Demons & Being In the Wrong World at the Wrong Time with Amanda Fleet

Not to make this all about me, but I am incredibly nervous about my first Urban Fantasy novel coming out in November. After all, up til now, most of my work has been nonfiction/business-y stuff or Historical Fiction. This week’s guest, Amanda Fleet, has gone through a similar journey, what with the launch of her new Guardians of the Realm series. The second book comes out March 7.

I know you’re a bit of an over-achiever. Tell us about yourself.

Oh, toughest question first! I’m not good at
talking about me!

I’m a writer, living in Scotland. I used to be a
university lecturer, teaching physiology to medical students (and science
students in the early days). At the start, teaching the students was fun and
the non-teaching bits were okay too. But after a couple of decades and a series
of terrible managers, although the students were still great fun, the job was
literally almost killing me (serious arrhythmia and a breakdown), so I left. I
now write as my ‘job’ though the pay and conditions suck.
