Anna Mansell

Anna had a brush with 'fame' as a magician’s assistant back in 1977, though she does not attribute being sawn in half at 6months old to any of the therapy she has since received. She's tried and failed at acting, singing, recruitment, and professional murder mystery parties (she was ALWAYs the one to die!), and by the time she hit her mid thirties, decided she'd give writing a go. Since then, Anna O’Steele - writing as Anna Mansell - has written six novels published by Bookouture, achieving Top 10 status on the iBooks chart, plus Amazon Top 100 in the UK, AUS and Canada, German and Estonian translations, and several audio books. She's also written a Rom Com for Harper North under the pseudonym, Lottie Brook. She writes for local and national media, has written for screen and stage, and turned her hand to hosting the podcast, How To Breathe So You Don't Look Fat, a show about out relationship to body, self and food, titled after a lesson she was taught at 8 yrs old.
