#WOTR26 Author Interviews<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Amanda Zook. I grew up in Hershey, Pennsylvania and started reading romance books in middle school. I cut my teeth on the old historical romance books otherwise known as the bodice rippers and eventually transitioned into romantic suspense, which is what I currently write. I’m closing in on the end of my Nighthawks Search and Rescue series and will be sad to say goodbye to them. This year, I started a new series in Susan Stoker’s Operation Alpha world called Condor’s Overwatch and I hope you’ll give the new team a try.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did you hear about this event?\u00a0 How many years have you attended?<\/strong><\/p>\n

2026 will be my 3rd year attending and I can’t wait to see familiar faces and hope to meet a whole gaggle of new ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What genres do you write?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Romantic suspense, contemporary romance<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jolene’s Justice. It deals with an issue that is not talked about enough in our society.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is one fun fact about you?\u00a0 It can be anything like food allergy, fear of something, weird way you broke a bone…….<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In kindergarten, I had to get nine stitches under my eye because I tried to take my cat down a flight of stairs in a baby carriage (think the old British pram style). I made it one step before tumbling down the rest. The cat never let me carry him around steps again.<\/span><\/p>\n
