Anne is a native Californian who lives with her husband; her two kids are in college. A librarian by education and experience, she has always loved stories. It is often after hearing some snippet, incident, or news report that rattles around and becomes the foundation for a whole novel.

She fell in love with Jane Austen the first time she read Pride and Prejudice, but Anne reads other romance novelists like Mary Balogh, Tessa Dare, and Mary Jo Putney. She grew up reading comic books, but her kids introduced her to Manga.

Her settings for her Pride and Prejudice variations have been in both Modern and Dystopian periods. But her strongest setting is the one most familiar to those who share a love of the story—the Regency era with the manners, prejudices, and limitations that add such delightful seasoning.
