Welcome to the Blog
Hi, I’m Amanda! Aspiring author, photographer, and mom of three. This space is where I plan to share the real-life moments that shape the fiction I write, along with the occasional photo I can’t keep to myself.
I’ve always felt most like myself when I’m creating something, whether it’s a photograph, a heartfelt sentence, or a new idea that won’t leave me alone. Storytelling is how I make sense of the world, and writing has become a new way for me to explore it more deeply.
Right now, I’m working on my debut novel, Thirteen Weeks in Digby. It follows Paige, a newly divorced traveling nurse who takes an assignment in a small Midwestern town, hoping for a quiet reset. Instead, she gets tangled up with a grassroots humanitarian group full of lovable misfits, big personalities, and unexpected warmth. She arrives planning to keep her distance, but slowly finds herself drawn into something that feels a lot like belonging.
If you’re into character-driven stories, emotional arcs with a touch of humor, and rooting for misfits who somehow make things work, you’ll fit right in here. Expect writing updates, reflections on the creative process, and glimpses of life behind the scenes as I work toward getting this story out into the world.
Thanks for being here. I’m glad you found your way.
