Amanda Mariel

Amanda Mariel is a USA Today bestselling author who writes historical romance about women who refuse to behave and the men who are helpless to stop admiring them. She holds master's degrees in Education and Liberal Arts with majors in history and literature — which means she can argue about corset construction and the Napoleonic wars with equal enthusiasm, and frequently does.

When she is not sending fictional people on inadvisable journeys across the English countryside, Amanda can be found being outnumbered by her young adults — who have not yet left home and show no urgency about it — being judged by three cats, and being adored by two Bernese Mountain Dogs named Blaze and Ember who have never once been told they are too large for the furniture and know it.
