Amanda Marie was born in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Like any other female growing up in the 90's she was a fan of artists like Backstreet Boys, Five, and Aaron Carter. She started writing when she was in junior high and from there went to write many "Fan Fictions" and some of her own original stories. Amanda has a degree in business management and just received her Master's degree in Creative Writing at Full Sail University. She hopes to use what she's learned to teach at a college or high school level and also to bring her books to life on the big screen. She had the opportunity to be an extra in the film Redwood Highway starring Shirley Knight, Tom Skerritt, and James LaGros. Redwood Highway is due out in the spring of 2014 and is currently making its round in different film festivals throughout Oregon and the rest of the US.
