Amanda Ryan is a smut-loving, musical-theatre-singing, guinea-pig-herding writer who’s had stories stuck in her head since she was a little kid. Her head is often in the clouds, whether fantasizing about her next crazy story or belting out showtunes while in her tiny red Fiat.

She launched The Raunch Dilettante in 2010 as a place to record her thoughts on the insane amount of smut she consumed. Now, TRD serves as her home base for all her past book reviews, and all information on her current and upcoming publications.

Amanda lives in Pennsylvania with her hubs, a cat, and a horde of guinea pigs. When she’s not writing, she’s working at her internet marketing job, teaching Zumba, or singing at a community theater.
