Amanda Hayward was born and raised in Newcastle NSW, Australia. She lived several years in the UK, where she met her husband and dragged him and her two daughters back to Sydney Australia, where they now reside.
Amanda spends her time, when not running around after her two girls who are 9 and 5, working on or breaking The Writer’s Coffee Shop website.
She prefers to write and bounce ideas off her friends, hence writing with a co-author who also happens to be one of her very closest friends.
