Amanda Jayne realized books were magic and could take you to other places, times and universes when she was very young and wanted to become an author immediately. However she waited several decades so she could find something to write about. As soon as she realized offices, rules and regulations were not her thing, she left her job in mental health and said goodbye to her native England, taking off to find out more about the world and the amazing array of people living in it. She spent 10 years living and traveling in various countries during which she worked in an orphanage in Bolivia where she managed to contract typhoid, lived in Japan for five years while studying Jikiden Reiki with the Yamaguchi family and gained a masters in Spiritual Psychology in the USA. Just before she returned to the UK in 2009 she walked 1,200 km around the 88 temples pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan. These days she teaches Jikiden Reiki, provides Heart Circle coaching, and writes books. She's sometimes quite busy. She illustrates her children's books herself in an effort to help young readers see the magical pictures and colors she imagines. Some of the things she loves are trees, art, being with friends, making up stories for her nephews, karaoke, cats and dark chocolate, not necessarily in that order. She lives in a quiet corner of Kent in the UK and tries, but usually fails, to stay there for long periods of time. You can find out more about what she's up to at http://www.amandacjayne.com
