Books, stories and blogs from Amanda J Harrington

 

Welcome to the Wisha Tree, my online home and hidey-hole. This is where I come when I should be doing something really useful, like housework, making tea or feeding cats and dogs. I sneak onto the computer and talk to my readers, write about my books and stories or work on my latest project.

I'm always happy to hear from readers, so if you want to get in touch, use the Contact page. Sometimes the housework and the tea making come between me and the computer, but I will reply as soon as possible.  

Subscribe to the blog to keep up with my various escapades and see if you can guess which of them will make their way into the next story!
