An army brat born in England, Ann lived all over the UK in her youth. She grew up loving history, but majored in business, with history on the side. Now living in Canada, she has a husband and two lovely daughters and a Maltese Terrier called Teaser, who likes to sit on a chair beside the computer while she works.

During her l career as a university administrator, the call of the past and the stories in her imagination brought her to a fork in the road. After writing her first novel in 2000, a never-see-the-light-of-day-effort, and then having her first book published in 2006, she decided to write full time in 2008 and hasn't looked back.

Over the years several of her books have won awards, including one from Foreword Magazine . She is particularly proud of her 2009 win of the Daphne DuMaurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense for The Rake's Inherited Courtesan.

She loves the Georgian era, and within that, the period known as the long Regency. She also adores happy endings. You will find her print books in bookstores in the month of issue, as well as on line where you will also find her e-books.
