Amanda Ortlepp always wanted to be a writer, but it took thirty years and a decade of working in marketing and communication roles before she started writing her first book. That story was abandoned after a few months because Amanda stumbled across the topic of embryo donation and quickly became fascinated by it. She started writing a new book, which eventually became CLAIMING NOAH. It is set in the inner west of Sydney, where Amanda lives and works.
Amanda’s follow up book is RUNNING AGAINST THE TIDE.
