: About Me

I am Amanda. I have been writing short stories since I was in the 4th grade. I had my first story published in a small magazine when I was 14 years old.
I write mainly about horses with some slight romantic twists thrown in. I live in northeast Arkansas, in the same town I grew up in and now live in the same house I grew up in. I am very happily engaged to a wonderful man and my best friend. We set the date for May 1 2010 and we are so excited. We have lots of pets and share a lot of the same interests. I enjoy writing and plan on writing many more articles on helium :)

When I reflect on this morn the wind is cold and forlorn I know not what time will bring only that it will soon be spring. I may be gone never to see another dawn or here to be for eternity nothing lost nothing gained just a second the moment's gone.
