About
Hello! I’m Amanda, writer, editor, I <3 New York true believer, and #HomeMagazine enthusiast who can’t get enough of everything local! I have always been captivated by the written word, and writing has been a passion of mine for over 20 years. Now, I get to share the incredible stories of Western New York people and places with you, our readers! When I’m not writing, I am spending time with my two boys, two cats, and the latest edition to our family: a border collie puppy named Daisy. Give us a call. We’d love to hear from you!
