From “Happy Anniversary”

One year ago today

I made one of the hardest

decisions of my life.

(At least it was at the time.)

As the car drove away

and you faded from view

I thought that I loved you.

Maybe once I did.


From “A World Torn”

Our world has become so very torn,

so much so that we have become worn.

Are we born as equals only to mourn

that we never took the time to have sworn

to be constant equals all throughout time?


From “For Beth”

In my dream, I woke up

in my bed and there you were

right next to me. You

took me into your arms

and told me it was all okay.

Held me while I cried.

I woke up with tears

on my cheeks.


From “Sassy Angel”

That long, golden hair

that flows down your back,

that I want noting more than

to run my fingers through.

I grit my teeth and take a breath

because I hate that I’m feeling this way.

I was never supposed to again

but you are making it impossible.





Amanda Leigh has had a love of words since before she could write them herself. Once she learned to read and write herself she just couldn’t stop. She reads any genre as long as the book sounds interesting. Which may explain why she can’t and never will be able to stick to one genre in her writing. From Contemporary Romance to Women’s Fiction to Paranormal Romance to Poetry and more to come. When she’s not writing or reading she enjoys getting swept away in a great TV show, going to the theater, listening to music, cooking and many different forms of art. She has a cat she adores and also loves Psychology, tea, coffee and chocolate.

NEW RELEASE: Twin Wars (DORK #3) by Haley Allison


Title: Twin Wars
Author: Haley Allison
Series: D.O.R.K. (#3)
Release Date: November 1, 2016
Genre: YA Contemporary
NOTE: Not a standalone. It is strongly recommended to read this series in order. Twin Wars is Book #3 of the D.O.R.K. (Diary of a Rocker's Kid) Series.

Madison Daley has grown to hate the drama that Beverly Hills and family come with… After Madison's long-lost twin sister, Raven Redinger, staged a double heartbreak video for the sake of publicity, she lost Madison's trust and instigated an all-out feud... or is it a war? Each sister is willing to do anything to finish the other for good. Raven wants to crush Madison and take everything away from her, while Madison wants to stop Raven’s reign of terror, even if she has to stoop to her level to do it.
Raven isn’t done making Madison’s life a living hell… Now Madison is caught in a whirlwind of secrets, revenge, and heartache. The only bright spot in her life is Logan Caldwell, the guy she loves, but Raven has managed to manipulate everyone in Madison’s life. Can she manage to take Logan away from her too?

Turns out keeping a diary was Madison's biggest mistake, but she's not the type of girl to back down without a fight. This rivalry is far from over, and while Raven may have won a few battles, Madison is determined to win the war.

★ BOOK 1 
Have you read Diary of a Rocker's Kid (D.O.R.K. #1)?


"My identity, my childhood, everything I ever held sacred about myself...
it's all a lie."

★ BOOK 2 


"Time will tell if Raven has a human side
or if she has too many tricks up her sleeve to ever be real."

   “Why do you guys call me ‘Princess’? I’m no princess.”
   Dalton sits back on his heels against the lockers next to me with his usual self-assured smirk. “Well, let’s see…you’re rich, your dad is a effin’ rock star, which makes him a king in my book, you’re prudish, you’re pretty, and you have delicate mannerisms sometimes. ‘Princess’ just seemed to suit you.”
   With wide eyes, I struggle to absorb everything he just told me. Delicate mannerisms? What version of Mads does he know, and where can I find her?
   My self-deprecating thoughts are interrupted when Raven appears out of nowhere with her usual swarm of girls in tow. She strides up to Giovanni Abate, who is still standing at his locker behind us. Cupping his neck with her left hand, Raven looks directly into my eyes as she slowly pulls Gio’s face down to hers. Before I can even register what’s going on, they’re in a lip-lock very similar to the one I found them in on Halloween night. Everyone in the hallway gasps and stares at Raven’s disgusting display. My stomach heaves, making me turn the other direction to avoid losing my breakfast. This is a battle tactic I wasn’t counting on her starting off with. She saved all her attack power over the past week for this one effective takedown in the hallway. I’m about to come unraveled right now in front of all these people. From the sounds they’re making, I can gather Gio is returning her kiss with equal fervor. Real or not, I’m not ready for this, and not only is it hurting me, it’s insanely disrespectful to Dalton. 
   The disrespect is not lost on my streetwise friend. I hear him growl and seethe behind me. Then I’m surprised when he grips me by the shoulders and whirls me around to face him. He leans down, looks me dead in the eyes, and probes my soul as he asks me a question.
   “You wanna get her back?”

Haley Allison is a South Carolina native. She discovered a love of writing at age fourteen and hasn't been able to turn off the motor fingers since then.
