Today, I am so happy to spotlight on my blog a wonderful Young Adult Paranormal Romance writer
AMY DURHAM
Amy Durham discovered her love of writing in the sixth grade. What began as a love of writing poetry soon turned into stories scribbled into school notebooks. In the eighth grade, her English teacher told her she was good at it and encouraged her to continue to put pen to paper. At that moment, the die was cast, and writing would forever be a part of her life.
As an adult, Amy focuses her efforts on writing Young Adult Fiction... adventure, romance, and life-lessons... woven together as imagination and escape for young readers. Amy holds a firm belief that books are not only entertaining, but have the ability to transform young lives. A book can educate. A book can teach compassion and kindness. A book can spark interest. A book can be a companion. Simply put, books can accompany and guide young readers as they try to navigate their way through the twisted, confusing roads of adolescence.
She lives in Kentucky, where she is a middle school teacher. She and her husband are raising three wild, intelligent, and creative boys, giving her plenty of fodder for the love and adventure she enjoys putting in her stories!
Amy provided one her favorite quotes about writing.
To me, these words say so much
about the heart and soul of a writer. Writing isn't easy. It's hard. It's
tedious. It isn't a quick process. It can be a very lonely endeavor. But for
those of us who write, it's a necessary part of who we are. It's done out of
love and drive and the need to create.
I think about the stories I've
written... some complete, some still waiting... and everyone of them is full of
the "breathings of my heart". A girl who's forever felt plain and
ordinary being seen as beautiful and extraordinary by a man who loves her... a
dream thought lost resurrected once again... finding self-worth in your life's
work... deep, aching wounds you thought would last forever finally being
healed... and so on and so on and so on...
Her latest young adult paranormal romance is now on sale. It’s a story of
forgiveness, grace, and second chances… something I think everyone can relate
to… something that everyone should experience in a profound and life-changing
way.

Zoe
Gray lost her father... in more ways than one. Angry and bitter, Zoe spends the
summer before her senior year of high school doing everything she can to
forget, legal or not. But a close call triggers a reality check, and Zoe
decides to put her life back together, a task that proves a lot harder than she
thought.
Adrian
Shaw shows up on the first day of school, creating quite a stir with his
striking good looks and gleaming black motorcycle. But Adrian is much more than
a "biker boy", and as Zoe discovers, he may just hold the key she
needs to put her life back on the right path.
But
as they do battle with evil forces that want nothing more than to destroy Zoe's
chance at a normal life, will their feelings for one another make them
stronger, or be the reason Zoe's happiness slips away forever?
And
will Zoe learn to forgive before it's too late?
