About
Mandy thought she was a Teacher, until Life pointed out toher that she is actually a writer. As her Cats, Kids and Partner approved, shedecided to agree with Life.
Currently she is working on a five book Sword & Sorcery Novella Series and a Children's Book series collaboration with an Illustrator as a number of other projects. As If that weren’tenough, she spends a week or two a month putting together “Welcome toWherever”, along with trying to juggle Cats, Kids, Partner.
She does all this from a body in South Wales, UK. Where hermind is, she hasn’t yet worked out...

Story Behind The Book
This is my first full length novel and is the first book in a new series. “The Secret of Arking Down” came from my 2009 NaNoWriMo entry. That year I wrote the first 50,000 words of the book and almost overnight, a series came flooding out of the world that I created.
“The Angel’s Crown” introduces all the major players of the series as well as the world they live in; an alternate universe where it is possible to move between dimensions and visit alternate universes. So far, there are two finished books and one in progress and I am planning the fourth book now – NaNoWriMo starts Nov 1st and I am writing book 4 for it!
