About Amanda Lamb

What will you do with your one wild and precious life?\"-Mary Oliver I\'m still working on the answer to this question. How about you? I\'ve had so many chapters, and I know that I\'m not done yet. I\'m curious about everything, and curiosity is what allows us to grow and learn, and ultimately, to become the best versions of ourselves. For more than thirty years, I\'ve lived in front of the camera as a television news reporter. I\'ve covered everything from hurricanes to homicides, but crime reporting is my specialty. My goal is always to report every story with compassion, insight and integrity. Journalism has given me a magic carpet ride on the coattails of so many adventures that have shaped the way I see the world and interact with the people I\'ve been humbled to meet and interview. I am also a newly minted podcaster with two ten-episode true crime shows in the works, as well as an interview podcast for the Glioblastoma Foundation which features patients and their families. I am infatuated with this genre and can\'t wait to write and produce more shows. It\'s a medium that allows stories, topics and characters to breathe in a unique way. In 2007, I published my first book and haven\'t stopped writing since that time. To date, I have published three true crime books, four memoirs, two children\'s books and one work of fiction,\"Dead Last.\" The second book in my murder mystery series,\"Lies That Bind,\" will be available on Amazon May 27. I am currently working on the third installment of the series,\"No Wake Zone,\" which will be published in 2022. I created a consulting company called \"Stage Might\" which has several components. First, I help people fully engage with their audience whether they are speaking in a boardroom, a ballroom, or even on Zoom. It\'s been said before that to many people public speaking is a bigger fear than death. It doesn\'t have to be. I believe that I can help people reach their fullest potential when it comes to sharing their message in a confident and effective manner. I\'m also an engaging public speaker who is available to talk on a variety of topics including writing, crime reporting and helping professional women find their path to getting seat at just about any table. So, back to the question, what am I going to do with my one wild and precious life? The answer is A LOT. Stay tuned.
