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 (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
been accepted at 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.
