Manda’s life has always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today
she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going
from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two
car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police
woman?
There isn’t enough space to list everything that’s happened to Manda, or what
she’s learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology
degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is
able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting
them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense,
twists and turns and the unexpected.
Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area’s claim to
fame being the Wilkin’s Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of
jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and
reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her
husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and
supporter.
Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns
her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view,
every cloud has a silver lining.
