Amanda DeWees received her PhD in English from the University of Georgia and wrote her dissertation on 19th-century vampire literature—the perfect training, although she didn’t know it at the time, for writing Victorian gothic romance novels. Her books include With This Curse, winner of the 2015 Daphne du Maurier Award in historical mystery/suspense, and the Sybil Ingram Victorian Mysteries series.

Quotes by Amanda DeWees  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The ability to lie persuasively is one of the greatest gifts a woman can possess in this life. Some critics, principally men, will argue that deception in women is inherently evil; but having spent the last fifteen years of my life in the theater, I can attest that lying not only is sometimes expedient but can save one's career.”
Amanda DeWees, Nocturne for a Widow

“He stood at the foot of the grave, gloved hands clasped behind him, his dark clothes and hair blending into one black silhouette, as if he were not a presence but an absence, a hole cut out of the landscape.”
Amanda DeWees, Sea of Secrets

“The wavelets flung themselves up as if trying to pat my feet and I darted back, laughing, and picked up my skirts to chase them back as they receded, in a game of tag more ancient than I then knew.”
Amanda DeWees, Sea of Secrets

Topics Mentioning This Author

“If you tell someone you're divorced they don't even blink, but tell them you've never been married and they wonder what's wrong with you.”
