Amanda Marie was born in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Like any other female growing up in the '90s she is a fan of artists like Backstreet Boys, Five, Aaron Carter, Nick Carter, and AJ McLean. She started writing when she was in junior high and from there went to write many "Fan Fictions" (still online today) and some of her own original stories. Amanda spent a year living in Brookings, Oregon with her newfound sister and spent time on the local community stages. She spends her free time listening to music and watching Ghost Adventures and Castle. She also likes to rockhunt. She currently lives in Klamath Falls with her two children, dog, mother, and disabled grandmother while she works on her writing career. Amanda has a degree in business management and just received her Master's degree in Creative Writing at Full Sail University in 2012. She hopes to use what she learns to teach at a college or high school level and also to bring her books to life on the big screen. She had the opportunity to be an extra in the film Redwood Highway starring Shirley Knight, Tom Skerritt, and James LeGros. Redwood Highway is available for purchase on Amazon.
