Amanda Fox is a Texas-based writer for funsies with an unrelated full-time job where she plans for, responds to, and helps her campus community recover from disaster situations. This gives her the opportunity to constantly imagine the worst case scenario and come up with creative ways to handle it, so it will likely come as no surprise that she greatly enjoys disaster fiction. Amanda has been writing since she was very young, following in the footsteps of her very talented older brother (Robert E. Harpold), and she has, at a conservative estimate, forty million story ideas rattling around in her brain. Some of Amanda's short stories have been published on Reedsy. She has not yet identified a genre to specialize in. When she is not being a hilariously introverted hermit, Amanda enjoys going on walkies with her ridiculous but adorable dog, reads obsessively, and tries her level best not to combust in the Texas heat.
