Amanda Boulter

Amanda Boulter is following her dream to become a full time writer. After nearly 25 years of teaching English and Creative Writing at the University of Winchester (big wave to all the lovely students and staff from those years), she is saying goodbye to nine o'clock lectures and hello to making up stories in the bath. So she has given up her job, sold her house, packed her two sons off to University and is now going her own way in a little house in the wilds of North Devon, England. She spends her days writing stories, growing vegetables and cycling up and down the Tarka Trail to have working picnics on the beach.

She is working with the prize-winning illustrator Leo Hartas to create a new series of children's books about a Viking boy called Little Moose and his dog Wolfie, telling the story of their lives growing up in a fantasy-historical world. From cute toddler tales to epic adventures, young readers can grow up with these new story-time friends as the series takes them from Toddler Books and Picture Books to Early Readers and Developing Readers, Chapter Books and finally YA Novels. There's a big journey ahead for Little Moose and Wolfie - and a big adventure for Amanda (and Leo) too. It's going to be fun!
