Amanda Jennings made her literary debut with internationally
bestselling Sworn Secret. Her second book, The Judas Scar, was
optioned by a film and television production company shortly after
release. She is fascinated by how people react to trauma and deal
with its long-lasting effects, and also the relationships that
exist within a family unit. She used to work at the BBC but now
writes full-time and looks after her three daughters and menagerie
of animals. She writes a popular blog and is a regular guest on BBC
Berkshire's Book Club. She enjoys running, writing workshops, is a
judge for the Henley Youth Festival creative writing competition,
and is involved with the Womentoring Project, which offers free
mentoring by professional literary women to talented up-and-coming
female writers who might otherwise not have access to such an
opportunity. She is a regular speaker at festivals and book events,
combining her childhood love of the stage with her love of writing.
She likes to be active, preferably beside the sea or at the top of
a snow-covered mountain, and when she isn't writing she can usually
be found walking her dog and enjoying the peace and solitude of the
great outdoors.
