Well, I have been so busy, I just haven't had time to update my page. Lots of neat things happening. IMMORTAL SINS will be out in October. Romantic Times said: ""An almost-evil vampire trapped in a painting by a vengeful wizard for deflowering his daughter? Ashley's latest is jam-packed with surprises. The abundance of plot devices, which should slow the story down, instead give it the momentum to become a fast-faced romp. Kudos to Ashley for another winner! Whitney Kate Sullivan." Thank you,… Continue

Well, we had a sad thing happen in our house. Our Pomeranian, Teddi, passed away at the age of 17 1/2. Hard to remember a time when she wasn't with us. We recently bought a new puppy, another Pomeranian. Her name is Lady and she's already found a place in our hearts. It's hard to be sad when she's around. She's quite a character. Right now, she's asleep on the floor of my office. I'm looking forward to the publication of my upcoming book, Immortal Sins, which will be out in October. I went to… Continue

The last time I posted here, my book, NIGHT'S MASTER, had just come out. Now, as I write this, my book, NIGHT'S PLEASURE, is due out at the end of the month. It's the 4th book in the series. The 5th book, tentatively titled NIGHT'S MISTRESS, will be out next year. I have two books coming out this year ~ Night's Master, and a book as yet untitled, which is due in October. And two books next year ~ an untitled story (that I'm crazy about) scheduled for February 2010, and Night's Mistress in Oc… Continue

Well, it's been months since I've updated my page. The third book in my Night series - Night's Master - is in stores now. I'm happy to say that it's been on the USA Today bestseller list for the last two weeks, a rare treat for me. The fourth book in my Night series - Night's Pleasure - will be out in February. (For those who have read the excerpt from Night's Illusion in the back of Night's Master, be advised that my editor changed the title to Night's Pleasure). I have another book due ou… Continue

I'm happy to announce that my historical time travel book, currently titled Shadows Through Time, has been picked up by Cerridwen Press. It will be published first as an eBook, and then in paperback. I don't have any details as to a pub date yet. My agent thinks the turn around time will be about six months. I'm just happy it's being published! Mandy Continue

Night's Master Amanda Ashley Kensington Oct ISBN 0821780638 Vampire Romance **** Almost immediately, Kathy McKenna and Rafe Cordova are drawn together, and not just because the lovely bookstore owner can sense paranormal beings, such as vampires, which is what Rafe is. Despite all the good common sense arguments against getting involved, the two fall in love at the worst possible time, in the midst of a war between vampires and shape shifters and just as after a lull of a quarter c… Continue

This is my favorite show. CBS has canceled it, but some devoted fans, myself included, are trying to save the show. If you'd like to help, you can sign a petition voting to save the show. I don't know if it will do any good, but it can't hurt. Thanks bunches. Mandy Continue

Well, what a wake-up call I had this morning. My phone rang at 8:30 and when I answered it, I heard a man say he was calling from the Mark and Brian show and that my son, David, had told them that I write “some of those romance novels with Fabio on the cover”. I said is this for real? He said yes and that Fabio was there. Fabio said hi. I told Fabio I had met him in Orange County at a Romance Writers of America meeting, and at a department store when he was selling his cologne. Unfortunately,… Continue

So, here we are in April already. Sheesh, how the time flies. I hate to see it go by so fast, and yet I'm always anxious for my next book to come out. I've been reading the copy edited manuscript for my October book, NIGHT'S MASTER. I don't know about other writers, but every time I read my work, I make changes! This time I added a few things here and there, deleted a few things, changed a few things, including the heroine's hair color. I really love my Night series. I have two more books pl… Continue
