Today we welcome Riptide Publishing to our blog with a special blog tour on Amy Lane her new release “Selfie”.
For the Selfie blog tour, Amy Lane has written a few monologues from Vinnie’s video blog, set prior to the crash that takes his life. These monologues, performed by Nick J. Russo of Dark Night Sound, correspond to scenes or memories reference by Connor in Selfie, and offer a unique look at this off-screen character.
Please visit http://riptidepublishing.com/titles/selfie and select the extras tab for all six monologues, which will be updated there as they are published.
Enjoying Bluewater Bay? All Bluewater Bay titles are being produced in audio, starting with Starstruck, written by L.A. Witt and narrated by Nick J. Russo, coming soon!
About Selfie
One year ago, actor Connor Montgomery lost the love of his life to a drunk driver. But what’s worse for Connor is what he still has: a lifetime of secrets born of hiding his relationship from the glare of Hollywood. Unable to let go of the world he and Vinnie shared, Connor films a drunken YouTube confession on the anniversary of Vinnie’s death.
Thankfully, the video was silent—a familiar state for Connor—so his secret is still safe. He needs a fresh start, and a new role on the hit TV show Wolf’s Landing might be just that.
The move to Bluewater Bay may also mean a second chance in the form of his studio-assigned assistant. Noah Dakers sees through Connor’s facades more quickly than Connor could imagine. Noah’s quiet strength and sarcastic companionship offers Connor a chance at love that Hollywood’s closet has never allowed. But to accept it, Connor must let Vinnie go and learn to live again.

About Amy Lane
Amy Lane exists happily with her noisy family in a crumbling suburban crapmansion, and equally happily with the surprisingly demanding voices who live in her head.
She loves cats, movies, yarn, pretty colors, pretty men, shiny things, and Twu Wuv, and despises house cleaning, low fat granola bars, and vainglorious prickweenies.
She can be found at her computer, dodging housework, or simultaneously reading, watching television, and knitting, because she likes to freak people out by proving it can be done.

Congratulations on your latest release, Amy. I haven’t read any of the Bluewater Bay series book (going to rectify that soonest, scout’s honor!) and the blurb of this one seemed to promise an emotional story! Should I have a box of tissue ready? 😉

So glad you enjoyed!
After finishing Selfie, this one is the one that made me cry the most. Makes me happy that Con got a second chance at love with Noah, but Vinnie…..
Vinnie!
It’s been a wonderful tour!

Thank you so much! Thanks for being there for all the monologues 🙂
Amy Lane you’re a wonderful author! You’re so in tune with your characters feelings. I’ll bet you’re one of those moms who know just the right thing to say to your own children! Have a great tour.
Aww… that is just the sweetest compliment! Thank you!
Congrats on the release of Selfie! I’ve loved listening to these monologues even though they are bittersweet. 🙂

Thank you– and I thought they were hard to write–but I have to tell you, they were harder to listen to!
Congratulations on the new book! Good luck with the release =)

Okay, so it sounds like maybe Vinnie was finally able to turn himself around in the right direction & maybe he & Connor would have been able to make it if he’d lived. Who can say now? Except for Amy Lane . . .

Oh yes– I wanted Vinnie to be flawed, but still lovable. Connor stuck with him because he was a decent guy underneath all the fuck-ups. And Noah stays with Connor for the same reason– he’s a good guy.
I can’t wait to read this!
Congratulations on the release of Selfie and looking forward to reading it!
Well, I’m sufficiently sad again. Thanks, Amy. Will the monologues be released as a whole?
congrats amy and cant wait to read
