Ann MasseyThere's a saying when one door closes a window opens and that's what it was like for Ann. When the newspaper where she worked closed, she turned her back on the city, and headed off to the Australian outback as a governess. The cattle station where se tutored three young girls was close to the Carnarvon tracking station built by NASA for the Gemini program. Wheels turned and she began writing a thriller about the International Space Station. Ann Massey is the author of three successful novels. Her books draw on different literary traditions. She calls them square-pegs because they don't fit neatly into a specific genre slot. Her new release, The Little Dog Laughed is a whimsical historical fantasy set in Roman-occupied Briton. As a schoolgirl, Ann was a great fan of the Regency romances of Georgette Heyer, and it was inevitable that she would one day write a novel with a heroine disguised as a boy. Ann Holds a degree in teaching and currently teaches English literature. Outside of teaching she worked in the newspaper industry as a sub-editor and marketing manager. She won the prestigious INMA marketing award in 1986. After living in England and Borneo, she now resides in the seaside suburb of Quinns Rocks in Western Australia. Read More Read Less
