BEGINNER’S PLUCK: Amanda Brobyn

Amanda Brobyn was a bank manager. Regional manager for all the business and commercial sectors for a very large bank in Northern Ireland, she gave it all up for her writing.

“I was doing a Masters on script writing — working three full days, and travelling 60 miles to college on the other days. I did my assignments and research in the evenings and at weekends, but when it came to my dissertation I had to make a choice. 2010 was hard. But I graduated that year, and got a three book deal.”

Amanda is also an actress. She had roles in the films, Fifty Dead Men Walking and Be More Ethnic.
