ANNA JACOBS grew up in Lancashire and emigrated to Australia, but still visits the UK regularly to see her family and to do research, something she loves. She is the author of over 50 novels: addicted to writing, she figures she'll have to live to be 120 at least to tell all the stories that keep popping up in her imagination and nagging her to write them down. She's also addicted to her own hero, to whom she's been happily married for many years.
