WHEN FALL FADES Author, Amy Leigh Simpson

Volume 1 No. 11

On the Horizon at WildBlue

wildblue bison

The October eZine is dedicated to WHEN FALL FADES, a new genre crossing romantic mystery novel from The Girl Next Door series by Amy Leigh Simpson, scheduled for release October 30th. I don’t know if it’s the ingrained influence of the school-semester schedule or the weather, but I always seem to read more during the Fall months.

WFF meme 3WHEN FALL FADES is the perfect book to curl up with as the warm embrace of Summer retreats into distant memory and the crisp cool of Autumn brings an urgency to the landscape. Here in Colorado, October always feels more like early Winter than Fall. Halloweens are somewhat stifled by turtlenecks and mittens and puffy parkas; the ski resorts are rushing to offer the earliest open runs.

What does Fall mean to you–beyond the consumer pumpkin spiced cliches? What is your sensory memory of Autumn? What are your favorite traditions? Email mackenzie@wildbluepress.com and we will share our favorite repsonses on our blog and FaceBook page.

Watch a WHEN FALL FADES Character Sketch with Amy Leigh Simpson. In this segment, Amy describes one of the two main protagonists, Archer, from her debut novel.

Readers who subscribe for our free membership will receive the publication once a month, granting them access to exclusive content from authors and experts in our expanding genres, as well as advanced notice of contests and giveaways. Don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already!
