Amanda Carlson

Amanda Carlson is an American author of urban fantasy, born in Minnesota. Her Jessica McClain series, beginning with Full Blooded, follows the first female werewolf born into a supernatural world otherwise governed by male alphas, continuing through Cold Blooded, Hot Blooded, Red Blooded, and Pure Blooded. Carlson's Holly Danger series shifts into science-fiction-inflected urban fantasy with a private-investigator protagonist, spanning titles such as Danger's Halo, Danger's Race, and Danger's Fate, while her Phoebe Meadows and Sin City Collectors books extend her range into further paranormal territory. Across four linked series, her work is distinguished by color- and danger-themed titling conventions and a recurring interest in female protagonists claiming unconventional power within established supernatural hierarchies.
