‘Oh Anna Mansell, what have you done to me, woman!!... Unbelievably beautiful... You NEED to read The Lost Wife.’ The Writing Garnet, 5 stars. Anna spent almost twenty years trying to shoehorn writing in to her career as a marketing manager for dance and theatre companies. Eventually, she did what you are not remotely supposed to do and walked away from an excellent job in order to try and become a published author. Three years, lots of tears and some slightly hairy bank balances later, she met Kirsty Greenwood and the rest, as they say, is history. Anna lives in Cornwall with her husband and two kids. She feels very fortunate!
