Anna Cowan has been writing since she was eight years old and her heroine thought the likeliest place to buy a horse was the pet shop. She lives in Melbourne with her Scottish husband. They were married on the shores of Loch Lomond, which was just as romantic as it sounds.Anna's favourite characters are the kind who seduce her intellect and cut themselves right to the bone emotionally. Now that her cross-dressing Duke and the incomparable Katherine are out in the world, she's turning her mind to her next heroine: a murderous debt-collector . . .
