Amy Sumida's Blog - Posts Tagged "magic"
Hello Goodreads!
It's been a long road for me and my books. I started writing back in high school and have submitted work to agents for over ten years with a lot of "almost" achievements. I held on and held out for that publishing contract for so long that the idea of self-publishing just never even occurred to me until this last submission I made to Llewelyn for my book called The Magic of Fabric. I made it through all their little hoops and jumps until my book got to the highest level and didn't pass the execs. They sighted things like I didn't use my "it's and its" correctly- ridiculous, I know the difference between a possessive and the shortening of it is. It was silly and I was so frustrated that they'd strung me along for over a year before blowing me off in such a way. But I'm thankful to Llewelyn because without that, I wouldn't have published my books.
Now, I've got two magic influenced books and six books of my paranormal romance series called The Godhunter for sale on Amazon. I also have three more of Godhunter done(hopefully the series will continue forever) and I'm dusting off and shining up some romance novels I wrote back in high school. I'm so grateful and humbled by the readers who have given my books a chance and made it possible for me to consider writing as a career.
Goodreads was recommended to me by a friend and I'm delighted to be a part of it. I've never wrote a blog, never thought anyone would really want to read about what I'm doing day to day but I decided to give this a shot. I'm big into the paranormal and most of my stories are based around this. I mean why have normal when you could have something beyond that. If I wanted reality, I would just live my life, not read a book. So I like characters that are unusual, my Godhunter series revolves around gods but these gods are the source of all the paranormal critters, so it really fulfills that for me. If these are things you like as well, you may enjoy reading what I write.
I hope I can entertain you all with my blog but this first post is just kind of a hello and how ya doing before I get started. So hello, Goodreads!

She finds her father imprisoned by three cursed princes, and buys his freedom with her own. But this beauty has a plan.

Pan's Promise
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075NW3D27
Welcome to a new Neverland.
Pandora was made to tempt men, but only so she would be their downfall. After Pandora released evil into the world, her husband turned against her. She was sent away on one of his fastest ships, with a guard of five men to make certain that she never returned. But the gods took pity on Pandora, and gave her a sanctuary; turning her prison guards into bodyguards, and the island that was intended to be her prison into a magical home. There was just one problem; the captain and his crew who had brought Pandora to Neverland were stuck on the island with her... and they brought the evil she released with them.
The Little Glass Slipper
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075PG4J6P
An erotic tale of love, fairies, and footwear.
Madelyn's mother left when she was still a child. She never believed her father's stories about her mother being a fairy who had to return to her own world. Her father remarried, and then he also died, leaving Madelyn alone with a stepmother and three stepsisters who treated her like a servant. Madelyn would have simply left, but her kingdom was unsafe for young women on their own, ruled over by a immoral family known for their hedonistic ways. So Madelyn stayed and waited for an opportunity to change her life. She never expected that chance to arrive in the form of her returned fairy mother, or her kingdom's three princes who were known more for their sexual prowess than their nobility. But a girl's gotta work with the magic she's given, and Madelyn intends to make the most of hers.
