welcome Kia ora from sunny New Zealand! After spending ten years dividing my time between Australia, England and New Zealand, I've finally settled in the beautiful Hawke's Bay region and when I'm not lying in the sun, eating chocolates and reading, I love to write books! Zombie Queen of Newbury High is about what happens when a teenage girl accidentally turns her entire senior year into zombies and has to try and find a cure before she ends up at the top of their menu. Though, honestly, it could've happened to anyone... You can also find out more about my debut book, You Had Me at Halo, which got some amazing reviews and was nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice award. If you've got a minute, why don't you have a look around and then come and visit me on my blog, myspace or even twitter to find out what I've been getting up to! I hope to see you all soon. Happy reading! Amanda Ashby

out now "In a welcome break from the current trend in vampire romances, Ashby here offers a lighthearted skewering of the genre. Ashby’s clever dialogue and familiarity with all things Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) combine to create a light and addictive tongue-in-cheek homage to both standard romance novels and all things Goth" -- Booklist "Zombie Queen of Newbury High is a delightfully fun, fresh, and funny read! Never again will you look at prom, your classmates, or even zombies in quite the same way! ~Alyson Noel, New York Times Bestselling author of Evermore "Zombie Queen of Newbury High is a delicious treat! Who knew zombies could be both fun and funny? It's Zombilicious!" -- Michelle Rowen, author of Bitten & Smitten
out now "It's The Lovely Bones meets Bridget Jones in this fluffy take on what happens after death...it's a fun, witty traipse through the afterlife." Publisher's Weekly "This book has a delightfully quirky concept that develops into a fun and interesting story. Peopled with a fascinating variety of characters, it also has an intriguing mystery and a charmingly different type of interaction between the hero and heroine. Expect a delightful tale with a wonderfully distinctive ending." 4 1/2 stars Romantic Times Bookclub TOP AUGUST PICK |
