about me

I usually go by Mandy (short for Amanda) I write SF/F but within that subject matter I find the paranormal the most alluring. I recently started blogging about the ups and downs of trying to find an agent and the publishing process which I have found VERY therapeutic. I'm a wife, and a mother. I love to read. I can usually devour a book in a day or two. Music is pretty central to my life. I think it boosts my brain activity! I listen to just about everything; 90's alternative, contemporary, hip-hop, pop and classical.

favourite books

Almost anything by Bernard Cornwell but particularly The Warlord Chronicles and the The Saxon Tails, The Servant of the Bones by Anne Rice and any of the Vampire Chronicles, as well as The Witching Hour series, Harry Potter, Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange, The Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris, The Twilight Saga, Any and all Shakespeare, Tolkien, I could go on and on and on.......

Mark: So sorry it took me so long to read. I was wrapping up a WIP. I've read the first story, which was very good. You write with great description and your imagination is off the charts! I liked the 'old west' feel that you gave to your space miners. In fact, it took me a bit to make the con... view book

Heidi: I've just breezed through chapter 2, and this is very, very good! Betty is so self-conscious that it's almost painful to read about it. I can relate with your character and her surroundings, (being an Idahoan ;)) and I felt instantly connected to the story. The air of mystery from the fir... view book

Michael: I've only finished Chapter 1 and I'm hooked! I'm very anxious to read on. The narrative is wonderful. My favorite sentence so far: "Tall boys are worth the climb." Your MC is likable and multi-dimensional and I found myself riding in the emotional rollercoaster right beside him. T... view book

Rachel: Wow! This is so good! You have a great knack for painting a very clear picture with your words. For instance: "It cast everything in a marigold glow and danced off the crystal chandeliers like fairies, flitting off to the corners in a rainbow of colors." I've only finished the first ... view book

Simon: I've just finished chapter one. Wow! Talk about tension. The story starts off fast-paced and doesn't loose momentum. The chapter ends leaving the reader curious to continue. I will certainly keep reading and as soon as I free up some space, I'll be sure to shelf this! Good luck in the r... view book
