Introduction: What We're Doing Here, What Inspired It, and Who We Are

 I'm (Amanda) reading a book called The Curiostiies. It's a book of short stories by Maggie StiefVater (one of my favorite authors). Tessa Graton, and Brenna Yovanoff. The stories came from a blog they started together where they wrote and shared short stories. As a way to practice, and improve their craft. And to have fun. I thought this was a really cool idea, so I went to three of my closest writer friends and asked if they were interested in this idea. Luckily, they said yes! So, this is what we're going to do here. Share short stories. Either free form, or we'll all pick the same prompt and write on it, which we think would be really cool to see the way all three of us would write on the same prompt. Honestly, we're not yet totally sure how often we'll post on here, we're just going for it!! That being said, read on for a little introduction and information about each of us. And be sure to come back to this blog to see the stories we share!!

 

Hi, my name is Amanda Leigh!! As I said above, I had this idea because of the book that I'm reading. I thought the concept of having a fiction blog with a couple of writer friends was a really cool idea. Lucky for me, my friends agreed, and here we are, diving right in!! I write multiple genres. I write poetry as well as fiction. As for fiction, I've published Paranormal Romance, Contemporary Romance, Women's Fiction, Dark Paranormal Romance, and Horror. I've also written a Romantic Historical Suspense, and am writing a Fantasy novel. I am definitely a multi genre writer. I do think I love the more fantastical. Things like Paranormal and Fantasy. And also things that are on the darker side. I like to play around and not be boxed in by one genre. I have a cat named Sawyer who is the love of my life. I'm madly in love with a couple of fictional characters (and have crushes on dozens more). I love reading, cooking, art, Psychology, Marvel, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and Elvis. I'm really looking forward to this blog!!

Hello! My name is Rebekah Palmer and I have been practicing the craft of writing since 2012. During 2020, my writing was limited to social media posts and not much extra curricular. When Amanda Leigh messaged me about a blog run by three of us authors, I decided to join in because I need to get back into the habit of what has been my work identity. I am excited to be contributing to this space with two of my writer friends and I hope others find our content intriguing.

I’m a young adult author with a serious chocolate addiction. When I’m not daydreaming, pursuing the aisles at the local book shop or carrying on conversations with fictional characters, you can find me snuggling with my two kitties, daughter and husband.
