I've been writing for over 30 years, as Madeline Baker and Amanda Ashley. In that time, I've written over 75 novels and short stories. I've written for Leisure Books, Signet Books, St. Martin's Press, and Silhouette, and I currently write paranormal romances as Amanda Ashley for Zebra Books. Many of my back-list titles have been reissued with new covers and are available from Kindle..

I'm happy to say that a number of my books have appeared on various bestseller lists, including the New York Times Bestseller List and USA Today.

When I'm not writing, I love reading (of course), going to movies and plays and spending time with my family. I'm also an avid Star Wars fan and have quite a large collection of Star Wars memorabilia, as well as Phantom of the Opera collectibles and Beauty and the Beast.

My fav movie hero is Thor, my fav singer is Gary Allan (his mother is my best friend). I also love dark chocolate anything.

Iron Wing a proud Cheyenne Warrior and Katy a white captive.

What brings them together? What will they face alone and together?

This is an unforgettable story of a ❤️ Love stronger than time or space. A love that cannot be removed no matter how others try to destroy it.

You must read this book and discover just what happens to these two people. I know it will touch your heart too.

Not my favorite Madeline Baker book, but still a good read

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2015

I really enjoyed this book, but I do have to say that it was (for me anyways) an emotionally draining book. The book covers the span of about six years from beginning to end. There's a lot that happens between the hero (Iron Wing) and the heroine (Katy) meeting and getting their happily ever after ending. There's a lot of action and it's fairly fast paced, so it keeps you interested and reading. For me, though, there were a lot of ups and downs (emotionally speaking) that led to some frustrating parts. Honestly, I felt as though the book could have been a little bit shorter without taking away from the story. But it is a really good read. If I were to give an analogy it would be similar to watching a mini series (like "Into the West" or "North and South") in one sitting. You see the characters lives change and they grow and change in the midst of all of the adversity. I love Madeline Baker's books, however this one is not my favorite of hers. I don't regret reading it, though.

A short synopsis (so that I don't give anything away) is that both Katy's father and fiancee have been killed by Indians. With her mother, Sarah, seeming distant and not showing her much affection, Katy decides to join a convent. While on the stage coach to the convent, there's an attack by the Apache. Katy is the lone survivor. A Cheyenne Indian who has been traveling with his nephew takes her back to their village in the Dakota's as a gift to Iron Wing. Of course, as most romances go, they butt heads for a while. Katy is beginning to love Iron Wing (who has refused to marry after the girl that he wanted to marry rejected him upon seeing his scars from a bear attack). There are challenges that meet Katy, more than just learning to work hard and adapt to a new culture. She's no longer a pampered "princess" but now Iron Wing's slave. When Chief Sitting Bull calls all of the Cheyenne, Lakota, and their allies together for what would become the Battle of Little Bighorn, Iron Wing decides to return Katy to her people, where she'll be safe and he'll join up with the other warriors. Along the way, Katy's kidnapped and Iron Wing's badly injured. Once he heals he sets out to reclaim the woman who has stolen his heart. But, alas, it's not that easy. A lot goes on in his quest to rescue her until, finally, he's successful. They then head home to her mother's ranch where Iron Wing feels like a duck out of water. Some more adventures lie in store for them until finally, they find a place to call home.

Ms. Baker describes Iron Wing as feeling like a wild animal that has been captured and caged. When you think about it, the analogy fits perfectly. To think of taking someone who has been free to come and go as they please, who follows the food source and lives out under the stars and take them and put them inside of a house where the way of life is totally different is heartbreaking. There's a scene towards the end of the book where Ms. Baker describes the Apache People and how they have been forced onto reservations and are starving that is simply heartbreaking. She doesn't go overboard with details, but she doesn't need to. The simplistic way that she describes the scene, a People who have all but lost their identity and their will to live but merely exist, brought tears to my eyes. It still gets me and breaks my heart to think that people can be so cruel and greedy.

Oh! I am just in love with this book. I could not put it down. My favorite words were when Katy asked Iron Wing to leave the lodge so that she could put on her clothes and he said, "this is my home, you leave." I loved the river description, the sensuality, even (yes, I know weird) the stabbing of Iron Wing. The sex abrupted like a volcano. Also, when Iron Wing saw his ex-girlfriend and stared at her nudity. I loved this part because if he had walked away, he would have been weakened as a man. All men stare and are curious at naked women. I hated when Katy was taken to the brothel, but life in those days was horrific for everyone. What I enjoy more than anything about Native American romance novels is all the manly men. They were not wimps. I enjoyed the courage, stamina and most of all the serious expressions which covered convincingly all emotions. I own many of Madeline Baker's novels and enjoy every one of them. This is by far my favorite.

American Indian Historical Romance

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2021

Iron Wing a Cheyenne Warrior. He was the strongest and a Great Leader in his tribe. He was given a white woman slave. He did not want a woman, even if she was beautiful, but it was not acceptable to turn down a gift. Katy a white woman who had been raised with everything handed to her. She did not have any skills to cook, clean, or gather, but Iron Wing taught her. Don't let what I have written so far discourage you from reading this amazing story of the hardships and history of the American Indian. This book was Greatly written. The Characters I fell in Love with and cried with them in their sorrows and rejoiced with them in their triumphs. One the best books I have read of this time in History.

Love in the Wind by Madeline Baker.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 30, 2014

LOVED IT< LOVED IT - The story went on forever, a truly beautiful story with twists and turns, and even ends on a different note to what I was expecting....... the only sad thing about it is that this sort of thing happened with the Indians being banned from their own land for the greedy white man.... and we call ourselves civilized, even by todays standards! However, this novel is beautifully written, made me feel as if I were along on the journey, so felt hot and sticky with the heat one minute, cold and shivery when the snows came, sad and happy, all the emotions one would expect from a good dramatic read. This is one author I will be catching up on and follow.
