Welcome to Amanda's home page

Amanda writes full length novels, short stories and poetry.
Her characters are often a little different from the norm, outsiders who sometimes feel at odds with the world. She uses locations from the exotic to the everyday, from colonial Malaysia, to a contemporary town suburb in southern England. Her stories reflect historical and political events through which she weaves a narrative.

She comes from a family of writers. Her grandmother wrote romantic fiction and two of her brothers, Phillip and David Sington are also writers.
