It’s been a long time since I posted on here. Sorry about that, but being a new mom and writer is harder work than I ever imagined. But good news! I get to tell you about my new book with Simon Pulse!
Drum roll, please….
Part ghost story, part epic roadtrip, and part reluctant love story, DAMAGED offers readers another piercing, poignant story full of emotional truth from author Amy Reed.
After Kinsey’s best friend Camille dies in a car accident during which Kinsey was driving, Kinsey shuts down, deciding that numbness is far better than mourning. All she wants during the last few weeks of high school is to be left alone, but Camille’s mysterious boyfriend, Hunter–who was also in the car that night–has different ideas.
Despite all of Kinsey’s efforts, she can’t outrun Camille, who begins haunting her dreams. Sleep deprived and on the verge of losing it, Kinsey runs away with Hunter to San Francisco. As they drive across the country, trying to escape both the ghost of Camille and their own deep fears, Kinsey questions all she once believed about her friendship with Camille. Hunter, meanwhile, falls into a spiral of alcoholism, anger, and self-loathing. Ultimately, Kinsey and Hunter must come to terms with what they’ve lost and accept that they can’t outrun pain.
What do you think?

Hi Carol,
Thanks so much for your message! I’d love to do a reading at your store. I’m actually planning on spending a whole month in Seattle this summer, sometime around May or June. Maybe then?
Would you be able to sell my books at your store?
Best wishes,
Amy

3 questions
1. In the beginning of the book it mostly always says that you get the inspirations for your stories through experiences you’ve encountered throughout your life. To what extent have you dealt with/ been through most of the events that happen in your novel and if so, which book mainly includes events from your life?
2. Is there any chance of you ever going to New Jersey possibly this summer? My friend and I are huge fans of your work! [:
Have a lovely afternoon! xx
