Amanda Kai's background in the performing arts drives her creative spirit.

Her love of storytelling, nurtured by a fondness for period dramas and classic literature, led her to begin writing Jane Austen variations and other historical and contemporary romances. When she's not diving into the realm of her imagination, Amanda lives out her own happily ever after in Leander, Texas, with her husband and three children.
