Author Bio
'What You See Is What You Get' would be the best way to
describe Amanda. Born in Bexleyheath, England 1971, she is a wife and mother of
seven children ranging in ages from her 21 year old daughter down to a spirited
3 year old son. Life in her house is manic. There is always unpredictablity and
a disaster waiting round the next corner. There is however, plenty of love and
laughter in the home Amanda shares with her wonderful comedic husband Matt and 3
youngest children in Bedfordshire, England. In between school runs, housework
and talking to her two cats, Amanda divides her time between writing, dreaming
and watching her favourite films and television shows. An unashamed addict of
Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons, Gilmore Girls, Anne of Green Gables
and Doris Day musicals, as well as sharing her husband's love of Science Fiction
and superhero films.
Amanda is also passionate about history and her bookshelves are lined with books on the Royal Families of Europe and thick historical tomes. Her love of romance novels began when she was snooping in her grandmother's spare room where she found a Janet Dailey novel, from there her dream of becoming a published author began. Her perfect afternoon would be spent watching a musical, drinking a pot of tea and munching on warm home-made cakes with her family. Wife, mother, dreamer and lover. Jill of all trades, master of none!

The MisAdventures of Pann Haggerty
It's true, picking up a teenagers' underpants for the
umpteenth time can lead to a mid-life crisis. Widow Pann Haggerty, an

is addicted to, she arrives in New York determined to walk barefoot in the park
and eat an English breakfast at Tiffany’s. Disaster awaits for Pann in every
state she visits, but with her on this journey is her knight in shining armor
'average' Joe Harper. Her protector and guide in this new and exciting country.

who is hell bent on taking the States by storm, and perhaps even his
heart!

The Misadventures of Pann Haggerty sounds great fun. I wouldn't mind doing a road trip like that myself x
Your books look great, Manda! I'd be drinking champagne too. :)

Both books sound like they'd be great stories. Pann especially appeals to me because I've got the travel bug.
