Amanda Flower

Amanda Flower, an Agatha-nominated mystery author, started her writing career in elementary school when she read a story she wrote to her sixth grade class and had the class in stitches with her description of being stuck on the top of a Ferris wheel. She knew at that moment she'd found her calling of making people laugh with her words. Her debut mystery, Maid of Murder, was an Agatha Award Nominee for Best First Novel and her children's mystery, Andi Unexpected, was an Agatha Award Nominee for Best Children's/YA Novel. Amanda is an academic librarian for a small college near Cleveland. She also writes mysteries as Isabella Alan. Visit her at www.amandaflower.com

Here are the fantastic books she writes as Amanda:

A Plain Death (An Appleseed Creek Mystery Book 1) A Plain Disappearance (An Appleseed Creek Mystery Book 3) A Plain Scandal (An Appleseed Creek Mystery Book 2) A Plain Malice: An Appleseed Creek Mystery

All of which can be bought using this link:

    I've never read any of her books, but I would like to. I read the descriptions on goodreads and they look great! Now if I were to win I would like Maid For Murder, since it is the first in the series. Thanks for the giveaway!
