Amanda Johnston wrote 15 novels in 16 months and that's only part of the madness that seems to constantly surround her books, The Anthem Saga. 

Amanda's interest in books began when she was four years old and she discovered ghost stories. From that young age she devoured novels involving "true" or fictional paranormal situations, developing an interest in angels and demonology around the age of twelve. 

At fifteen she wrote a short story that she and a talented friend began turning into a graphic novel called The Impaler, blending Amanda's love of gothic and historical fiction with her love of vampires. The project was short-lived, however, as both parties involved were teenagers with limited resources and attention spans. 

In 2009 Amanda began writing Blackwoods Bend (a traditional horror story) and Mad Red Rose (a traditional vampire love story). Some would say that it is ill-advised to work on two books in two different worlds at once. So of course Amanda began writing Where Angels Sing (the earliest form of Left In The Dark). 

It turns out that three novels at once is too many. 

For years Amanda read books and wrote short stories, finding out just what her voice might be. Finally on June 6th, 2018 she wrote the first half of the first chapter of Left In The Dark and things kicked off from that point on. 

What was only intended to be one short novella became a trilogy. That trilogy then became a six book series. Then, to Amanda's surprise, the six book series became a nine book saga, with a tenth book in the works, and the groundwork for a YA series. 

See? Madness. 

Keep your hearts and minds and eyes open, because Amanda Johnston and The Anthem Saga will sweep you away to Anthem City, and a world of adventure, love, danger, and hope!
