Well, to be honest, it was the cellphone in my pocket that started vibrating but you know what I mean. But now our bags were packed and Ali and I were about to walk out the front door. There were a few stops and starts and the trip had been delayed twice. So I called my mother, scheduled a leave of absence from work and made our plane reservations. Like it or not, that meant returning home to Mossy Creek, Texas, smack dab in the middle of the buckle of the Bible belt.Īnd that made life very interesting for the citizens of Mossy Creek where normal was not something you encountered every day. Fortunately, at least in some ways, my mother did know how to handle my special little girl. A month after that I finally admitted she presented challenges I didn’t know how to deal with. It might never have happened if it weren’t for my daughter, the light of my life. But that’s the situation I found myself in. It’s never easy going home, especially when you left under less than ideal circumstances. This is my work, copyright 2016 by Amanda S. Below is an excerpt.

That’s mainly because it demanded it take place in the same setting as Slay Bells but it has elements of modern fantasy/UF. Witchfire Burning, as I said over on Mad Genius Club, is something of a mash-up of Slay Bells Ring (a romantic suspense) and S keletons in the Closet (UF/modern fantasy and still unpublished). I guess this is all a roundabout way of saying the book has a title now, as well as a series title, and a cover. What I hadn’t expected was that I would come to love the characters as much as I did or that it would wind up tying into a book I’d already written as a stand alone. The title, the fact she didn’t reveal who the bad guy was until I was more than halfway through, etc. Myrtle the Muse used this particular book to torment me in a number of ways. Usually, I know the title of a book by the end of the first chapter. What made this particular novel interesting in that infuriating kind of way is that it didn’t have a title. Okay, I’ve had several like this but this particular one was very loud and would not sit on the back burner after I made enough notes that it should have been quiet. I’ve discussed before the novel that demanded it be written.
