Amanda Hughes

All my life I have been a Walter Mitty, spending more time in heroic daydreams than the real world. At last I found an outlet writing adventures about audacious women in the 18th Century.
My debut novel Beyond the Cliffs of Kerry was published in 2002, and my latest historical adventure The Pride of the King released in 2011. I am a graduate of the University of Minnesota, and when I am not off tilting windmills, I live and write in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Nice to meet a fellow writer and one who shares the same love of the classics. There is something so seductive about Wuthering Heights. Thanks for the friendship.

Thanks Diane, nice to know that I am not alone loving the classics. I originally entitled the blog, Lonely Cause I Love the Classics but that sounded so pathetic! I am headed over to your blog now. Thanks for commenting.

I am just starting A Passage to India and I am having a hard time picking it up again. It seems dry and I liked A Room with a View. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
