When she's not writing fantasy, Amanda Borenstadt is reading, homeschooling her little twin daughters, romping around in nature with them, or cleaning up after their cats and birds (silly pet combo, I know). She also enjoys riding on the back of her husband's motorcycle, visiting with their three adult daughters, and writing in her two blogs: "A Fortnight of Mustard" and "Catholic Once Again." (Links to those can be found in the links section.)
