Amanda Stone was born and raised in the foothills of eastern Kentucky. She loves being from, and living in, this beautiful state so much that she decided to move to a small town aptly named Lovely.

When Amanda is not writing or reading, she is a mom to two wild little kidlets, a wife to her junior high/high school sweetheart, and keeper of a house full of animals. Technically, it's two dogs and a cat, but if it was up to her husband, those numbers would be dramatically bigger.

A late bloomer, Amanda never discovered her love for reading until late 2008 and couldn’t stop reading anything and everything she could get her hands on after that.
