of some foul info on the intranet. I decided to look up the reasoning behind witches having broomsticks, and Jinkies! Let's just say people are talking about hallucinogenic drugs and body parts. My goodness! Isn't Halloween sacred anymore? Oh, maybe that's Easter.

Ok..all you followers with no picture attached--I want to see your smiling faces! Go through your pics, find the one you think you look best in and attach to your acct. Otherwise I will find my own pics for you and post them daily :) Love ya!

Ummmm...So am I considered a bad parent when I sleep on Egyptian 1000 thread count sheets and my children sleep on licensed-character, sweatshop 10 thread count?

I finally did it! Took a lot of courage, but finally thought, "What the heck, why hold onto this? I'll share." My four year long project is finally finished! But, actually, when sitting here thinking about it, it's not, really. Now comes what I've feared almost the most: MARKETING! Ugh. So if anyone is interested in making my life a bit easier, I'd love for you to spread the word to as many people as you can. Tell family, and friends, fellow citizens at the DMV, strangers at opposite gas pumps, and maybe even whisper to those sitting in adjacent bathroom stalls. Whatever your form of speaking to the world, is fine with me. And if you happen to know anyone with a blog who reviews fantasy books, you are now my best friend.

Thanks to everyone out there who supported me, 'cause this would have never have happened without you!

Renhala is now available at Amazon and Smashwords.

This will serve its purpose until I find out how to do widgets/gadgets to connect to Amazon and Smashwords :) with fun buttons.

For all of you asking about the book, I must let you know that I have decided to publish Renhala as an ebook, only. It will be available online at both Amazon.com and Smashwords.com. Sorry to all those who wanted a physical edition, 'cause it won't be happening. The price for such a hefty book would have been astronomical, and I don't want anyone having to pay an arm and a leg for a book.

Aren't they totally real looking? You could definitely play some evil pranks with these...In a bowl of spaghetti? Sticking out of some cheese on a pizza? The possibilities are endless...

Sorry, would have posted the whole thing here, but when I copied and pasted it, it totally ran over my TEA OF THE MONTH! Remember...I don't know HTML because it kicks my @$$...
