Congratulations Amanda. I always enjoy your writing.
Don’t ever stop! Your wordsmithing is superb.
Amanda, this is just the coolest. I knew from the minute I read that hysterical email you wrote years ago about the Highway Patrol who stopped you and probably had to see his therapist after you had dumped on him about your hair disaster and why you were possibly speeding…I knew then that you were destined to appear in print. And obviously, Dallas agrees with me. You go Girl! I am so thrilled for you and this wonderful acknowledgment of your demented humor. Keep those stories a comin’.
Congrats!!!
Way to go Amanda! Very cool!
Love Amanda’s writing. Hope we hear more from her soon.

Love your writing, Amanda.
Hey y’all!!! I’ve been running around all day, and had no idea this was going on! Let me say this, to my family, I love y’all so much…to my friends, thank you so much for encouraging me and inspiring me (and sometimes kicking me in the rear), and to all of you who found me in the pages of D and D Home…I am humbled and honored by your kindness. So many of you have written me in the past year, and we are kindred spirits. I am truly blessed.
It’s proof that all a girl needs is the love of a good man, a fantastic exterminator, and a few undocumented workers to live her dream (maybe a pc, too!).
Love to you all…xo
I’m so glad you are writing the things I’ve been thinking. Thanks for the humor
Great Job, keep up the good work.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! When is your next story coming out?!?! I can’t wait!
Congratulations to my dear friend! Well done, I am so proud of you. “All the world” is a stage, I so look forward to the next writing. Refreshing and colorful. Thanks for keeping it real.
You. Rock.
Great writing with an awesome sense of humor! Congrats on the award.
Amanda - Congratulations on the Katie Award. What does “splendiferous” mean?
Amanda:
Finally you have been recognized for your greatness, creativity and the ability to turn the antics of Trophy and Spawn into hysterical reading. Hopefully, fame will not go to your head and you will remain the same simple, lovable and humble person that you are. You are indeed a bright spot in our day.
Nothing simple about Amanda….
Lovable, yes.
Simple, um…not so much.
congratulations! You have a husband who is proud and obviously loves you very much. Congrats on such an honor as this award.
