Amanda Fleet
Amanda Fleet is a physiologist by training and a writer at heart. She spent 18 years teaching science and medicine undergraduates at St Andrews University, but now uses her knowledge to work out how to kill people (in her books!). She completed her first degree at St Andrews University and her doctorate at University College, London.

She has been an inveterate stationery addict since a child, amassing a considerable stash of fountain pens, ink and notebooks during her lifetime. These have thankfully come in useful, as she tends to write rather than type, at least in the early stages of writing a book.

During her time at St Andrews, she worked with the College of Medicine in Blantyre, Malawi. While in Malawi, she learned about the plight of the many street children there and helped to set up a Community Based Organisation that works with homeless Malawian children to support them through education and training – Chimwemwe Children’s Centre. It was this experience that helped to inspire the Malawian aspects in her novel "The Wrong Kind of Clouds" (briefly released as "The Call"), though, of course, the book is entirely fictional.

She is the author of the urban fantasy trilogy: "The Guardians of The Realm", published in early 2020, and the psychological thriller "Lies That Poison".

Amanda lives in Scotland with her husband, where she can be found writing, walking and running.
