About Anna
Hello!
I have been an avid reader from a young age. Getting lost in stories, I could never have enough books. You were more likely to see me reading, than watching the TV or playing computer games.
I have a long history of writing business pieces – blogs, articles, whitepapers. I also speak regularly at business events and shows. My goal has always been to write fiction stories – so here I am trying to transition from business writing to the world of fantasy – and it’s hard!!
I recently found out my personality type in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is ‘The Mediator – INFP’. When I was reading a description of this personality type it said “First and foremost is seemingly every Mediators’ dream growing up – to become an author”. Hee hee – yup, that’s me!
Anna 🙂
