Amanda Hays Blasko is from Allen, Texas. Yes, she was in the famed marching band, although she could never master the skill of walking and playing at the same time. Although her multitasking skills are probably worse, now, that hasn't stopped her from trying. She's currently at work on a collage-style literary fiction project and a fantasy romance series and is finalizing an experimental short story collection that plays with absurdism and speculative fiction.
