Amanda’s Writing Journey
Amanda Chapman is a passionate author whose debut book, A Journey of Change, marks the beginning of an exciting literary career. Her love for the written word began in her youth, when she excelled in English literature at school. Captivated by the timeless novels of the Brontë sisters and Jane Eyre, Amanda was drawn into the world of storytelling, feeling a deep connection with the characters and their journeys. This early fascination with literature sparked her desire to write and share her own stories.
Throughout her life, Amanda has experienced both immense joy and profound grief. She has celebrated the births of her five children and six grandchildren, treasures that have filled her heart with love. Yet, she has also faced significant challenges and moments of loss. In times of hardship, Amanda’s unwavering faith in Jesus and the steadfast support of her family have been her anchors, providing her with strength and resilience. She firmly believes that love and faith instil the power to overcome any obstacle, a philosophy that has shaped her character and her writing.
a Story of Change…
In A Journey of Change, Amanda introduces Charlotte Manning’s, a female character on a poignant journey of self-discovery. After the sudden death of her soulmate, Charlotte’s rosy vision of the future is shattered, leaving her to navigate a life filled with uncertainty. Amanda found that writing Charlotte’s story helped her process her emotional struggles and transformations, creating a heartfelt narrative that resonates with readers.
Now, Amanda is immersed in the research for her next book, a fascinating true story about her grandmother’s journey on the ill-fated Titanic. With echoes of Barbara Taylor Bradford’s The Woman of Substance, this new project promises to capture the same passion and emotional depth, inviting readers to experience a tale of history, heartache, and hope.
Life of Adventure
Amanda is also an avid traveller, cook, and reader. She has a deep love for traveling and exploring new places, which has allowed her to broaden her perspective on life and connect with people from different walks of life.
From bustling cities to quiet, remote villages, Amanda has always been captivated by the stories each new destination has to offer. The sights, sounds, and cultures of the world inspire her writing and fuel her curiosity about the human experience. With a passion for learning and discovery, Amanda is determined to visit more places across the globe, hoping to experience the diversity and beauty that the world has to offer. Her travels are a reflection of her belief in the power of change and personal growth, which is evident in both her own life and the characters she creates.
The Language of Food…
Amanda is also an accomplished cook, finding joy in the kitchen and experimenting with new recipes. Cooking, for Amanda, is a creative outlet and a way to connect with others through the universal language of food. Whether preparing a simple family meal or trying her hand at more complex dishes, she delights in the process of creating something delicious and nourishing.
When she’s not traveling or cooking, Amanda can often be found with her nose in a book. A lifelong lover of literature, she enjoys reading a wide range of genres, from historical fiction to contemporary novels, with a special fondness for books that explore the complexities of the human heart. It was this love for storytelling that first inspired her to write, and it continues to fuel her creativity and passion for her craft.
Collaboration of Friendship
One of the most cherished projects in Amanda Chapman’s writing journey is the daily devotion book Jesus, Who Am I With You? which she is co-writing with her long-time friend and fellow writer, B.JEAN Gilmour.

Set for release on 1st May 2025, Jesus, Who Am I With You? is more than just a book – it’s a daily companion designed to inspire and nurture the reader’s relationship with Jesus.
The Transformative Power of Jesus…
Each page of the book contains a profound devotion, one for every day of the year, thoughtfully crafted to engage the senses and encourage personal reflection.
