It’s pub day for my new romantasy novel, THE ASH TRIALS!! 💕 Now available on Amazon — just in time for Valentine’s Day. 📚 I’ll drop the link in my stories, and here’s what it’s about — I think you’ll love this action-packed book full of deadly trials and romance: 💘 The deadliest game is remembering who you are. In the isolated prison of Ashguard where the kingdom’s most dangerous criminals await judgment, one yearly event offers both salvation and destruction: The Ash Trials. Saffron Vale awakens in an Ashguard cell wearing a ruined wedding dress with no memory of who she is. As the only powerless human competing against murderous shifters and spellcasters, she must survive the six otherworldly trials that transform villains into legends—or she’ll die trying. Her only allies? A childhood friend turned royal commander and a mysterious assassin who claims she’s the real monster in the prison. As competitors fall and ancient magic stirs, Saffron must uncover the truth: was she truly an innocent bride, or something far more dangerous? #romantasy #romancebooks #writer #book #newbook

ACOTAR, Phantasma, Blood & Ash, and Quicksilver were easily some of my favorite books this year — reviews are on AmySuto.com! I’m still delusional enough to think that I can hit 100 books read in the next few weeks ~ and ~ finish my novel draft. #amreading #amwriting #books #romantasy

✍️ 40 days. Nearly 90,000 words written. Multiple rewrite passes. And I’m almost done with the full manuscript for my upcoming romantasy book, The Ash Trials. ⁠ ⁠ I just finished re-outlining the last sections of the book, and I’m so excited to share this book with you on Valentine’s Day 2025. ❤️⁠ ⁠ I’ve put my whole heart into the draft, trying to bring you a fast-paced, sexy book that will shock you and leave you breathless. ⁠ ⁠ 📚 I’ve never written fantasy (or romantasy!) on this scale before, but after spending this year reading over 70 books in the genre, I think I’m going to bring you something new — that still pays homage to the stories I love the most in this space.⁠ ⁠ Want to be an ARC reader? (Meaning -- you'll get an Advanced Reader Copy of the book for free before it comes out!) DM me and I'll send you the form to fill out to get on the list :)⁠ ⁠ #romantasy #author #writer #books #amreading

Whether you're a beginner or expert, I've got stories and strategies in this book that will help you level up. ⁠ ⁠ ✨ THE NOMAD DETECTIVE: VOLUME I is my debut short story collection. It's a fictional detective thriller following Detective Violet Chase, a private eye who travels the world solving cases in hopes of finding her missing sister. It's a fun romp with some action, adventure, and romance. ⁠ ⁠ Search them on Amazon or go to amysuto dot com for the link!⁠ ⁠ Enjoy! ⁠

My debut dark romantasy novel is LIVE on Amazon for pre-orders (officially out on Valentine’s Day, 2025!)⁠ ⁠ ✨ Deadly trials, enemies to lovers — all set on an island that conjures the competitor’s worst fears to use against them.⁠ ⁠ 📚 Cover design by the insanely talented @ashleymunson⁠ ⁠ 📖 Pre-order it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNTHJQ16?ref_=pe_93986420_775043100 or go to the link in my IG stories!⁠ ⁠ #author #romantasy #writer #amwriting #book

Don’t mind me: this year I turned 30, published a short story collection, traveled the world, and trained as a samurai. Grateful for this year and looking forward to the next 💕 #writer #traveling #travel #amwriting

Just another day in my life as a writer working remotely in NYC ✍️ Get high-paying wriring jobs on my Substack, From the Desk of Amy Suto! #writing #amwriting #freelance #travel #writer

Just finished 3 weeks working remotely in Paris with Kyle and am en route to NYC!⁠ ⁠ 3 things I loved about my time in Paris:⁠ ⁠ ✅ Bread is taken seriously here. The bakeries are next level and the baguettes are unlike anywhere else.⁠ ⁠ ✅ While it's still a big city, there's a more peaceful side to Paris if you find the right little neighborhoods. Time slows down when you're having brunch on a cute patio.⁠ ⁠ ✅ I got so much great writing done here. Walkable cities are great places to wander in between writing sessions, and Paris was no different.⁠ ⁠ Travel guide coming soon 👀⁠ ⁠ #writing #travel #amwriting

On my agenda this week as a writer working remotely from Paris: ⁠ ⁠ ✅ Client calls + doing some writing for my freelance memoir ghostwriting clients⁠ ⁠ ✅ Tonight I'm doing an escape room with my partner Kyle (we're escaping a magician's lair!)⁠ ⁠ ✅ Doing a food + market tour with a local chef⁠ ⁠ ✅ Finishing the last blog in my working remotely series -- my travel guide to Paris! Ending this blog series soon because I'm no longer going to be a digital nomad (crazy!) -- as I'm going to be picking a home base soon!⁠ ⁠ ✅ Meeting with some potential clients who are needing writers (and I share these opps and more on my writing job board -- https://fromthedeskofamysuto.substack.com/s/monday-job-board-for-writers ⁠ ⁠ Exciting week -- can't wait to share more with you :)

Visiting some old lighthouses with @kylefcords as part of our roadtrip in Portland, Maine — next stop, Providence, RI! 🍁 #travel #digitalnomad #author #roadtrip

Fall roadtrip on the East Coast so far with @kylefcords 🍁 #travel #digitalnomad #writer #author

First time back in the States since February! I’ve been doing a fall roadtrip with @kylefcords around the Northeast, and we’re currently in Portland, Maine. 🍁 I’m experiencing a bit of culture shock after spending most of my year abroad, but am enjoying this sleepy seaside town and have sampled many different fall-themed sweet treats. Providence is our next stop — and then headed to Paris next week! ✈️ #travel #digitalnomad #nomad #fall
