Amanda Sloan is a 30 something gamer, writer, and coffee lover living in the United Kingdom. She began writing essays and fanfic while attending Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada in 2004. Her mum and dad bought her an original NES for her 5th birthday and that was the start of a beautiful relationship with gaming. Currently, Amanda’s favourite games are Skyrim, Elder Scrolls Online, World of Warcraft, and anything Mario (always and forever). She loves writing about games because it lets her do both of the things she loves: gaming and writing... plus the perks of getting to game more in order to have the inspiration to write.
