Dagens Nyheter
Amanda says: "My goal is to write with an open heart, to explore love and beauty as well as life's inevitable darkness. I want my novels to feel like friends to the reader; like someone you can't wait to spend time with, like an adventure and a real treat. I strive for my stories to have a sense of truth about them despite being fictional. The dramatic elements of romantic and gothic narratives fascinate me and I adore passionate, historic and suspenseful stories full of gorgeous details and powerful emotions. That's what I hope to achieve in my books."
