Amanda Fasciano began her infatuation with horror and the paranormal at a young age. Growing up in a haunted house and having a father who was a devout horror fan helped spur her along this path.

​

Often ill as a child, she would write stories to amuse herself. This is how her love of writing was born. Throughout school, she would take whatever Creative Writing courses were offered. To this day she credits Dan Verner, her high school Creative Writing teacher, as her favorite teacher and largest factor in turning her passion for writing into an ambition.

​

Happily married for over twenty years and a mother of two, her husband and family never let her give up on her dreams of writing. In fact, her husband often spurred her on when she was ready to give up.

Living in Southwest Florida, she can often be found in the local convention scene selling her books and hand-made bookmarks (which she call booklaces, necklaces for your books). She can also be found at gaming conventions like Dice Tower, indulging in her love of board and card games.
