Amanda Josephine is an indie author and Licensed Professional Counselor who spends her days helping others and her nights crafting dark, twisty tales. Her debut short story, "Deadly News:", appeared in "Killer Thrillers: The Anthology, Volume 1" : WINNER of the 2025 Anthology of the Year at the Bookstagram Awards. Her second story, "The Devil’s in the Details", was featured in "Vacay & Decay: Vacation Nightmares", a chilling take on a vacation rental gone horribly wrong.

She lives in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia with her supportive husband, teenage son, and their beloved Boxer. When she’s not writing or reading, you can find her exploring new places, soaking up the fall weather, cheering for her favorite hockey team, or...more often than not...buying more books than she has shelf space for.
