GET THE GUY

Hello Lovely Readers,

I'm so excited to announce that I have been chosen to help promote the new GetTheGuy book by Matthew Hussey. Matthew is an  international speaker, dating coach and now a star on the new show on NBC, Ready for Love. (Ready For Love Premiers TONIGHT!)

I've been following him through his Youtube videos and website for over a year now and I couldn't be more excited to see his new show and read his new book. I think the biggest reason I started following him in the first place is because what he says Just. Makes. Sense.

I'm a very logical person and honestly sometimes I don't understand all of the nuance of things like chemistry and flirting. It always seemed so vague to me and wasn't something I could pin down because it seemed to vary from person to person. Matthew makes it simple and easy to understand and recreate as if it were a science (I guess it is). Plus he talks about more than just 'getting the guy' he talks about you from how you can boost your confidence to dealing with stage fright and about so many aspects of your life that make sense too. It's easy to see why he has so many devoted followers, myself included.

If you haven't heard of him, check out one of his many videos below. He just puts out this amazing advice on Youtube and on his website for free. See for yourself what I'm talking about.

Now readers onto our bread and butter: The Book! (This is a book blog after all)
Here's the link to an excerpt Sneak Peak from the book, GetTheGuy.

Now tell me you love me because I have a great exclusive Give-a-way for you!!!
The first 30 people to buy a PRINT version of the book either through Amazon or a local store will receive a GetTheGuy Tour ticket fo' free. Just send me your receipt . Here's the Link: Amazon Link to the Book!

That's it guys! Hope you have a fabulous day.

xoxo,

Good thoughts, good things!

This is too cool and I had to share. I was talking with someone on an online thread about life paths and what we are meant to do. I mentioned about how I wrote a novel and published it myself. Someone unrelated to the thread messaged me this:
"Hey Amanda
I just wanted to say your story about writing a book and self publishing on amazon and all that follows, really inspired me. I have always wanted to write a fictional book but never knew where to start or where I would go after and that kind of thing. once I read your message to Natalie, it really inspired me and I found some courage and inspiration to start writing."

I feel so honored to have inspired anyone. It is extremely humbling.  It definitely has made my day, probably my whole week.

Remember That One Time When I Wrote A Book?

Well, I published it today!!!!!!!

It's called: Shifting Shadows.




Shifting Shadows (Sparks Collide Trilogy) You can get it FREE until 1/25/13!!!!!!!!


I wanna thank everyone who has supported me through it.
Obviously, I'm looking for anyone and everyone to REVIEW it but especially those of you who like the Paranormal Romance genre.

As a book reviewer, I know how harsh criticism can seem, even when it's trying to be nice. I know how devasting it sounds when it isn't trying to be so nice. I'm not sure what people will say because no one besides me has ever read it before. I've never done anything like this. I'm not a trained writer, I'm just a girl with an intense love for books and some crazy ideas. In light of this, I'm trying to be brave and putting it out there because I put my heart and soul into it. I believe in it.

I firmly believe that if you have creativity in your soul (and I think we all do) then you should express it as much as possible. That's what this book is for me.  

All I know is this: I enjoyed writing this novel immensely and I hope at least one other person out there will enjoy reading it.


If you would like to review it, then comment below. You can get it free online until the 25th of January  or I can send you a copy.

p.s. I'm all for compliments ( =) haha) and I'm also open to constructive criticism because I want to learn and grow.

XO,
Shmandarin (The Author? Yes, The Author.) ...Whoa.
