Amanda writes mysteries, adventures, and speculative fiction for homeschool kids. Her books are high on humor and relationships with an overt biblical worldview.
Currently, all her books exist within the Collar Cases Universe, an anthropomorphic world with an investigative journalist inspired by Superman’s Lois Lane and the worldbuilding of Disney’s Zootopia.
As a former children’s librarian and summer camp counselor, Amanda feels most at home wearing costumes in public and leading games for kids. She also has a passion for teaching student writers.
Her academic education includes an English BA from Malone University and a Masters of Library and Information Science from Kent State.
Her industry education includes Jerry B. Jenkin’s Christian Writers Guild, Author Media’s Obscure No More and Book Launch Blueprint, and more.
