About Me

My name is Amanda, and I am an author. I have spent the majority of my life trying to validate that sentence, now it is here and I have my window of opportunity to accomplish my life's dream. Thank you all for being a part of it.
If you would like to keep track of what's going on with my first publishing endeavor, I've been keeping a blog at http://www.lockergnome.com/nexus/amandalcrandall

My Interests

Writing, gaming, Opticianry (my other profession). I enjoy camping and traveling, two things I don't get to do as often as I would like. Mostly though, I'm a bit of a recluse, and spend most of my time at home enjoying my music and partaking in whatever festivities my computer is providing. I play World of Warcraft, on a pvp server.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet someone who has read my book, not knowing me from Adam. Thats still probably about a year away, since the book hasn't hit shelves yet (e shelves, I should say).

Music:

I enjoy a very wide range of genres. My mother loved music and my family is littered with musicians. I used to play French Horn and Trumpet. I listen to VNV nation, Counting Crows, OK go, Reel Big Fish, Voltaire, Linkin Park and a whole slew of others.

Movies:

I watch a movie, spend the next half hour cutting it up in my head, and then a week later I discovered I enjoy it. Signs, Sixth Sense, Seven, and What Dreams May Come, and Rat Race rank up there in my favorites.

Television:

I don't watch a lot of television. Family Guy is a cartoon of Legend, however.

Books:

Terry Pratchett, Stephen King, Roald Dahl (not just for children, ladies and gentleman) Maya Angelou, and Igor introduced me to David Gremell (sp). I just finished reading the Fountainhead. Amoungst the classice Phantom of the Opera has my favorite kissing scene, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, and Edgar Allen Poe.

Heroes:

My mother. Stephen King and M Night Shamaylahahaynanamanaa. The latter two I would love to meet before they or I die.
