Fierce Dawn by Amber Scott (Includes Guest Blog)

Sadie's Mom is acting really strange, but Sadie tries to keep Heather, her little sister, from worrying.  Then Mom dies and Sadie goes crazy...


The author shared a copy of this ebook with me for review (thank you).  This book is being promotion priced today for 99 cents on Amazon.  The direct link for purchase is in the guest blog at the bottom of my review.


This is a paranormal romance/adventure and I must admit they are growing on me.  I used to think they were silly, but I'm finding that they have good story lines, the author can make you empathize with her characters, and when the story ends, you want to read more about them.  Ms. Scott has this list down.


When Sadie gets out of the hospital, she's very cautious and careful about what she says and what she does.  She doesn't want a return trip!  When she meets Elijah, she has hopes for a relationship, but running into him with the library cart was not a good start.  Especially since he doesn't appear to be interested in her.  But that changes, and that's where this story takes off.


Ms. Scott throws in immortals, humans, changelings, and evildoers and mixes the plot "pot" into a very interesting and entertaining story.  


I really enjoyed this story.  For 99 cents how can you say no?  Pick up a copy for yourself and settle down to read a good adventure tale.  I'm hoping there will be more in this series. Sadie is just beginning to learn who and what she is...


Here is a guest post from the author that has more information about her and links to the sale:



I’ve Been Caught Cheating!
By Amber Scott © 2011

I’ve tried to hide it. To deny it. I kept up an alternate identity to keep my secret from the reading world. I even tried really, really hard to stop. Six months ago I finally gave up. I came out as a I’m a genre jumper. Yep. I write in more than one genre.

Moreover, I have not one, but three different paranormal worlds going, each with its own set of rules. I’ve given up trying to pick just one.

I just can’t!

I love them all too, too much. I love the blood addict vampires and winged seekers in “Fierce Dawn” just as much as the medieval Ireland Druid magic and evil fae of “Irish Moon.” Then there’s my Stupid Cupid series begun with “Play Fling” which tracks the lessons of a seriously
challenged matchmaker. What magic I’m loving most all depends on where my muse has taken me.

I know what you’re thinking. Uh-oh. That’s a no-no, right? Or, man, this chick gets around, right?

Yeah. Have I mentioned all the stand alone contemporaries in there, too? Eek! I do. I get around.

In the beginning of my career, I read a book by a famous agent who advised against indulging one’s muse by writing in more than one genre until a career has been established. The rule was, pick one and stick it out for five to ten books.

I tried to. I really did. But my muse just wouldn’t work that way. Ignoring the itch of adventuring into a new world stemmed my creativity and my progress. I tried separating out my paranormals under a different pen name at first. But then my paranormal worlds themselves differed drastically, too. It came down to either splitting off into yet another personality or going the therapeutic route.

I decided to simply write all my sub-genres under one name.

The truth is I don’t know if readers will mind. I do know that it feels right. I know that my books have a common theme no matter what magical or modern setting they arise from. Love can transform you. In each book, I get to see just how much.

As a reader, I love variety. I love my Shiver wolves as much as my Eclipse wolves. I love my regencies as much as my highlanders. I love my aliens right alongside my comic heroines. It never feels like infidelity.

I’m happy to say, writing ‘around’ no longer does, either. Yes, I’m easy. But I promise you this:

No matter where I take you, it will be one hot, addictive adventure.

In fact, today, “Fierce Dawn” is the IBC’s Bestseller For a Day, promotion priced at just 99 cents
for your buying pleasure. Grab yours and get in on some amazing giveaways, including a Kindle
and a signed ebook of “Fierce Dawn.” Just click HERE.

I've heard of some people reading more than one book at a time, but here's a writer who isn't challenged about writing about separate worlds and times.  Pretty amazing, eh?
