DITD is nominated for an Edgar Award
I just…wow.
“Gobsmacked” is too gentle of a word to describe my reaction to this incredible honor. Thank you to MWA and everyone involved in the nomination process. I’m over the moon to be a part of this fantastic group of nominees.
Cover Reveal
Well, it’s official: Amanda has done it again! MURDER IN MINIATURE will be hitting the shelves September 23rd with this gorgeous—and slightly disturbing in the best way possible—cover.

Here’s a teaser:
Maple Bishop has a thriving dollhouse business and a new career as a crime scene consultant for the local sheriff's office. On the surface, she seems to be doing well, but deep down Maple is still reeling from the death of her husband. When the body of an aspiring firefighter–who was close childhood friends with Kenny, the sheriff’s deputy and Maple’s confidante–is discovered in the charred remains of a burned cabin, Maple is called in to help determine whether the fire was an accident or a case of murder by arson.
