Biography

I live in North Georgia with my husband and two children. I spend part of my time teaching at a local preschool and writing, while the rest is devoted to family. Writing is new to me, but storytelling has been a life long hobby. I love using words to create images and feelings for others. Writing offers me an escape from the wonderful chaos that is my life. Raising two small children takes a lot of energy and I often collapse in my office chair late at night and let my ideas flow. I find that I enjoy my self-published status because it gives me the freedom to write what I want, how I want. I often choose characters who may not fit the norm of what most think of as a hero or heroine. I like my characters unique and I like their story to flow from me instead of what someone else’s guidelines. I hope you enjoy my stories. I enjoy hearing from you. I do read emails and I try my best to reply if necessary. I would love to hear your ideas and all about the types of books you enjoy most. Who knows, you may give me a great new book idea? amandaanderson2@tds.net Visit me on the web too amandaandersonbooks.com

Inspiration

I am inspired by many thing. i may hear an interesting story and take that and craft it into a book, changing the setting and characters to suit. I have an active imagination and often times ideas come to me out of the blue. those are te most persistant stories. It is almost like they haunt me until I get them down on paper. When writing those I tend to sequester myself for hours at a time, my family is not especially fond of this. It is difficult to find new ideas with all of the amazing works out there. I enjoy crafting my stories in a unique way that I think makes my characters seem very real to the reader.
