Hi, I’m Amanda Shields! I am a writer and I live in Minneapolis, MN with my husband, two orange cats who think they run the place, and a miniature dachshund who definitely does. When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me crocheting something cozy, working my way through a rotating stack of books, baking up something inspired by The Great British Bake Off, or strolling around the beautiful lakes in the city. I also have a minor obsession with travel planning and can spend hours researching my next adventure—even if I don’t have a ticket (yet).
