| Introduction | Amanda Burford is a writer, currently working on her first Young Adult urban fantasy novel. Although she would love to write all day and into the wee hours of the morning, she must pay bills. Therefore, Amanda also moonlights as a high school English and creative writing teacher. The Newbie Novelist is her first foray into the blogging world. She is very excited she figured out how to attach flashy widgets to her blog. |
