243: Amanda Speights - Author of Love's Arrival

Our guest this week is Amanda Speights (Love's Arrival, indie published, March 2023). We discuss how her need for control meant she planned to self-publish from the very beginning but also used experts for two important tasks, why 1800's America has always held a special place in her heart, and how her own childhood trauma helped inform her heroine's struggles. A self-described "woo" advocate who meditates three times a day, Amanda credits WFWA and specifically its affinity sub-group for indie authors as essential to her writing success. Her best advice for beginning writers? Just write. Historical Western Romance author, Amanda Speights, weaves spicy tales of resilient women and bold adventures from her home at the foot of America's Mountain where she lives with her husband and daughter. Her passion for storytelling shines through her work, honoring the Old West's amorous spirit. Amanda invites her readers to saddle up and journey through love stories that are as enduring as the Rocky Mountains themselves. Amanda's debut novel, "Love's Arrival," is the first book in the Laurel Springs series, set in the Colorado Territory during the late 1800s. Amanda loves engaging with her readers and offers a newsletter to keep fans informed about her latest releases and book news at her website. She divides her time between crafting her latest historical romance, homeschooling her daughter, and immersing herself in period fiction that spotlights formidable women.
