ⓘ About Amanda Lees

Amanda Lees is a published author. She was born in Hong Kong. She was able to go through both a convent boarding school and a Jesuit boys’ school before she was ejected from the latter. She has a thirst for adventure, something that she probably gets from her parents. They met in the jungle in Borneo. Her mother had set up a hospital and her father was likely up to no good as a former Gurkha intelligence officer and a spy who was Oxford educated. Her parents would decamp to Hong Kong. There her father came up with a business that imported champagne and whiskey. He would sadly pass away when his daughter was three years old, so she didn’t have any time to get to know him better. She thinks that they would have had a similar sense of humor, however.
