Amanda Geard is an internationally bestselling author of multi-timeline novels exploring the hidden histories of courageous women and the secrets that shape families across generations. A lifelong adventurer, she once bought a tiny island in the Norwegian Arctic and lived in a 15-foot cabin, an experience that inspired her latest WWII-era novel, The Glass Key. Her debut, The Midnight House, was a Richard & Judy Book Club pick and has been translated into a dozen languages. Born in Tasmania, Amanda trained as a geoscientist and has worked across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Antipodes. All her novels are rooted in County Kerry, Ireland, where she lives between the mountains and the Atlantic.
