One of my fellow 2014 Golden Heart® sisters (aka Dreamweavers) is Amy DeLuca, who has released her first NEW ADULT novel. Writing as Amy Patrick, her novel CHANNEL 20 SOMETHING is available now at AMAZON, and all other outlets (see below) beginning August 12!
Amy is a two-time Golden Heart finalist (2013 and 2014) who writes Young Adult fiction as Amy DeLuca and New Adult romance as Amy Patrick. She lives in Rhode Island with her husband and two sons and actually craves the heat and humidity of Mississippi, where she grew up. She’s been a professional singer and news anchor and currently narrates audio books as well as working as a station host for a Boston TV station.
Here’s the blurb about the book:
22-year-old Heidi Haynes is almost one year into her “real life”. She has her first reporting job, her first apartment, and a comfortable relationship with her college sweetheart. But for some reason she’s not as eager to talk about walking down the aisle as he is.
Heidi secretly longs for big cities, big-market breaking news, and real independence from her way-too-close-by helicopter parents. Problem is, the last time she left the security of home for new places and new people, things didn’t go so well. Disastrously, in fact, and she came running back to a local college and a “safe” boyfriend.
Aric Serrano is definitely not safe.
He’s six-feet-four-inches of missing-Hemsworth-brother-hotness and plans to stay in small-market-Southern-Hell just long enough to grab a cup of coffee and put together a kick-ass “escape tape”. He’ll serve his one-year contract, then he’s taking off for a higher rung on the TV sports ladder—alone—the way he likes it. Then he meets his new co-anchor.
Heidi would be so much more comfortable if she could simply ignore Aric. He’s just her type—the type she’s so careful to avoid these days. But that becomes impossible when she’s forced to work closely with him on the weekend newscast. Now the attraction between them is growing even faster than the ratings, and what happens behind the scenes is the real news.
CHANNEL 20 SOMETHING is the first book in a New Adult series about twenty-somethings entering the world of TV broadcasting, where what happens behind the scenes is the real news.

Thank for featuring my cover and book release news Denny! And HUGE congratulations again to you for bringing home the Golden Heart!
I started reading Channel 20 Something just last night. May I say catnip? Hated to turn out the light. Hated to go to work. Can’t wait to get the day’s chores done so I can read more about Heidi and Aric. Amy, congratulations on a fabulous book!
The read is as good as the cover!
