Amanda Knight

For as long as she can remember, award winning author Amanda Knight has been intrigued by the factors that motivate human behaviour, particularly crime, and especially, crimes borne of issues within relationships. (In fact, in the wrong hands, herGoogle research may take some explaining!)

In 2017, Amanda's debut romantic suspense novel Situation Critical won her the Australian Romance Readers Association Best New Author award, and Australian AusRom Today Best New Romance Author award. Her latest book, A Guardian for Christmas won the National Excellence in Storytelling Contest (NEST) in 2025 and was a finalist in the Carolyn Readers' Choice Award - 2025.

When she's not writing about the light and dark of domestic relationships, antisocial personality disorders or uniformed heroes and heroines and love and loss in small town communities, Amanda, a certified life coach, spends her days helping people find and be the best version of themselves. With over twenty-five years experience in the field of people and culture, Amanda is dedicated to growing people, enabling potential and maximising performance (and loves to bring that knowledge full circle when creating her characters!)

Amanda lives in a beautiful beachside suburb in Sydney, Australia, with her husband, three adult children, a talkative kitty (who thinks he's a dog) and the best ever (naughty!) good boy golden retriever pup.
