I am really excited to announce my first ever serialized story. Supernatural Causes: Going Viral is a fun, fast-paced paranormal mystery about college student moonlighting as an intern at a hospital for underworlders.

Liesel Andrews spends her days studying pre-med and her nights stitching up werewolf bites and treating vampire burns. As a human who has the rare capacity to see the vampires, werewolves and witches who live in the shadows, Liesel pays her tuition by moonlighting as a medical intern at St. Benedict's Hospital for the Underworld. She figures she's doing a pretty good job of balancing her two lives until the day Jax Halloran walks into the ER. Not only is he tall, dark and obnoxious, he’s also a high ranking vampire who needs a favor. A virus is threatening the vampire community and Jax thinks Liesel is their only hope at finding a cure.

Supernatural Causes: Going Viral is now available for download from Engen Books. Three more episodes will follow in June, August and October 2017!

A brand new Call of the Sea short story will be appearing in the Fantasy From the Rock anthology coming out in April!

The story will be a new scene, set in the COTS universe, told from an alternate perspective.

The anthology is filled with works from both established and up and coming authors. Check it out if you enjoy fantasy and short fiction.

I am very excited to announce that Call of the Sea will become a trilogy thanks to Engen Books. The second book will be available in April, 2018 and the third book will be released a year later in April, 2019.

It has been a busy few months since Call of the Sea hit bookshelves this past November. I had the opportunity to do signings both at home in St. John’s, NL in December and in Ontario this past January.

I am also updating my Wattpad account with the first five chapters of Call of the Sea for those of you looking to preview the book!

Call of the Sea launches November 15!

Call of the Sea, coming in November 2015 from Fierce Ink Press, is Amanda Labonté’s debut novel. Call of the Sea is a modern fantasy story about Alex, a Newfoundland boy who has been haunted by siren song as long as he can remember. When his twin brother is mysteriously lost at sea, disappearing from a boat without so much as a ripple,

it is up to Alex to find him. His best hope just might come from the same place as the song he has heard since childhood — the alluring and dangerous girl he finds amidst the frothing ocean waves.

Fierce Ink Press has obtained international rights for Call of the Sea. Read more …
