About the Author
Growing up a word-devourer and avid fairy tale lover, it was only natural that Amanda Lovelace began writing books of her own, and so she did. When she isn’t reading or writing, she can be found waiting for pumpkin spice coffee to come back into season and binge-watching Gilmore Girls (before you ask: Team Jess all the way). The lifelong poetess and storyteller currently lives in New Jersey with her fiancé, their two moody cats, and a combined book collection so large it will soon need its own home. As of 2016, she is working towards her B.A. in English literature with a minor in sociology. the princess saves herself in this one, originally published in 2016, is her debut poetry collection. Her official website is amandalovelace.com. You can also find her as @ladybookmad on Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr.
