I’m Amanda Leigh. I’m the multi-genre author of 13+ books, as well as several anthologies, best known for my PNR series, the Beauty of the Dark series. Amongst other things, I’m a self-proclaimed “story nerd”. I love all things stories. On this podcast, I’ll do solo episodes as well as interviews with authors, storytellers, and other creatives. We’ll talk writing, publishing, and of course, anything and everything stories.
