Amanda Quick is a pen name for author Jayne Ann Krentz. While Krentz uses a number of names to writer her books, she is known as Amanda Quick when writing historical romantic suspense novels.
Krentz was forced to adopt the multiple pseudonyms out of necessity. She published her early novels under the name Jayne Castle, her birth name, but the contract she signed gave the publishers rights to that name for ten years. When she left the contract, she would be forced to write under a variety of pen names to avoid any trouble with her previous publisher.
