Stine novels and fairytales--that eventually brought her to writing her own stories. In high school, she won the class vote for \"Most Romantic Girl\", a title she's ridiculously pleased with. Amanda is the author of \u003ci\u003eSix of Sorrow\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStarlings\u003c\/i\u003e. She feels most joyful when writing, scream-singing her favorite songs, playing in the water, and laughing with her beloved family. She lives in a small house surrounded by trees and cornfields, with a man who smells like maple syrup and woodsmoke. Together they have three wonderfully wild children, a dog, and an assortment of half-feral cats.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Amanda Linsmeier \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":47629422297245,"sku":"9798887980904","price":53.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_166e02ee-b284-4dcf-ab31-343a59e1bd8e.jpg?v=1770188823","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/a-dance-with-death-9798887980904","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
