Amanda Willimott writes historical fiction centring the experiences of women. She has always been captivated by history and folklore, which led to her pursuing a degree in history and anthropology, where she wrote her thesis on witchcraft. In her spare time, she enjoys singing popular show tunes, adding to her to-read pile of books, and trying to find gluten-free bread that tastes like real bread. Amanda lives in Melbourne, Australia with a large, co-dependent rescue tabby named Titus. Winter of the Wolf is her first novel.
