Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi, Amanda Heartley here and I was born and raised in Oklahoma, and now I live in the hustle and bustle of Southern California. I’m still a country girl at heart though, with an insatiable weakness for alpha-type men and feisty, strong women.
I started out as an author in early 2013, writing what I love… contemporary erotic romance!
At home I play Mom, chef, ninja, taxi and nurse, hanging out with my four wonderful kids and 3 lovable mutts. You can probably find me relaxing in the back yard with a green smoothie while I write another smokin’ hot romantic story. You can join me on my Facebook page here:

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Destiny Undone series are my latest publications and that story was inspired by some celebrity antics I read about in the popular press while I was in the waiting room at the dentist!
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Not really, other than several cups of coffee before I can start my day and occasionally a glass of wine at the end of it, but only if I’ve been good at getting the words out!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
M. S. Parker, Eve Carter, Cassia Leo, Jasinda Wilder
What are you working on now?
I’m working on the final book in the Destiny Undone series, book 6. Gabe and Pepper need their happy ever after!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
BookBub, if you can get selected, is the best promotion site I’ve found so far.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t get disheartened if you see little or no success over a long period of time. It took me 18 months before I saw any real results so you need to dig deep and keep going if this is what you love to do.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Don’t let anyone else steal your dream!
What are you reading now?
I’m reading the new Blindfold series from M. S. Parker, fab!
What’s next for you as a writer?
After Destiny Undone, I’ll be moving on to a story I’ve been promising my readers for a long time, and that’s a spin-off from the Oceans Apart series but this time starring those two lovable characters, Mike and Kari.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Hmmm, that’s a tough one! I’m not sure as there’s so many great authors out there but definitely something sinfully sexy and romantic, lol!
