Amanda Renee is an American romance novelist.[1][2]
Background
She was raised in Ridgewood, New Jersey[1] United States and now lives in coastal South Carolina.[2][3] She began writing at nine-years-old, but didn't pursue it seriously until she garnered praise for a school essay against music censorship.[1] After she was discovered through Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write contest, she began writing for their American Romance line.[3][4]
Career
Amanda received "the call" from Harlequin on March 13, 2012[5] after she had submitted her manuscript to them through their So You Think You Can Write[6] competition. Many of her books center around hippotherapy,[7] a form of physical and occupational therapy that utilize the horse's movements to treat numerous conditions.
Each of Renee's books have charted in the Nielsen Bookscan[8] Top 100 Adult Fiction Overall Fiction lists.
