News
The biggest news, of course, is that my first thriller, The Dollmaker, from MIRA Books is now in bookstores everywhere. Here is what one reviewer on Amazon had to say about it:
With The Dollmaker, author Amanda Stevens conjures up James Patterson and Anne Rice in this creepy gothic chiller of a novel. Making the leap from the romantic suspense yarns for which she's known to psychological suspense thriller, Stevens steers clear of the throwaway potboiler and crafts a well-constructed, multi-layered plot ripe with police corruption, child abduction, and enough creepy dolls to make one shudder at the next mention of Madame Alexander. It's John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil meets "House of Wax" - minus Paris Hilton with just a hint of John Grisham's Southern sensibilities.
My second thriller from MIRA Books will be published in March, 2008. It’s tentatively titled The Devil’s Footprints and is based on the legend by the same name. If you aren’t familiar with it, the folklore goes something like this:
“The cloven footprints, which appeared overnight in heavy snowfall, have never been adequately explained. According to reports, they stretched for miles and went through solid walls and across rivers, appearing on the other side as though there was no barrier. The extent of the footprints may have been exaggerated at the time, and they may have been the result of freak atmospheric conditions. But in truth the footprints – if that is what they were – still remain a complete mystery.”
You can read new reviews of The Dollmaker at The Best Reviews, Armchair Interviews, and Unspeakable Horror.
Or listen to a sample of the audio book at Audible.com.
New interviews are up at Romance Reviews Today and at E. I. Johnson's MySpace site. E.I. is the author of the young adult novel Wireless in the Fabric of Time.
I’ll be guest-blogging at Alison Kent’s Blah Blog on Friday, March 9, and at the Intrigue Authors blog all through March.
Don't forget the Creepy Doll contest that is still up and running on my site. I’ll be posting some entries here at Blasphemous Rumours next week. Entry deemed the creepiest will receive a $25 Barnes and Noble gift certificate.

The Devil's Footprints is coming out this month? March 2007? Yeehaaw!
I'm reading The Dollmaker now. I'm reviewing it for Spinetingler Magazine. You sent it to me recently, and let me tell you, you ROCK! I love your writing style. The story is fantastic. Characters completely real. I haven't finished the book yet because I'm slammed with stuff right now. But I'm very impressed.
You've got a new fan.
Hi Trace--Oh, man, your post made my day. But I think there's a booboo in my news. I'm working on The Devil's Footprints right now. The book won't be out until next year. Please don't hate me. I'll go fix it right now.
Amanda
P.S. Can't wait to read your review!
I thought it might be a booboo but would've been thrilled if it wasn't. Can't wait to read The Devil's Footprints!
Thanks, Trace!
