Amanda Philbeck-Keener was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, but has lived in the South since 1980. Teaching high school English by day, college English by night, and editing for Phaze Publishing didn’t slow her down from recently receiving her doctorate degree. She still finds time to play and have a great time with a plethora of hobbies and loves meeting people and making new friends. She currently lives in Jackson, SC, with her four cats, three dogs, and her husband (none of which is listed in any particular order of importance). Amanda writes and edits under the pen name Amanda Faith. This is her third Dragon*Con and her first year on staff.
