 Amanda Lamb is a professional television journalist, author, and mother. She covers murder trials by day and reads to her children at night. Amanda writes in two completely different genres: one about her life at home and one that mirrors the life of a hard news reporter.
She is also a veteran crime reporter for an award-winning CBS television station in the Southeast, WRAL, and writes a regular online column called Dispatches from a Reporter’s Notebook.
In her eighteen years being a professional journalist, Amanda has made regular appearances on several national news programs including the FOX News show On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.
In addition to her first book, Smotherhood: Wickedly Funny Confessions from the Early Years, Amanda will soon publish her second book, Deadly Dose: The Untold Story of a Homicide Investigator's Crusade for Truth and Justice, a true crime about a young, promising scientist who is poisoned with arsenic by his wife. The book is scheduled to publish in June 2008 by the Berkley Group, a division of Penguin.
In 2005, Amanda’s writing was featured in This Day in the Life. Her candid, touching chapter opens the powerful, critically acclaimed collection of diaries from thirty-four women across the country.
Some of Amanda’s other work can be viewed on Dotmoms, a parenting Web site where she was a regular contributor from 2003-2007. She is one of the pioneer members of a community of women around the world who share moving parental anecdotes and insight.
A native of Philadelphia, she now makes her home in North Carolina with her husband and two little girls who continue providing her with more material than she could ever write about in a lifetime.
Amanda graduated with degrees in English and psychology from Duke University and obtained her masters degree in journalism from Northwestern University.
