Anne is mainly nocturnal, but can be coaxed out into daylight by promises of chocolate and rum.

Words won’t leave her alone – through her they escape into anthologies, festivals, and even library walls.

She has a blog of comic verse (and occasional rants) – Ladies Who Don’t Have Time For Lunch.

For those who may be Doctor Who fans, her Voice of the Fez blog has haiku for every story in the show’s long history.
