Designing book covers is probably one of my top favorite things to do when publishing a book (well, that and actually writing the story and formatting it and getting to share it… ;)). Today, I’m talking about some behind-the-scenes in designing covers for the Tales of Faith series. This includes a glimpse at some of the covers and ideas that didn’t make it. Visit Honey Rock Hills to see what all went on behind the designs!
Early reviews are such a blessing for me! Especially when they come from other authors. Today, Faith Blum reviewed “Protecting the Poor” over at her blog!
Her unique spin on the classic tale was well written when memorable characters.

Who remembers Barat from “The Secret Slipper?” Well, he’s back in “Protecting the Poor” in full force and today I’m sharing an excerpt of the first scene between him and Dumphey. It begins…

I’ve already shared some rewriting tips in today’s count-down post… but I go into a little more detail on Tangled Up in Writing Blog. What did I do specifically in writing my retelling of Robin Hood? How did I get the specific ideas for all three in the Tales of Faith trilogy? Read the article here.
One of my first reviews for “Protecting the Poor” is up!! For me as an author, I always have a bit of apprehension when a book is about to release. Did the readers glean the message I was striving to share? Did I just butcher something completely? Did enough of my Amanda-isms get edited out? (inside joke between me and Mom, my main editor)
And then I read a review like this one, and I almost want to cry. God is so good. The message was relayed and a valuable lesson seen clearly by the reader. Praise the Lord!!!
One thing I have always loved about Amanda’s books is that they are unapologetically Christian in nature, and this is no exception. The way biblical themes are woven into the very essence of the story is delightful, and watching the characters grow more like Christ throughout the story is precious! I loved how the characters each had their own individual struggle and sought to overcome it with the help of the Lord. The way that Dumphey and Noel and their friends learn truths about forgiveness, vengeance, and fear was beautifully shared!
Do you want to read a little more of “Protecting the Poor” before it releases? Sneak-peek over at A.M. Heath’s blog!!

Dumphey, Betin, Stephan, Arther, Patey, Dickie, Noel, Feroci, Barat, Lydda, Zuzene… I was going to look into each of these names and share some history behind them. Then, I decided to try to find definitions. Yeah. Turns out, I didn’t choose very historically accurate names–or names that have a given meaning to them at all. So I’m asking: what would you define these names as? Read the full post and list of undefined names over on We’ve Got Pockets blog.
