Amanda Allen is the pseudonym for an award-winning, multi-published author. A history junkie since she first read Jane Eyre at age 10, she loves spending her days lost in other time periods. When not reading or writing, she loves yoga, dance classes, watching too much HGTV, and online shoe shopping. She is a member of Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime, and she lives in Santa Fe, NM with her lovely husband, a spoiled dog, and bossy cat.
