Amanda Prowse
Amanda Prowse, a popular radio and television personality, is a regular panelist on the Channel 5 show ‘The Wright Stuff’ and many other daytime ITV programmes. Amanda makes numerous guest appearances on BBC and independent Radio stations where she’s well known for her insightful observations on human nature and her infectious observational humor.
Her ambition is to craft stories which keep people from turning the bedside lamp off at night, great characters that ensure you take each step along with them, and stories that fill your head up so you cannot possibly read another book until that memory fades.
For ten years she was a management consultant before she realized that she was born to write. Before that, she had always obsessively created short stories and scribbled notes down for possible books. Her novels follow the theme of ordinary women in extraordinary situations and explore just how human nature reacts when individuals are tested to the very edge of their limits

Freya Braithwaite knows that she is lucky. Nineteen years of marriage to a guy that still warms her soul and two gorgeous teen daughters to show for it: thoughtful Lexi and confident Charlotte. Her home’s filled with laughter and love.
However once Lexi’s struggles with weight take control of her life, everything Freya once took for granted unravels, leaving the entire family with a sense of helplessness which can only be confronted with unity, understanding, and above all, love.
One ordinary family tackles some unexpected difficulties and learns that love can find its way through some of life’s darker moments.
“The Idea of You” is the second stand alone novel and was released in the year 2017. What if the only thing you wanted is the only thing that you cannot have?
Lucy Carpenter, with her fortieth birthday approaching, thinks she has it all finally: a wonderful new husband (named Jonah), a successful career and the chance of having a precious baby all her own. Life could not be more perfect.
However becoming parents proves to be a lot harder than Jonah and Lucy first imagined, and when Jonah’s teen daughter Camille comes to stay with them, she becomes a constant reminder of what Lucy does not have. Jonah’s support and love are unquestioning, however Lucy’s struggles with her failing dreams and work start taking their toll. With Camille’s presence straining the bonds of Lucy’s marriage that much more, Lucy feels herself close to losing it all suddenly.
This poignant family drama asks the question: in today’s hectic world, what does it really mean to be a mom?
“The Art of Hiding” is the third stand alone novel and was released in the year 2017. What would you do if you discovered that the life you were living was a lie?

Bereft, along, and faced with a mountain of debt, she soon loses her life of luxury and starts questioning whether she ever truly knew the guy she married. Forced to move out of her family home, she goes back to the rundown Southampton council estate, and the sister, she believed she’d left far behind.
However she cannot allow herself to be overwhelmed, her boys also need her. To save both them, as well as herself, she’ll have to do what her husband had discouraged for so very long: pursue a career of her own. Torn between the life that she thought she knew and the reality that she now faces, she has to learn what it means to take control of her own life finally.
