New Britain, CT May 13, 2014:  Blogger and author Kimberley Linstruth-Beckom who is best known for her articles, blog postings, and books on the disease Fibromyalgia is taking on the pen name Amanda Kimberley for her first fiction release entitled Forever Friends.

Linstruth-Beckom has been writing for over three decades in various genres that include poetry, non-fiction, and short story fiction. She is an award winning poet and has been recognized by Health magazine (http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20386806_2,00.html) for one of the best blogs relating to the disease Fibromyalgia. Many health organizations, including Health Line, which has recognized her blog three years in a row, (http://www.healthline.com/health-slideshow/best-fibromyalgia-blogs#6) have also boasted that her blog is helpful and informative for sufferers. She has written a few short length books geared towards specific aspects of the disease for sufferers and caregivers. "Many people with the disease have a hard time sitting in one position for any length of time. Being conscious of that, I make my books a little on the short side so my readers can read as pain-free as possible.” Said Kimberley

Linstruth-Beckom is now expanding her writing talents into paranormal fiction and is taking on that world by storm with the new pen name Amanda Kimberley. “By day I’m a no non-sense non-fiction writer and by night, I dawn my bathrobe and write paranormal romance. It’s like I have an alter-ego once I put on my robe.” Said Amanda Kimberley. Amanda Kimberley’s Forever Friends will be available world-wide through Amazon within the coming weeks. It is currently available in the U.S. in print and digital format. (http://www.amazon.com/Amanda-Kimberley/e/B00K95ML5S/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1) END
