Born in British Columbia, Canada in 1979, raised in Manitoba, Amanda Mary-Margaret Holt is the oldest of four children. She began writing at an early age, stories that always seemed to be of one paranormal genre or another. Sometimes these stories thrilled her teachers and parents...other times, they served only to horrify.
With no formal post-secondary training in English or literature studies, Amanda credits various teachers (Mr. Elliott and Mr. Ortwein, for example), her family, and her dear friend Ms. T with fostering her growth and development as an author.
Amanda worked a variety of jobs as a younger adult: she was a graphic artist, a bartender, an electrician's apprentice, a security guard, a graphic artist, a waitress, an adult novelty clerk, and at one point, even an Electrolux sales person. She recieved her Computer Programmer/Analyst diploma in 2003 and is now pursuing Bachelor of Nursing studies at the fourth-year level.
While dark fantasy is her favourite genre to write in, she has tried her hand at both mainstream erotica and contemporary romance and enjoyed those as well. So long as her heroine is a woman who is brave enough to face her darkest fears and bold enough to realize her innermost fantasies, therein lies a tale that Miss Holt aspires to tell.
