Amanda Heger

Amanda Heger writes romantic comedy with playful premises, capable women, and relationships shaped by public performance. Crazy Cupid Love, published by Sourcebooks Casablanca in 2019, opens the Let’s Get Mythical series with Eliza Herman, a descendant of Cupid whose matchmaking magic has become unreliable. The California setting lets Heger place Greek mythology beside family expectations, friendship, and the practical trouble caused by supernatural attraction. Semi-Scripted, issued by Diversion Books in 2016, follows soap actor Marisol Gutierrez after a dating expert recruits her for a televised game show. Her growing connection with producer Evan Abramson complicates a career already built around scripted emotion. Heger gives each book a different comic engine: uncontrolled magic drives the first, while cameras and manufactured romance drive the second. Together, Crazy Cupid Love and Semi-Scripted show her interest in people learning to separate genuine affection from roles imposed by relatives, entertainment culture, or their own carefully managed plans.
