{"title":"Amanda Linsmeier","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmanda Linsmeier has been a book nerd as long as she can remember, and it was that great love of reading—especially R.L. Stine novels and fairytales—that eventually brought her to writing her own stories. In high school, she won the senior class vote for “Most Romantic Girl,” a title she’s still ridiculously pleased with. She feels most joyful when writing, scream-singing her favorite songs, playing in the water, and laughing with her beloved family. She lives in a magical place with a man who smells like maple syrup and woodsmoke, their wonderfully wild children, a dog, and an assortment of half-feral cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmanda Linsmeier’s books are published by Keylight Books, an imprint of Turner Publishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/books-new-releases\"\u003eNew Releases\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/award-winning-books\"\u003eAward-Winning Books\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"a-dance-with-death","title":"A Dance With Death (The Three Bells #1)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cb\u003eHe laces his fingers into my hair and slowly draws me in, his powerful hand gently threaded into the wet strands.
