Amanda Ashley is one of those rare birds--a California native. She's lived in Southern California her whole life and loves it (except for the earthquakes). She and her husband share a home with a fluffy Pomeranian named Lady, a curious cat named Trouble (but who only answers to Kitty), and a tortoise who remains nameless. Amanda and her alter ego, Madeline Baker, have written over 90 books and short stories, many of which have appeared on various bestseller lists, including the New York Times Bestseller List, the Waldenbooks Bestseller list, and the USA Today list. Not bad for someone who started writing just for the fun of it. You can visit Amanda's website at www.amandaashley.net or email her at darkwritr@aol.com.
