1. I don’t get to say I’m a marathoner. Yet. I am a half marathoner (which means I’m only half crazy right now, hehe). But I’m training to go all in early next year. Lots of hill an speed work that my little stick legs hate.

2. Writing a book and running a marathon have so much in common. Loud music helps tons. You gotta make small manageable daily and weekly goals to survive. Even bad days at it feel better than not doing a thing. And then before you know it, ta-da, you reach your goal.

Then you sleep for a week.

3. Enchanted Moon’s development has been a mental marathon in itself. I started over so many times, not getting the story onto the page quite right compared to what was in my head and heart. The hard work looks to be worth it, though. This is the first book I’ve written that my critique partner is over the moon about. She’s tough to woo and that always pushes me in very good ways so to win her over is a huge accomplishment for me. In just weeks, we’ll get to see if fans agree. If you want a taste of it, email me at amberscottbooks@gmail.com for a four chapter sneak preview.

Okay, so maybe not so random. Maybe today has a theme after all. Going the distance? 

Whatcha think?

Hugs,

Amber

PS: Who else is singing the Cake song now? #metotallyyep

But I do have a four chapter sneak peek as a tide-you-over, my wonderful and amazing Enchanted Moon stalkers.

Oh, and a first chapter preview for all of you Stealing Dusk hopefuls out there.

Just shoot me an email at amberscottbooks@gmail.com, letting me know you’d like your freebie sneak peak(s) OR leave a comment here (warning that a comment takes me a bit longer to see).

My life it appears, is in makeover mode. The coming months you’ll see the whole new me.

New releases. New hair. New look to this site.

I think of it all as me being like a Phoenix rising from some serious ashes.

Speaking of Ashes, I’m thrilled to share that Ashes Falling is the title for book three in ParaRealm! When it will release, I can’t yet say. I know. I’m a tease. But I do love ya!

Anyone who wants a sneak peek of ENCHANTED MOON on this blog to tide you over, the password to that post is hotlass.

2. Like Kelly Clarkson sings loud and proud, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” I know we all get large, steaming piles of stress in life. Whatever yours may be, I wish for good, strong arms around you to catch you if you fall. Good, strong arms make all the difference.

3. SWAG? Oh, swag, where art thou? Well, my favorite envelope stuffing pastime got shoved on hold. BUT, word is from my suppliers that we shall be back to go within a couple weeks. So, hang in there all HOT Club HOTees. I’m working on that, too. Lip balms, HOT tags. The works. In the meantime, I send you all a virtual cocktail of your choice and chocolate. Because chocolate makes everything better.

Giant HUGS,

Amber Scott

This tale has me feeling like Milla put on some serious steal toed stomping boots. The heroine is as jaded as they come and her road to love is lined with cinderblock emotional walls that only a very determined, very HOT hero can break down.

From the hard riffs to the soft, pointed lyrics, this song captures that tangle of attraction, passion and resistance she feels every time he sticks around, proving minute by little minute that not everyone goes away.

It’s Sleigh Bells “Tell ‘Em”…

It makes me want to blare it and bang page after hot page out.
Thank you, Milla!

Can Paula, too. Or, does she even want to?

In Drowning Lust, Roan Slade, the bad boy we all adore from Stealing Dusk, comes on scene. He isn’t Paula’s love interest, but what he reveals brings about changes neither Paula or Liv are ready to face.

This is Paula’s song…

Oh, the tangled web love can weave…
