My name's Amanda, I love reading and writing. Love music too; I try to intertwine my favorites (Muse, MIA, Blondelle, The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, OneRepublic, Coldplay, Metro Station, The Academy Is..., Cute is What We Aim For, Incubus, and Queens of the Stone Age...the list carries on into oblivion) into my stories. I like every genre, my stories are all different types. I love reading and writing about vampires, witches, and werewolves along with shallow rich perfect--or so you'd think--teenagers and the victorian classics.
My taste is somewhat of a smorgshboard of everything. My favorite authors are: Stephenie Meyer, Melissa De La Cruz, JK Rowling (but who doesn't love her), Libba Bray, Cecily Von Ziegesar, PC/ Kristen Cast, Scott Westerfeld, Anna Godbersen, Sara Dessen, Gena Showalter, Annie Rice, Meg Cabot, Sara Shepard, Kate Brian, Melissa Marr, Richelle Mead, Elizabeth Scott...the list goes on!

NEW PROJECT!!...
One of the Boys: Hailey, always the tomboy, changed only for Ace, her best friend. But he's still sleeping with Leah, the girl he supposedly broke-up with. She can't very well stand around and watch, considering she's head over heels for Ace. What's a girl, or rather a tomboy, to do? Chapter 10 up!
NEW UNTITLED FAERIE STORY: Blairewyn, a gancanagh faerie who now keeps his name shortened to Blaire, after whitnessing the buriel of one girl his addictive nature killed is sickened. He's sure he hasn't caused that much pain in the numerous human pets he's kept and thrown away. Acacia's learned to hate men from her gaurdian and aunt. She's known for her detached nature and stream of one night stands with boys who've wanted more. His search for the friends and family he left ravaged after their loved ones' deaths led him to Acacia. She's know's he's something "other", disappearing from her line of sight between blinks. But all her mind can conjure up it to STAY AWAY. And it's a good thing too.

I've decided to do NaNoWriMo this year (don't hate me if I don't update for the whole month of November!). You can add me here Here's the summary for the story I'm doing on there also I just put up the exerpt and I'll probably change it every few days.
NaNoWriMo story: Suburban Emergency
Ainsley Hunter McDaniels is dissatisfied with her life. Of course she'd never reverse her decision to get back what she sacrificed. With no parents or any other family in the picture she was forced to take custody of her younger brothers after her grandmother's death. Now she should be at Cornell, majoring in Psychology, but instead she's stuck in a small town taking care of a pair of seven year olds and working at the local bookstore. Just across the street is where she met him. The first night she met Logan Connors, she hated him. His could have made Ainsley never give him a second look again if he hadn't started showing everywhere she went.
