Hello! My name is Amanda DeShane. I am a fairly new author, digital artist, cover designer and lover of fantasy stories. There is nothing better than slipping into a book, to experience unlimited adventures within its pages. I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time with my family and friends.
I live happily with my spouse and kids in a small British Columbia town in Canada. I have one teen and two-step children, and a mischievous cat named Thackery Binx. The children and the four-legged kid that meows are all the center of my universe.
I am a fantasy writer, who thrives off world building and intricate stories with vivid imagery and mythology angles. I started out as a children's book author, then decided I wanted to write fantasy novels for a living. Being a creative with no lack of ideas and creative drive, I jumped right in with two feet. My first adult novel, The Prophecy (Asgard Academy), is a fantasy reverse harem novel. It is an intricate web of a story that takes place in both the human realm and Asgard a Norse mythology realm. Aurora, my main character grows up in foster care completely ignorant of the fact that she is not human. Until the day her hands start going off like stun guns at the ready. Readers go on a journey as she discovers her birthright and who she is. Asgard is a world full of witches, warlocks, giants, all sorts of shifters, sirens, demigods and so much more.
My second novel Tidal Vortex (Chronicles of the siren.) Follows the story of seventeen year old Teal who was abandoned as a baby on the Wales seashore then framed at twelve years old for the murder of her adoptive father. After spending years serving time for something she never did, fate tosses her through a tidal vortex and into a world she never dreamed possible.. Zeus in his grief and anger cursed Atlantis and Poseidon over eleven thousand years ago, turning the people into sirens and sinking Atlantis into the sea. Teal seeks out the truth about her past as she navigates the city of Atlantis and a forbidden bond between herself and her guard. Royal sirens are not allowed to have any physical contact with no-royals. One touch is enough to sign their death warrant. War is coming and only Teal the prophesied demi-goddess has the power to save the Atlantean siren people, while raising Atlantis from the hidden depths of the sea. Nimrod, a secret human organization, has been capturing sirens in order to expand their own lifespans. Will Teal find her revenge, and change the corruption that has run rampant in Atlantis for thousands of years? Secrets long buried are rising from the deep.
I love mixing legends and mythology with paranormal twists. Creating worlds that are unique and an adventure that makes you cheer, laugh, cry and rage as the main character fights for what is right or just. I can’t seem to ever just pick one genre when writing so much of my work is written with multiple genres, multiple points of view, and twists. I am currently working hard towards completing my next two novels.
