Amanda McCabe wrote her first romance novel at the age of sixteen—a vast epic starring her friends as the characters, written secretly during algebra class.

 

She’s never since used algebra, but her books have been nominated for many awards, including the RITA Award, the Romantic Times BookReviews Reviewer’s Choice Award, the Booksellers Best, the National Readers Choice Award, and the Holt Medallion. 

 

She lives in Oklahoma with a menagerie of two cats, a Pug, and a bossy miniature poodle, and loves dance classes, collecting cheesy travel souvenirs, and watching the Food Network—even though she doesn’t cook.
