Amanda Scott, USA Today Bestselling Author and winner of Romance Writers of America’s RITA/Golden Medallion (LORD ABBERLEY’S NEMESIS) and Romantic Times’ Awards for Best Regency Author and Best Sensual Regency (RAVENWOOD’S LADY), Lifetime Achievement (2007) and Best Scottish Historical (BORDER MOONLIGHT, 2008), began writing on a dare from her husband. She has sold every manuscript she has written.

Amanda is a fourth-generation Californian, who was born and raised in Salinas and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in history from Mills College in Oakland. She did graduate work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, specializing in British History, before obtaining her Master’s in History from California State University at San Jose. She now lives with her husband and son in northern California.

As a child, Amanda Scott was a model for O’Connor Moffatt in San Francisco (now Macy’s). She was also a Sputnik child, one of those selected after the satellite went up for one of California’s first programs for gifted children. She remained in that program through high school. After graduate school, she taught for the Salinas City School District for three years before marrying her husband, who was then a captain in the Air Force. They lived in Honolulu for a year, then in Papillion, Nebraska, for seven. Their son was born in Nebraska. They have lived in northern California since 1980.

Scott grew up in a family of lawyers, and is descended from a long line of them. Her father was a three-term District Attorney of Monterey County before his death in 1955 at age 36. Her grandfather was City Attorney of Salinas for 36 years after serving two terms as District Attorney, and two of her ancestors were State Supreme Court Justices (one in Missouri, the other the first Supreme Court Justice for the State of Arkansas). One brother, having carried on the Scott tradition in the Monterey County DA’s office, is now a judge. The other is an electrician in Knoxville, TN, and her sister is a teacher in the Sacramento area.

The women of Amanda Scott’s family have been no less successful than the men. Her mother was a child actress known as Baby Lowell, who performed all over the west coast and in Hollywood movies, and then was a dancer with the San Francisco Opera Ballet until her marriage. Her mother’s sister, Loretta Lowell, was also a child actress. She performed in the Our Gang comedies and in several Loretta Young movies before becoming one of the first women in the US Air Force. Scott’s paternal grandmother was active in local and State politics and served as president of the California State PTA, and her maternal grandmother was a teacher (and stage mother) before working for Monterey County. The place of women in Scott’s family has always been a strong one. Though they married strong men, the women have, for generations, been well educated and encouraged to succeed at whatever they chose to do.

Amanda Scott’s first book was OMAHA CITY ARCHITECTURE, a coffee-table photo essay on the historical architecture of Omaha, written for Landmarks, Inc. under her married name as a Junior League project. Others took the photos; she did the research and wrote the text on an old Smith-Corona portable electric. She sold her first novel, THE FUGITIVE HEIRESS – likewise written on the battered Smith-Corona in 1980. Since then, she has sold many more books, but since the second one she has used a word processor and computer. Twenty-five of her novels are set in the English Regency period (1810-1820). Others are set in 15th-century England and 14th- through 18th-century Scotland, and three are contemporary romances. Many of her titles are currently available at bookstores and online.

  • My second choice for the January Romancestagram Challenge for FRIENDS is....The Chieftain by Margaret Mallory. This series brings together four men who are very good friends and to bring back justice and peace to their clans. One of the best highlander series I have ever read!! #romance #books #reading #readingromance #bookaddict #bookstagram #romancestagram #margaretmallory #highlanderromance #booklove
  • This is my feature for the Romancestagram Week 2: FRIENDS. Now these four women are one of my favorite friendships I have ever seen. And not just in just female friendships, but also the friendships that we see among the heroes too, so fun. Devil in Winter is one of my all time favorite books, there is something so vibrant about Sebastian and Evie's book and I adored seeing the transformation in these characters.

  • One Night With The Prince by Sabrina Jeffries. A fun trilogy about three brothers whose father is the prince of England....also known as Prinny and they all hate their birth father for various reasons. This book is my favorite of the trilogy although I love them all. These brothers have such a great bond...but also One Night With A Prince is a story about revenge, passion and the heroine even shoots at the hero so she has balls of steel and handles this rogue in such delicious ways. One of my all time favorites and a must be a keeper for your romance shelf.

  • This is my contribution to the Romancestagram January Challenge and for week one the focus is "Families". So my feature is Texas Destiny which is a trilogy around one of my favorite families...the Leigh family. I love these three brothers and the women that capture their hearts. Its a heartwarming trilogy that gives you all the feels and one of the best westerns written and one of the best books by Lorraine Heath.

  • I am planning on participating in the Romance-Opoly Reading Challenge for year 2019!!! I am definitely stoked for this challenge, I have a feeling that its going to e a blast. And plus you can never go wrong with mixing up romance novels and monopoly and these two sites have worked so hard to having this put together and Ican't wait. So I already printed out the board, and am tracking my progress through the Air Table Worksheet (all with all my other blogging and reading needs) I do want to thank UTC for introducing me to Air Table, I have struggled with Google Sheets and Excel for YEARS but Air Table is so user friendly. This challenge I am going to read a book in every single stop. I even have multiple books which if you know how much I read is easy. So today I landed on Library, which is a "free choice" and so I looked on my spreadsheet, and so BANG " I am going to finally get up the nerve to read "The Deep End" by Kristen Ashley. This is going to be an adventure but I can't wait for it!!! What about you all? Are you participating in this lovely challenge?What are your goals? Are you excited for some fun in this challenge??? #eroticromance #romanceopoly #romanceopolyboard #readingchallenge #2019reads #books #reading #kristenashley

  • "I love you Anya...You are my soul" 
My pick for the week for the Romanstagram challenge "Rebellious Heroines Week 1 #romancestagram

For six years Anya Korbin worked with Del Rey Delgato the genteically altered rebel known as the Coyote Ghost--to free a group of coyote women kept in her father's lab. As Anya matured into a woman, she and Del Rey grew close, but then he broke his promise and killed her father. Now she must deal with her animalistic desire for the one who betrayed her.
