My Stories

I write adventures for those in search of a good story. My novels fall in the Fantasy genre, but many people consider them Sci-fi too. Each story is written with what I look for when I read a book: action, adventure, twists and turns, love, heroes, vicious enemies, fighting (weapons and hand to hand combat). I write because I want to share the stories that are inside of me. I hope you enjoy the adventures as much as I love writing them!

A post on "What, Why, How"

I wrote a post for Linda K Sienkiewicz - Author of multi-award-winning novel In the Context of Love - on “what, why, how”. If your interested here’s the link: http://lindaksienkiewicz.com/what-why-how-amanda-schmidt/

Also, I am still working on Story 20 in my free time.  It's at 166,000 words, I am no longer sure how close to done it is, because as usual, more things have presented themselves and there's a few things I have to go back and clarify.  And of course there are other voices in my head getting louder: Story 15, Story 18, and story 25.  I want to get back to Story 17, Story 10, and Rise of Ansea Book 2 so I can officially begin the process to publishing them.  A busy real world life and a demand in my writer's world seems to be an ongoing and vicious cycle, which I am navigating the best I can.   If only there were more hours in the day, or I could function on less hours of sleep.
