S13.Ep 1: From Call Centre to Multi-Million Best-Selling Author: Amanda Prowse

Amanda Prowse loved reading as a child. She was very shy and used to escape with her ‘friends’ in her books. She loved the idea of writing her own stories, but when a teacher told her at the age of 7, she’d never make it as an author - she believed her. But fast forward to today and well, if that teacher could see her now. Amanda has written 35 novels as well as novellas, non-fiction books and a couple of plays. She’s sold millions and millions of copies in 22 countries and is one of the most read authors on Kindle Unlimited. What’s even more amazing about Amanda is this all happened in the last 11 years. Amanda didn’t start writing until she was 43. Since then she’s bought her dream home for her family and she spends her days writing the stories she loves. But what Amanda didn’t know was that writing would help in such a special way when her son Josh became poorly with depression. In this conversation we touch on some dark subjects – but you will hear – as with her books  -Amanda’s warmth, love and enthusiasm for life means we also laughed and laughed… Amanda believes we all have the courage to overcome our fears and live a life we truly love.
