Amanda Sandton lives in the beautiful Dordogne, in the South West of France, where she runs a creative center for writers and artists offering retreats and painting holidays. Before settling in France, Amanda spent many years traveling widely in Western Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and her local knowledge of far-away places enriches her romantic stories. Having had enough of globe-trotting, Amanda now spends her time writing and running the creative center in collaboration with two Husky-cross-Border Collie puppies and a fluffy grey tabby cat.
