Welcome to Amanda's home page. Amanda writes full length novels, short stories and poetry. Her characters are often a little different from the norm, outsiders who sometimes feel at odds with the world. She uses locations from the exotic to the everyday, from colonial Malaysia, to a contemporary town suburb in southern England. Her stories reflect historical and political events through which she weaves a narrative.

It's been a long time
Well, it's months since I've updated my blog. And for no reason, other than I forgot. That's no good especially when so much has happend with my new novel, The Eloquence of Desire.' I'm told it's in the printers, get my freebies soon and there's to be a book launch in Brighton on 17th June.
Oh yes, I'm doing readings from the novel during the May Festival. All's looking good. More later...
