Anna Maynard’s experience as a writer has largely been restricted to medical letters and discharge summaries, which although written with care, are generally not butterfly-inducing. So, after sitting her specialist medical exams she decided it was time to write about romance.

When she’s not dreaming up fictional heroines and swoony love interests she can be found working in the emergency department, pottering in her garden, playing songs with her pop band, or racing on her bike to the school pickup.

Anna lives in Tasmania with her husband and three young children. She has a voracious appetite for life and a robust ability to laugh at herself.

Anna has signed a two-book deal with Echo Publishing and the first of these romance novels, Dancing with Bees will be published in the first quarter of 2025.
