Amanda Bridgeman



Born and raised in the seaside/country town of Geraldton, Western Australia, Amanda hails from fishing and farming stock. The youngest of four children, her three brothers raised her on a diet of Rocky, Rambo, Muhammad Ali and AC/DC. Naturally, she grew up somewhat of a tomboy, preferring to watch action/sci-fi films over the standard rom-com, and liking her music rock hard. But that said, she can swoon with the best of them and is really not a fan of bugs.

She lived in Gero for 17 years, before moving to Perth (WA) to pursue her dreams and study film & television/creative writing at Murdoch University (BA Communication Studies). Perth has been her home ever since, aside from a nineteen month stint in London (England).

She is a writer and a film buff. She loves most genres, but is particularly fond of the Spec-Fic realm. She likes action, epic adventures, and strong characters that draw you in, making you want to follow them on their wild, rollercoaster rides. Her latest novel Aurora: Centralis, book 4 in the Aurora series, is being released through Momentum Books (Pan Macmillan) in March 2015.

When shes not writing, she loves to travel and partake in a little photography.

Dan Hanks
"Move over Indiana Jones, Captain Moxley has arrived and she won’t ask you twice! A secret organisation, otherworldly treasures and terrors, and one kick-ass heroine make this an action-packed read!"
