Born Amanda Crozier in London in 1958 and adopted from birth, I have lived in Middlesex, Essex and Derbyshire before finally settling down in rural Suffolk. I am married with three grown up children and grandchildren. A springer spaniel, a Siberian husky and a lop rabbit complete my family. I learned to ride at the age of four on a neighbour's donkey and from there moved on to horses. Having been introduced to The Dragon Riders of Pern whilst lying flat after a back injury, I guess the progression to a love for dragons was the logical next step. I am currently working on "Weather the Storm" - the second book of The Dragonlore Trilogy. I have a love for dragons and a tale to tell.
