aka Laurel McKee (Amanda Carmack)

Amanda wrote her first romance at the age of sixteen--a vast historical epic starring all her friends as the characters, written secretly during algebra class (and her parents wondered why math was not her strongest subject...)

She's never since used algebra, but her books have been nominated for many awards, including the RITA Award, the Romantic Times BOOKReviews Reviewers' Choice Award, the Booksellers Best, the National Readers Choice Award, and the Holt Medallion.

Fun Weekend Links and Upcoming Book!

Hello everyone! It's been ages since I popped in here, but I have been busy finishing a new Flora Flowerdew mystery, starting a new job (buyer for museum shops!), and getting ready for my last Harlequin Historical release, The Dollar Princess Dilemma. It's a bittersweet moment, but I love this story so much--Gilded Age Newport! Dukes and heiresses! Yachts and beaches and mansions! I hope Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Amanda McCabe (?)

“You will have your duty in the bedchamber. Now, Emily, I warn you it will not be pleasant. It will hurt, and be rather messy. You must lie back and do as your husband tells you, and it will soon be over.”

“Mama!” Emily groaned. “I don‟t really need to know—”

“No, Emily, let me finish. There are ways to make it easier. I used to close my eyes and plan a party.”
― Amanda McCabe, The Shy Duchess

“Maybe it was this place, this strange, ramshackle, warm-hearted place, that had given his wife that air of laughing, welcoming life. Because here she bloomed. With him she had faded and he had faded with her. Yet here she was, his Jane again.
His hope. And he had never, ever wanted to hope again.”
― Amanda McCabe, The Runaway Countess

tags: bloom, fade, hope, laughing, life, love, place, ramshackle, strange, warm-hearted, welcoming

“He laughed and it sounded startled and a bit rusty, as if he didn't do that very often.”
