Manda Scott
Manda Scott’s first book was shortlisted for the Orange Prize and her most recent, Treachery of Spies, for the Saltire Award. In between, she wrote the Boudica: Dreaming and ROME series. Most of her books have been optioned for TV at some point or other so now she’s moved onto writing television scripts, podcasting and running a smallholding while trying to avert climate apocalypse.
