Wedding Score is HERE!

Published on by Amanda Tero9 Comments


Today is the day!!! Stephanie’s story is out in the world! And by world, I mean a little more than usual… as it’s not just on Amazon, but these other retailers. Or you can just order a signed paperback. 😉 Or, you can keep scrolling down for the giveaway and bonus. 🙂

“Wedding Score” is a very special story for me. An author puts a lot of her heart into her books, but in this one, it’s got a LOT of my heart. My family accuses me that “Wedding Score” is an autobiography. It’s not… exactly… But it does have tons of situations and life lessons that I have personally learned throughout the past few years. God has taught me (and is still teaching me) some invaluable lessons along this single-life journey. Being able to write it through the eyes of Stephanie has been such a huge blessing for me! And then, to hear how it blesses others and encourages them in their single journey… my heart is so full!!

A special thank-you to all of the bloggers who are making “Wedding Score’s” release special! Please hop by their blogs to see more of what “Wedding Score” is all about!

A Sneak-Peek | Librarians of Willow Hollow

Published on by Amanda Tero7 Comments
Last month, you got to meet Lena. Of course, I didn’t give you much about her or her story, so today I want to do just that! What’s more, you’ll get sneak-peek into all four characters’ stories!
Today, it is my honor and privilege to introduce to you…

Miss Ivory Bledsoe
the heroine of A.M. Heath’s “Hearts on Lonely Mountain.”

When Ivory Bledsoe left home to minister to the people of Willow Hollow, she never expected to be the one shunned and left all alone … Alone that is, except for the company of a 5-year-old boy and his uncle, who can’t stand her.

Now, to find out more about Lena, you’ll have to go digging around on my friends’ blogs. Then come back here and let’s chat some! Which character do you think you’ll most identify with? Whose story are you most excited about? Which one do you think will be the happiest? The saddest?

Find out more about my heroine and the others by visiting Faith Blum, Alicia Ruggieri, and A.M. Heath.

Get all three “Tales of Faith” eBooks for less than the cost of a frappe!

Okay, so I just used frappe because it’s one of my favorites. But it’s true… right now, these guys are on sale on Amazon Kindle for $.99, $.99, and $1.99, which is a total of $3.97. And I don’t know about you, but when I get a frappe, I drink it in less than an hour. And I can guarantee these books will last you longer than that (unless you’re an insane superstar at speedreading).

ALSO… this is the very first time that “Protecting the Poor” is on Kindle for a reduced price! Yeah, usually it’s $3.99.

Just sayin’… 😉

I also have a couple of short stories for free (what can I say? They’re both wintery ones… can’t wait for that cold weather to be HERE!)…

Feeling nostalgic…

Published on by Amanda Tero4 Comments

I’ve been thinking about this little book a lot lately. 

An author’s first “real work” holds a special place in their heart. Sure, a few of my short stories reached the Amazon shelves before this one, but this was the story that really made me believe that I was an actual author, not a hobby writer. I learned so much while writing and publishing it–lessons that I have applied to every single project I have done since its release. And yes… sometimes I just get nostalgic over it… guess memories do that to you. 😉

What is the book that holds a special place in your heart (this question can apply to both authors and readers, so have at it!)?

Happy Read-a-Book Day!

Published on by Amanda Tero4 Comments
It’s national read-a-book day!!!!! 

As a small way of celebrating, I decided to snap a quick shot of all my books.



1… We’re not going to talk about how long it took me to get this picture. 

2… But, wow! This is THE FIRST time I have compiled all my books into a picture (minus a couple short stories). 

3… WHEN DID ALL THIS HAPPEN?!?! I am completely overwhelmed with what GOD has done here!!!! ❤ 

4… God is so good!!! It is by His grace alone that any of this has happened!!

What are you reading today??? If you’re an author, send me an all-book picture of you and your works!!!
In chronological order of publication

Release Day!!!

Published on by Amanda Tero8 Comments
Today has come a VERY LONG LAST!!!!!! 😀 To say I’m excited is almost an understatement. I have a lot of feelings right now. I have learned so much in the time that it took to write, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, edit, edit, and edit again. This has by far been the most difficult project to date, but I am very thankful that God has faithfully seen me through it and has given me everything I needed to release another book. And I am so thrilled that it can finally be in your hands!!!
I had to do an improptu mini-photoshoot. 😉
I still only have the proof copy in, so I’ll just have to do another photoshoot later… 🙂

As I was working on editing “Protecting the Poor,” I listened to a sermon that just fit perfectly with the message I was presenting (it shouldn’t surprise me when that happens—maybe I should say, it encourages me, because it just solidifies that this is the message God has for this specific work). You have Dumphey, the rugged and strong, and Noel, the timid and inadequate. And Alistair Begg so fluently expounded on our perception of what makes a Christian leader and who God chooses. Here are a few quotes from the sermon.
“Jehoshaphat is a reminder to us that the kind of contemporary picture of effective Christian leadership is in the strong, rugged, ruthless, handsome quarterback. When you read the Bible, what do you discover? That the men and women that God picks up and uses are so often marked by hesitancy and timidity and caution, uneasiness, a sense of their own personal inadequacy—in other words, unlikely people.”

“God’s purpose is that we might depend upon Him entirely.”

“You see, but the temptation is to go to the bookstore to find a book that tells me how I may not be powerless and clueless. That will be a bad book! That will be an unhelpful book! Because it is in my very powerlessness, and it is in my very cluelessness, that I come to stand before God and say, ‘I don’t know what to do, but my eyes are upon you.’”

“TheSecret Slipper” is a lot more closely related to “Protecting the Poor” than “Befriendingthe Beast.” Dumphey, Noel, Philaon, Barat, Feroci, and Zuzene first emerged in “The Secret Slipper.” You can still read “Protecting the Poor” without having formerly read “The Secret Slipper,” but a few details make more sense if you read Slipper first.
About “The Secret Slipper”
Being a cripple is only the beginning of Lia’s troubles. It seems as if Bioti’s goal in life is to make Lia as miserable as possible. If Lia’s purpose is to be a slave, then why did God make her a cripple? How can He make something beautiful out of her deformity?

Raoul never questioned the death of his daughter until someone reports her whereabouts. If Ellia is still alive, how has she survived these ten years with her deformity? When Raoul doesn’t know who to trust, can he trust God to keep Ellia safe when evidence reveals Bioti’s dangerous character?

As time brings more hindrances, will Raoul find Ellia, or will she forever be lost to the father she doesn’t even know is searching for her?

It is not necessary to read Books 1 and 2 of the Tales of Faith series before “Protectingthe Poor,” but I do reference all former MCs—especially toward the end of “Protecting the Poor” (but I’ll not say any more to give away spoilers). I will say this: the epilogue concludes all of their journeys.
About Befriending the Beast 
Belle has returned unannounced to the castle to restore her relationship with the king, her father. Her hopes are dashed with the devastating message: “The king refuses to see you.” Convinced that God has led her home, she is unwilling to return to Lord and Lady Kiralyn.

Time is running out for the decision that will change her life. When tragedy strikes, will she and her father be pulled further apart or knit together? Could she stay at the castle even if she will never see her father again?
