Amanda Brandon lives with her husband and two children in Essex. She was born and educated in the county and spent 13 years as a newspaper journalist before turning to writing for children. She enjoys reading, writing and dancing (although has yet to try all three at the same time!)
Amanda also admits to owning too many scarves and is teased for wearing one until the first signs of summer.
