Anna MarklandI was born in England, but I've lived most of my life in Canada. Education, business and disaster relief provided three interesting careers before I became a full-time writer. Genealogy is a long-time hobby (aka addiction) that has had a tremendous ifluence on my stories. My romances are tales of family honor, ancestry, and roots. I am a firm believer in love at first sight. My heroes and heroines may initially deny the attraction between them, but eventually the alchemy wins out. My novels are intimate stories filled with passion, intrigue, adventure and suspense.Writing provides an escape into another world and time where I lose myself in the characters' lives, confident they will triumph in the end and find love. I enjoy ferreting out bits of historical trivia in order to provide the reader with an authentic experience.I hope you come to know and love my cast of characters as much as I do. Read More Read Less
