Amanda Ross’s favorite thing to do is to create magical worlds that bridge fantasy and reality. She finally put pen to paper as a teen, and from then on, she was hooked on the magic of storytelling in all its forms. She primarily writes urban/contemporary fantasy, dark fantasy, and horror. Each story packs a magical punch and has plenty of campy humor. The first novel in her Witchkind series, To Astera, With Love, published in June 2020. Its sequel, To Ilaris, In Desperation, is set to release in fall 2021. Additionally, she is co-publishing an anthology, Girls of Might and Magic, which will release on 6/22. Amanda currently lives in the Bay Area and enjoys reading and eating donuts by the beach.
