By day she works as an administrator for a non-profit; by night, she dances, sings, reads and writes.

Amanda loves just about all things romance. She started out reading historicals and then branched into just about everything else, except Amish romance (which is ironic, since she lives in Amish Country). She has a particular fondness for fantasy and/or gothic fiction.

The Music of Keeper

A soundtrack to a book? Hell yes.

I’m one of those writers who has to have some sort of soundtrack playing in the background when I write. My husband thinks I’m nuts. I think it’s just the dancer in me. Music gives me ALL THE FEELS. When I need to write a scene and am struggling, I’ll pull out a certain tone of song that will help me “get to that place.”

I pulled together some of the music of Keeper
