Amanda DeWees

Atlanta author Amanda DeWees wrote her doctoral dissertation on 19th-century vampire literature, the perfect training (although she didn’t realize it at the time) for writing Victorian mysteries and gothic romance novels. These include With This Curse, which won the 2015 Daphne du Maurier Award for historical mystery/suspense, and Sea of Secrets, a reimagining of Shakespeare’s Hamlet that won the 2012 RONE award. Her other works include the Sybil Ingram Victorian Mysteries, traditional/cozy mysteries with a touch of the paranormal, and the Ash Grove Chronicles, a young adult paranormal romance series.
