 "In this heartwarming compilation, three talented authors bring us the perfect blend of small-town nostalgia and holiday warmth . . . [as] timeless as the notes of a favorite carol and as softly luminous as lights twinkling on an evergreen tree."

She also placed first in multiple contests, including the 2017 Indiana Golden Opportunity Contest, the 2017 Phoenix Rattler Contest, and the 2016 ACFW First Impressions Contest, among others. In addition to her writing, Amanda is an accomplished professional cellist and pianist who frequently performs with orchestras, chamber groups, and her church’s worship team, as well as serving as a choral accompanist. A lifelong denizen of the flatlands, Amanda currently lives in Kansas with her patient, loving, and hilarious husband, their three adorable Wenlets, and a snuggly Siamese cat.

In case you get to meet Janyre Tromp some day, you pronounce that first name Jan-air. Kind of like the stove. She's a developmental book editor by day and a writer at night.

And that all happens from her kitchen table when she's not hanging out with her husband, two kids, and slightly eccentric Shetland Sheepdog. Unfortunately, she spilled coffee on her super cape and then the dryer ate it. So you'll just have to imagine she can do it all!

Janyre has four traditionally published books—a WWII era novel, Shadows in the Mind's Eye; a juvenile fiction, That Sinking Feeling; and two board books in the All About God's Animals series—and 2 indie books—Wide Open, a historical novella and It's a Wonderful Christmas, a Christmas novella collection, and O Little Town. 

Her passion is writing about the beauty of the world—past and present—even when it isn't pretty.

After all, isn't it the beauty in the world that gets us through the day?

Hopefully after you hang out with Janyre for a bit, you'll both be able to see things a little more clearly, find a little bit of meaning, and make a bigger impact.

With her what you see is what you get...all the Beautiful, all the Ugly, all the Janyre.
