Anne Morris writes everywhere, adapting to her current environment, be it a coffee shop, in the school pick-up line, or even whilst out walking - with a voice recorder, of course! Safety first. She draws inspiration from real-world stories and events just as much as from fictional tales ranging from YA to manga and beyond. Her favourite authors are Kerstin Gier, Jonathan Stroud, Marissa Meyer, Rick Riordan, and Scott Westerfeld. She would like to write a science-fiction epic, perhaps similar to Lord of the Rings but set in space. Other than writing, she enjoys designing and sewing art quilts, for which she draws inspiration from existing art or current news events. Anne lives in California with her husband and teenage children.
