Terrify Your Tablet Sale

Horrorsmith Publishing presents the annual Terrify Your Tablet event. Free and $.99 books all day long!

FULL LIST

Due to the amount of downloads last year (over 25k!) Resulting in a few scams and some bad reviews because people “just got it because it was free but don’t like horror”, I decided to only go to $.99 this year.

SOS Sirens of Survival
Survival reality show pits the final 5 against each other with no help and no supervision for the final 10 days. But things quickly start to go wrong and with no help and no certainty, it’s a fight to survive.

Sever the Circle
A small family of witches with a curse that brings darkness with the birth of each new member. But Violet isn’t about to let that tradition continue. As she fights to change her fate, she quickly realizes that the nightmares are real and nothing is as it seems.

Darkling Cloud
Caleb was an average dude with a simple life until the cat distribution decided he needed a friend. Darkling Cloud quickly reveals herself to be a lot more than just a unique feline, and as their bond grows she turns Caleb’s life around, but at what cost?


SCAM WARNING: EBAY

SCAM WARNING: EBAY

I have discovered at least 3 sellers on ebay that are selling “new” paperback copies of Darkling Cloud for 3x the price on Ebay. They did not buy this book through me or any of my retailers and all have a seller score over 98%. The description is jumbled and contains my previous legal married name as the author (which is how I was alerted).

My books are significantly cheaper through me as a signed copy or through outlets like Amazon, B&N, and Wal-Mart as well my overseas platforms.

Darkling Cloud by Amanda Leanne

Caleb’s life was simple, middle of the lane. He wasn’t dirt poor, but he was living paycheck to paycheck, working a minimum wage job and eeking by in his life in the southern Appalachian mountains.

Then there was the day of the accident and his introduction to the feline that would change his entire life, for better and worse. Caleb begins to question his sanity as well as his luck but soon begins to wonder exactly what kind of monkey’s paw situation has he found himself in?

Darkling Cloud was just a cat…right? And if she wasn’t, then what was she and how scared should Caleb be? All he knew was that the bodies were piling up, and as his reality began to disintegrate, Caleb was no longer sure he wanted to know the truth.

Group for Discussion and Opportunities

I am not a fan and dreading doing newsletters but I am hitting a point where I should be doing them. So I decided to make a Facebook group instead.

I will be looking for BETAs and ARCs for Darkling Cloud soon and this group will be used to find BETAs and ARCs as well as have book discussions, ask the author questions, and exclusive giveaways and opportunities.

New Year News for 2025

Updates on current works and some big news on an upcoming collaboration project.

First up: Darkling Cloud News

Darkling Cloud is in the final chapters. The beginning is already being edited and fine-tuned. Current aim is January 2025. Thank you all for your patience, and I am so sorry for all the delays! I have already added a Darkling book tab to the website, so feel free to check it out. The links will be up after pre-order is available.

Darkling is looking at being the first book in a trilogy. More to be decided after initial reception.


Genre Dancin’:

I will be dabbling in some other subgenres next year. My next book, Velvet Iris (working title), is a dark, Victorian, Gothic, fantasy, horror, romance book with a Dr. Jeckyll/Ms.Hyde Countess begins a love affair with her newest servant girl. This will be at least a 2 spices, and it will be DARK, so no Hallmark or Lifetime romances here. My people know I am not a rainbows and butterflies and puppy dogs with happy endings type, and I have a very macabre imagination. So the book will not be for the faint of heart. This will be something I will be dabbling in more often, but I do plan to clearly label my darker works clearly for those not interested in such. And no, romance isn’t the main theme of the genres. The theme will be more gore, horror, spice, and probably violence.

I will not be stopping my more purple and general population “acceptable” works and may even try out some cozier things here and there, but people love the crazier stuff currently.

The Crone of Crows will be more in line with my current writing style, like Darkling and Sever.


The BIG news!

I am in a collaboration project with nearly two dozen other authors for a bunch of books that will all take place in and around the Bleeding Hearts Valley. It is a shared universe. Our books will be their own standalone stories, but they will reference each other and work around the timelines and events of each other.

My first entry into the universe is already plotted and planned because I got a wild hair one sleep deprived day and in 2 days figured out the entire story I wanted to write. It will begin being written after I get Darkling published.

These will be thrillers, dark psychological, and they will NOT be cozy, so cussing, violence, some spice in some of the other books is going to be a thing. I will get more info as we move forward and will create a page for my book and links to the others in the universe as they come out (as well as the other authors participating).

This is an amazing opportunity for me to be seen by other readers as well as my readers see my thriller chops (recovered after my burn out from the ghostwriting days) and get introduced to some other authors.

This is a big project and I am so excited to be a part of it!
