Amanda Dubin is author, who currently lives in Alexandria, Virginia. She attended film school at Boston University, won a grant for a short film from Miami Light Project, available for viewing on YouTube. Amanda has worked on many blockbuster films. Assassins Wall was based on her original screenplay. Last Stop, Earth, is her first children's science fiction novella, and Universe Olympics: Heat 1 is a YA action adventure book.

Second stop, even though you didn't ask, at a close number two:

Middle Earth

And I'd go talk to Gandalf and chill with Bilbo in Bag-End. (less)
Amanda Dubin This sounds crazy but Vacuum or taking a shower, anything that is a rote activity that lets me mind wander.

“The most amazing mechanism in the known universe is the human brain; it takes in information all the time then uses it, all of which is happening, of course, without human knowledge. Typical…”
Amanda Dubin, Assassins Wall

“Timmy has no intention of going on the trip. He has never been on a sightseeing tour before and according to him, he is never going on one, end of discussion. Who wants to see a stupid planet called Earth, anyway?”
Amanda Dubin, Last Stop, Earth

“The human brain has a natural ability, inherent in its mechanism, to work on many levels, in a process of constant promptings, in a type of self-preservation.

If only humans understood...

Most ignore it.”
Amanda Dubin, Assassins Wall

“What if winning the gold medal at the Olympics wasn't the end?
What if... it was only the beginning?”
