About Amanda

Amanda Traylor writes gripping mysteries and deliciously twisted domestic thrillers with complex, female leads, designed to keep you up all night.

A Northern California native, she had a fantastic time studying English and Journalism in the foothills of the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains and then a very serious time slaving away for a Master’s degree in media research in sunny Los Angeles.

When she’s not staring at a computer screen, she is part of the fabulous team that puts on the San Francisco Writers Conference. She also spends an inappropriate amount of time dreaming of world travels.

She currently lives in Colorado with her dashing, real-life hero of a husband, who inspires her villains and heroes alike, and their hellion of a toddler daughter.

She is represented by Laurie McLean at Fuse Literary.
