Bonus Episode: Author Amanda Auler

Hello fellow nerds! This week's bonus episode is with author Amanda Auler, who was so fun to talk to! Hilarious and sweet, and she roasts her own coffee! Background on Amanda: A mother by day and writer by spare moment, Amanda Auler is getting used to calling herself a Young Adult fantasy fiction author. At twenty-one she made a goal to be published by thirty and her debut novel, Daughter of the Sun, will launch precisely one year and two weeks before her thirtieth birthday. Inspired by Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson and Juliet Marillier (to name a few), Amanda writes stories that explore emotional growth and personal resilience. When she’s not at her laptop, Amanda can be found roasting coffee in her garage (usually with a book in hand), improving her ASL fluency and trying to keep up with her three growing boys. She and her husband live in central North Carolina where they stay up too late watching Top Chef and eating fancy ramen. Listen in as we find out more about Amanda, her book "Daughter of the Sun", what she's currently reading, and her fave fandoms.
