early life

She was born in July, when the East Texas air was thick enough to choke and the nights pressed close with more than just heat. From her earliest days, she grew beneath the weight of whispers—ghosts glimpsed at the edges of fields, shadows that slipped beyond the reach of lantern light, and warnings that something always lingered just out of sight. In the church pews, she was told that heaven and hell were divided only by a veil—thin, trembling—and she believed it. Perhaps she always will. Those stories took root in her like vines in dark soil, and even now, every tale she tells carries the echo of things that never truly let her go.

education

Determined to explore the worlds of creativity and storytelling, she pursued studies in Digital Arts, Graphics, and Photography/Journalism. There, she sharpened her eye for detail and learned to capture both image and word with precision. Guided by mentors who spoke of light, shadow, and the power of narrative, she honed her craft in ways that would one day shape the vivid, cinematic worlds of her stories.

Early career

After graduation, she turned her creative eye toward photography and freelance writing for two Texas-based magazines. Through her lens and her words, she brought to life the stories of old, forgotten towns—capturing the weathered facades, the echoes of history, and the whispers of things long past. It was in those abandoned streets and shadowed places that her passion for storytelling deepened, planting the seeds that would one day grow into her novels.

rise to acclaim

She began writing in 2017, quietly weaving stories in the shadows and holding them close. For years, those worlds lived only on the page, waiting for their moment. In June of 2025, she finally released them into the world—unveiling tales that had been building in silence, rich with emotion, darkness, and hope. Readers were immediately drawn to the depth of her worlds, the complexity of her characters, and the way her stories lingered long after the last page was turned.

inspirations

Amanda often credits her upbringing and the strange occurrences in her own life as the wellspring of inspiration for her novels. From haunted houses to unexplained phenomena, her experiences lend an authentic edge to her stories. Combined with her love for forgotten towns, ghost tales whispered on Texas porches, and the belief that the veil between heaven and hell is thin, her work carries a chilling realism and a haunting beauty that lingers long after the last page.
