I have a lot to celebrate. Can you believe I have been blogging for six years! It has been an amazing journey where I have met so many great people and learned so much. So many of my dreams have come true in these six years. Bring out the champagne!!
I am excited to share the cover and blurb for the next Amanda adventure, available October 1, 2016. I think it is fabulous! Hope you like it too. I had fun revisiting the sites along the Danube as I wrote this book.
Twelve-year-old Amanda Ross finds herself on an elegant riverboat with her bestie, Leah, cruising down the beautiful Danube, passing medieval castles, luscious green valleys and charming villages. When she is entrusted with a valuable violin by a young, homeless musician during a stop in Germany, a mean boy immediately attempts to take it from her. Back on their cruise, Amanda struggles to keep the precious violin safe for the poor prodigy. Along the way, she encounters a mysterious monk, a Santa Claus look-alike, and the same nasty boy. Follow Amanda down the Danube, through Germany, Austria and Hungary, as she enjoys the enchanting sounds of music everywhere she goes. She remains on the lookout, wondering just who she can trust.
Wait, there’s more!! It has also been six years since my first book was published. To celebrate, Amanda in Arabia – The Perfume Flask, ebook version, will be available free from June 17 to 30th on most sites. Here is a chance to meet Amanda, if you haven’t yet. Please tell your friends! And if you feel inclined to write a short review, that would be most appreciated. Thank you so much for those who already have.
Thanks so much for all the support you have given me and Amanda over the past 6 years. I could not have done it without you. Mucho Besos

Hi Darlene, I like all the Amanda covers but I think this is the best one yet. Congratulations on everything!


Hi Darlene, congratulations on your blog anniversary. Time flies when we are having fun.Your Amanda books look amazing and I will get the new one as soon as it comes out. I love that part of Europe; the food and that violin music is so beautiful, from the Vienna waltz to the gipsy music.


Happy Anniversary, Darlene! Danube sounds romantic. I saw your Amanda ebook from BookBub and have downloaded it. Looking forward to reading it soon.
