If you’re in Denver tonight, I’d love to see you at the Book Bar from 7-9pm. I’ll be there with my fellow Wicked Ink Book authors to sign copies of Tick Tock: Seven Tales of Time. Here we are with our cool Tick Tock banner…
Get your copy, get it signed, meet the authors, grab a libation – what could be better on a Friday night in May? Come on out!
My novella, Untimely, releases today in TICK TOCK: Seven Tales of Time published by Wicked Ink Books! Order in print or ebook now. Early reviews have been great, like this one:
This is an incredible collection of novellas with a unified theme (time). It was intriguing to see how each author wove her own tale based on this premise. The true variety of stories in Tick Tock were refreshing and kept me turning the pages!

My new time-travel novella, Untimely, is coming March 28th in an anthology published by Wicked Ink Books. This publishing venture was conceived by a group of Denver-based authors over a few glasses of wine during a writing retreat in Breckenridge, Colorado. We figured, we all write speculative fiction, so why not write a series of themed anthologies together?
Today, I’m thrilled to share the cover of our 2016 anthology, TICK TOCK: SEVEN TALES OF TIME, featuring stories of adventure, mystery, horror and romance.

Untimely is a fun, faced-paced time-travel story set at the University of Virginia where I attended summer camp as a teen. I LOVED the history, architecture, and mystery of the place, and I enjoyed weaving my memories of the campus and the town of Charlottesville through the story.
I hope you’ll support this new venture and preorder a copy. If you like what you read, let me know. It could be the start of a new series!

WHAT I’M WORKING ON:
I’m rewriting Beyond the Mist, a YA science fiction thriller that I wrote a few years ago, between The Defiance and The Fire Sisters. Act I is drafted and Act II is shaping up. I’ll keep you posted on my progress!
Two book signing events coming up this month in Denver!
EVENT #1
WHAT: Signing Party
WHEN: Sunday, November 15th from 12-2pm
WHERE: Lowry Beer Garden 7577 East Academy Blvd. Denver, CO 80230
Come celebrate the completion of the Brilliant Darkness series. I’ll be signing all three novels from the series, and there will be swag, sweet treats, and a few giveaways. The venue has alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and food to purchase, along with ping pong tables, games, and a place for kids to run around. Families are welcome! If you’re local, I’d love to see you there! (Broncos game will be on after the party – 2:25pm kickoff)
RSVP to aimee AT aghenley DOT com if you’re planning to stop by
EVENT #2
WHAT: Small Business Saturday local author event
WHEN: Saturday, November 28th from 2-4pm
WHERE: The Bookies Bookstore 4315 E. Mississippi Ave. Denver, CO 80246
Join me and several other local authors to sign books, chat about books, and be surrounded by books! If you haven’t been to The Bookies, you MUST come check it out. It’s a children’s book lover’s dream, and they have adult books, as well. Take a break from the leftover turkey sandwiches, stock up on bookish gifts for the holidays, and support Colorado authors! No need to RSVP for this one.
Hope to see you at one or both events in November.
Presumably, if you’re reading this blog, you’ve already read The Scourge, am I right? If so, you are loved! And you can share that love by forwarding this post to a reading friend who might like the series. After all, The Scourge is FREE, and The Defiance is discounted, through 10-27. It’s a great chance to get started on the books for cheap!
As I write this, The Scourge is #193 on the overall Amazon Kindle store Free list and #1 in two categories. Please help give it a boost to #1 overall by sharing the sale with a friend!
Also, if you’ve read The Fire Sisters now, please consider leaving a review on its Amazon page. Reviews are incredibly important, as they help readers decide whether to try a book. Stand up and be heard (and hopefully convince someone to give it a try.)
Thanks so much for all your support!
In my new video series (ooh la la, très exciting) I will answer Super Reader questions. This second one is from Andrea, a Super Reader on Facebook, who asks, “How do you make your characters come alive in your books? Do you get to know them first through rough drafts and background stories?”
I will try to answer her here with as few “ums” and “uhs” as possible. Wish me luck.
