About this item

A wonderful chance to see your name in a novel by bestselling author Amanda Jennings - either a treat to yourself or the perfect surprise gift! 

About the author:

So what do I write? Well, I love anything with a dark vein and secrets which affect families, and my books tend to fall into the psychological suspense category. The Storm is out in July and, like my last two books - In Her Wake and The Cliff House - it is set in Cornwall where my heart truly lies! My mother's side of the family is from Penzance and I have many blissful memories of long summers spent here. I am never happier than when I'm beside the sea. I'm also fond of a mountain, especially when it's got snow on it. When I'm not beside the sea or up a mountain or sitting at my desk, you can usually find me chatting on the radio as a regular guest on BBC Berkshire's weekly Book Club, or loitering on Twitter (@mandajjennings), Facebook and Instagram (@amandajennings1). I love meeting and engaging with readers, whether that's on social media, or at libraries, book clubs and literary festivals. If you see me out and about at an event do say hello! What am I doing now? Well, I live just outside Henley-on-Thames with my husband, three daughters and an unruly menagerie of pets, and am currently writing my fifth book which will be published in 2020.
