Amanda McCabe

Amanda McCabe is a well-established author who has made a name for herself in the world of mystery and romance writing. She writes under several pseudonyms, including Laurel McKee and Amanda Carmack. McCabe's passion for writing began at a young age when she wrote her first romance novel at the age of sixteen, during her algebra class. Although she never put her algebra skills to use later in life, her books have been recognized with numerous award nominations, including the RITA Award, Booksellers Best, and the Romantic Times BOOKReviews Reviewers' Choice Award.

McCabe's books are set in a variety of time periods, including Regency, Victorian, Tudor, Renaissance, and 1920s. Her writing has been well-received by readers and critics alike, earning her a reputation as a respected author in the romance writers' community. She is known for her captivating storytelling and richly detailed settings, which transport readers to different eras and places.

Currently, McCabe resides in Oklahoma with her pets, which include two cats, a Pug, and a bossy miniature Poodle. Her home is filled with an impressive collection of books, which is not surprising given her love for reading and writing. When she's not writing or reading, McCabe enjoys taking dance classes, watching the Food Network, and collecting cheesy travel souvenirs. She has a playful personality and a zest for life, which is reflected in her writing and her interactions with her readers.
