Hi! I’m Amanda Courtney, lifelong daydreamer and author of What Hurts the Most.
If you’ve read my book, you’ll understand what I mean when I say Cori is me. While her story is completely her own, and there are aspects of my personality that I did not give Cori, I am just as painfully shy and probably more awkward than she is. Plus, I love The Office, tacos, coffee, and the Astros.
Unlike Cori, I am a mom to the most amazing twin boys. They are my toughest challenge, my greatest blessing, and my number one motivator to achieve my dreams.
Besides my novel, I also published two poems in high school along with a small collection of poetry, some of which is featured in What Hurts the Most.
If you happen to see me out in the wild, please come and say hi. I hate small talk but small talk with a reader would absolutely be my new favorite thing.
