So I’ve been asked by many of you who have already bought and read CAGED (thanks for that) when the next installment of Ruby’s adventures will be published. The short answer is: SOON. Unfortunately, I first need to put it through some rigorous editing and then format it. I’m REALLY …
Single Tear…
I’m standing here, typing, fighting back tears, completely overwhelmed by the acknowledgments I am receiving about CAGED. I can’t put into words what it means to me to hear that other people are as invested in it as I am (so I’m not going to try). Putting your work out …
More Top 100’s
This is the BEST sandwich EVER! Two of my favorite authors and my favorite series. I feel like I need a cold shower…or a cigarette.

Just Makes Me Smile…
Yep…that says 83.
…And Then I Nearly Crapped My Pants
I was standing by the kitchen island, refreshing my CAGED sale site on Amazon when my husband blurts out over my shoulder…”Go back! Â You’re ranked in the top 100!” WHAT? I almost fell over, but sure enough, when I scrolled down the screen I saw CAGED in the #93 position …
It’s Published… CAGED by Amber Lynn Natusch
Ladies and gentlemen…I’m officially a published author 😉 CAGED is now available on Kindle for purchase at My Amazon Store http://astore.amazon.com/amberlynnnatu-20 Direct Link to CAGED by Amber Lynn Natusch on Amazon.com It’s been a long, arduous road, but I’m hoping that it will all be worth it in the end. …
If At First You Don’t Succeed…
Two words: Epic Fail! Bry and I were huddled around the laptop last night, anxiously reviewing the eighth version of the file we needed to upload to kindle to get Caged published. Â Once we were nearly cross-eyed, we determined we were as error free as we were ever going to …
About me…
I stared blankly at my computer last night for at least ten minutes, asking myself what it is that people would find interesting about me. Â Most books have a blurb about the author at the end, discussing where they live, who they live with, etc. Â I didn’t want to do …
The Time Has Come…
So here we are – it’s time to upload Caged to Kindle, and Barnes and Noble.  We’re hoping to do it tonight or tomorrow, but either way, it should be available for purchase by the end of the week 🙂 I’m going to send out a detailed list of places …
The Cast (as I see them)…
OK…here they are: Ruby: (face is perfect, coloring is perfect…wee bit too skinny for the role. We’d have to put about 10lbs of muscle on her first) Sean: Cooper: Ronnie: Sophie: Eric: So here’s the deal with Eric. I have searched high and low for DAYS, and for the life …
Update…
So my copyright nonsense is officially sent off, overnighted to DC, so as of tomorrow morning my butt should be legally covered to release whatever chunk of the novel I decide to. I’m going to try and call to confirm that they have everything they need beforehand, but I’m aiming …
Anne Rice, a True Class Act…
In my quest for answers about publishing abroad, I decided to post a comment on Anne Rice’s Facebook wall (yes…THE Anne Rice) to see if any of her myriad followers might be able to help me. Â What I didn’t expect was to have the more-than-famous author respond to me directly. …
My Idol, KMM…
When I opened an email from my friend and editing nazi, Jen Krom, I never expected to see what I did. Â Within the text she had pasted a message from a friend of her’s in Austria who had seen my blog on Facebook and checked out CAGED’s summary. Â What she …
Casting…
I’m on a mission to find the actors/models that I would cast as my characters from the CAGED series if it were a movie. Â I have some lined up and have posted them on Facebook, but I’m working feverishly to round up the rest so that I can post them …
First Chapter…
At the behest of my friends, I’ve decided to release the first chapter of CAGED for others to view on my blog (for free!) so that they can get a feel for the tone, writing, story, etc. My dilemma about doing this is as such: it’s three pages. Â How much …
Liebster Blog Award
So… I’ve been nominated for a Liebster Blog Award, which appears to be an award given out to up and coming blog sites with under 200 followers. Â The only catch is that I need to nominate 5 other Blogs that I feel deserve the spotlight. Â It’s a great way to …
Teaser Time…
I LOVE when authors are sadistic and give you little snippets of an upcoming novel so you can get nice and worked up before it’s actually available. Consider this my first stab at the aforementioned sadism: As the blood drained not only from his face, but also from the faces …
Fear or Fun?
With my impending (self-imposed) deadline rapidly approaching, the reality of what I’m about to do is fully sinking in. And it’s terrifying. Writers would likely all agree on the fact that your work is a reflection of you. Therefore, if someone thinks your work is terrible, it’s extremely hard not …
The Name Game…
I think one of the hardest processes for a writer is naming the characters. It’s a time-consuming quandary fraught with indecision, and it’s not unlike picking a name for your own child – you want it to be the perfect fit. Once you come up with what you think is …
