Amanda Faith

"Let my imagination become your escape."

Award-winning author Amanda Faith may have been raised in Dayton, but her heart and home is in the South. With a lifelong love of teaching and writing, she had plenty of encouragement from teachers and friends along the way. Loving a good puzzle has always been a fascination, and writing gives her the outlet to put all the pieces together.

Being adventurous and always trying new things, it wasn't long before her characters found themselves in unusual situations. She loves to put her characters from two different aspects of life into new situations and to see how they interact, taking them on journeys they would have never normally experienced.

Her current adventure working as a high school Media Specialist (after being a high school and college English professor for 20 years), writing, and doing paranormal investigations. None of this slows her down from having a great time with a plethora of hobbies. Her published credits include short stories, poetry, several journal articles, her doctoral dissertation, and her award-winning book Strength of Spirit. She is a staff writer for The Daily Dragon at Dragon Con. She currently has six degrees, so there is a major passion for learning. Who knows what adventures may be down the road.
