Amanda Renee was raised in the northeast and now wriggles her toes in the warm coastal Carolina sands. Her career began when she was discovered through Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write contest. When not creating stories about love and laughter, she almost always has a camera in her hand. She enjoys the company of her schnoodle—Duffy, photography, road trips, writing songs on guitar and piano, and anything involving animals. You can visit her at www.amandarenee.com.
