Amanda Brooke Hi Alison

No you're not being a pain at all. I don't run the competitions myself but if you can send me a private message and let me have some details I'll contact my publisher and we'll get a copy organised for you. You're best contacting me through my Facebook page (www.facebooke.com/amandabrookeauthor) or Twitter (@AmandaBrookeAB) and if you let me have some details I'll contact my publisher and we'll get a copy organised for you.

Amanda Brooke My next book which is due to be published in 2015 is about a married couple who are expecting their first child when David goes missing without warning. His wife Jo is left wondering what could have happened and more importantly why. Countless scenarios begin to haunt her in the tortuous months that follow his disappearance. Clues suggest one thing while her heart tells her something else and all the while, life moves on so fast that she is held hostage by her own emotions.
Amanda Brooke Where I Found You was published in June 2014 but I came up with the idea back in 2012 while I was out jogging one morning (which makes me sound far more healthier than I am…) I noticed a park bench tucked away next to a duck pond and it made me think of the time I had sat on a similar bench, heavily pregnant with my first child and wondering how my life was about to change and how I would cope. As I continued on my run, I could imagine a ghostly impression of myself still sitting there all those years ago…

When I arrived back home huffing and puffing, I was still thinking about that bench only now I was imagining what would happen if two strangers sat down and began talking, what if they shared the same kind of problems and sparked up a friendship. That simple premise was the catalyst for a whole host of other 'what ifs' and that's when I knew I had a story I had to write.
