A brief history

Amanda graduated from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville with a BA in English with an emphasis on creative writing. She spent a decade on staff with Entrepreneur Magazine and now freelances as a writer for a wide selection of physical and online publications and private clients. Stormtroopers like her and she holds the honorary rank of Captain in Starfleet.
As a freelancer, Amanda covers topics including gadgets, space, consumer electronics, Route 66 travel, small business profiles, New Mexico adventures, green business, Americana music, small business tech and transatlantic journeys the old-fashioned way--by train and ship.
In addition to her extensive journalism experience, Amanda is also a guitar player and songwriter, currently playing with Americana bands The Dawn Hotel and So Dark a Train. She is writing a series of mystery novels and is a creative writing MFA student at UNM. When not glued to a keyboard, she can be found training and teaching Aikido at Albuquerque Aikikai, hiking around New Mexico or cruising Route 66 in her pink-and-lavender 1956 DeSoto Fireflite.
