ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hi! I'm Amanda and I'm a YA author. My serial, The Mermaid Kingdom Series, follows teen protagonist, Ava, an orphan who discovers she's a mermaid. I set this story in modern-day Salem, but the world has a magical flare.

When I'm not writing, I'm filming classes for Skillshare and running my second business geared towards artists and makers. I live in Pennsylvania with my husband of 14 years and our two dogs, Josie and Meeka.

The day after a book release always feels a little The day after a book release always feels a little weird to me. Like I should have a million things to finish. Shouldn't I? Why does everything suddenly seem so quiet? ๐Ÿคฃโ 
โ 
Then, priorities begin to shift toward the next thing. I sorta rush on because I feel a little lost. Does anyone else experience this?โ 
โ 
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful the end of something. But also after months (or longer) of working on one thing, it doesn't feel right just to be done.โ 
โ 
Author friends, how do you deal with the transition from one book to the next? Leave me tips in the comments, please โ˜บ๏ธโ 
โ 
Last night, I did take a little time to jot some ideas for a new project. I used the book pictured to give me a few ideas.โ

Thanks to everyone who made publishing possible. From my IndieGogo contributors to my editors to my illustrators to my early readers. You're all incredible! Thank you for your help, no matter the means.โ

Now, I'm off to celebrate! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰
I've had chats with several author friends where w I've had chats with several author friends where we've discussed how writing the second book (or episode) is much more difficult than the first.โ

It's a weird feeling being proud of something and simultaneously wishing you had more time to make it into something greater. But that's probably my fear talking. (I know my creative friends will understand!)โ

Regardless, this part of Ava's story is ready for you to read. Only a few more days until it releases in ebook format. โ 
โ 
I hope you all will enjoy. ๐Ÿ˜Š In the meantime, I'm starting an outline for a short prequel that I hope to release next for this series. โ
