Coffee, house plants and

I'm amanda

Hi there

Amanda Richardson is a USA Today and Amazon Top 20 bestselling author of emotionally feral love stories. She writes from her office in Yorkshire, surrounded by rain, half-dead houseplants, and the comforting chaos of her husband, two sons, and her dog (and always with some cold coffee on hand, too).

An American transplant who fell in love with fog-drenched mornings and the ruins of haunted castles, Amanda prefers her stories like her weather—dark, moody, and threaded with longing. She believes in antiheroes who would burn the world down for the one they love and writes about heroines who love too recklessly (and always fall for the one man they were never supposed to want.)

When she’s not writing, she’s probably wandering around her 500-year-old house, walking her dog along nearby country lanes, making sourdough bread, tending to her flowers, collecting books with cracked spines, or reading a spicy romance.
