Amanda Noll
Amanda Noll is the author of I Need My Monster, illustrated by Howard
McWilliam.
Born and raised in Canberra, Australia, Amanda moved to the United States
as a teen. After marrying her college sweetheart, she began working in the
purchasing division of a private university (which was ironic, since she
despises shopping). After a while, Amanda left the business world to attend
to the business of raising children, and to concentrate on her writing. Her
work has appeared in Hopscotch and Family Fun magazines. She blames
her fundamentally twisted sense of humor on either genetics or being raised
on a steady stream of Australian humor and science fiction.. I Need My
Monster is her first picture book.
Amanda lives in Spanaway, Washington with her husband and children. The
monster under her bed is named Gertie.
