Amanda Bonilla is the author of the Shaede Assassin urban fantasy romance series. She also writes steamy dark vampire novels under the name Kate Baxter, and fun, sexy contemporary romantic suspense under the name Mandy Baxter. Amanda lives in rural Idaho with her family. She's a part-time pet wrangler, a full-time sun worshipper, and only goes out into the cold when coerced. She loves the outdoors, black clothes, pink appliances, and thinks junk food should be a recognized food group. Amanda first fell in love with urban fantasy and paranormal romance when she read MOON CALLED and hasn't once looked back. She's an avid reader and firmly believes that nothing is better than new book smell!
