Author Description

Amanda Geard is the bestselling author of THE MIDNIGHT HOUSE, THE MOON GATE and THE GLASS KEY. She has always loved novels with multiple timelines, ones which weave a complex web that resolve as the reader turns the final page, where secrets lie just beneath the surface (if only the characters know where to look!). She’s also a geologist who explores and maps the earth’s remote places. She splits her time between Ireland, Norway and ‘the field’. “The inspiration for my first novel, THE MIDNIGHT HOUSE, appeared in the rafters of our Irish home, a two-hundred-year-old stone building perched on the edge of the Atlantic. Hidden there was a message, scratched into wood: 'When this comes down, pray for me. Tim O’Shea 1911'. As I held that piece of timber in my hands, dust clinging to my paint-stained clothes, I was humbled that a person’s fingerprint could, in a thousand ways, transcend time, and I wanted nothing more than to capture that feeling of discovery on the page. My second novel, THE MOON GATE, is set across three locations: Tasmania (the place I grew up), London (where I lived for years in a houseboat on Paddington Canal) and County Kerry, Ireland (my home). Each of these places is special to me and I hope the settings, as much as the characters, will reach out from the page and reassure you that – in this world – you are not alone. Finally, the inspiration for THE GLASS KEY appeared all the way back in April 2011, when my husband and I bought an island in the arctic. During our time there, we learned a great deal about Norway at war, and The Glass Key pays homage to this, weaving in the struggles of four women in Occupied Norway and the lengths they’ll go to to survive. The book is set on a fictional version of our island. Expect love and sacrifice. Expect tears. But most of all, expect hope."
