Anne Brooke is 40 years old and currently living in Surrey, despite being an Essex Girl at heart. She is the author of numerous short stories and poetry and, in 2003, was shortlisted for the Asham Award for Women Writers as well as being the overall winner of the DSJT Charitable Trust Open Poetry Award. She has recently published her first poetry collection, "Tidal", and her first novel, "The Hit List". Future aspirations include publishing her second novel, "A Dangerous Man", which was one of the winners of the Crème de la Crime novel writing competition, in 2005, and one day tackling her enormous ironing pile. In her spare time, she plays extraordinarily bad golf. More information can be found at her website.
