Amandine Bidgood

Amandine is a Franco-Canadian writer who grew up near Lyon, France and moved to England in her early 20s, eager to experience everything Cool Britannia had to offer—and above all, its music scene. She now lives in the beautifully moody Pacific Northwest of Canada, which inspired the mystical setting of Penumbra in her novel Song for Selene. 

Amandine's stories blend contemporary fiction with speculative and romantic elements and are often steeped in music or the arts. When she is not writing or reading (or reading about writing), Amandine loves listening to bands at local venues big and small, sipping cocktails with friends, or hiking with her husband and their schnauzer Marlowe, named after Raymond Chandler's laconic detective.
