Amanda has always been a self-proclaimed nerd. It only seemed a natural progression for her to become so deeply entrenched in the vast world of Middle-earth. She quickly found herself being swept away by the intense battles, deep moral messages, and the handsome dwarf, Kili. In addition to staying on top of all the latest Middle-earth news and events, Amanda is a full-time university student. She is also a passionate animal-lover with pets such as a giant black cat named Ozzy and a guinea pig named Gimli. The rest of her free time is spent traveling, writing, watching TV and movies, and attending nerdy conventions.
