USAToday Bestselling Author. As an amateur genealogist (aka an addict of family tree research) I became obsessed with tracing my English roots back to the Norman Conquest in the 11th century. This turned out to be a pipe dream since I am not descended from nobility and records were not kept for "common folks" until much later. Even then, early parish records are often indecipherable. As a result, I began to write stories about a noble medieval family I conjured from my imagination. The Montbryces were born. Like many people, I had an inner compulsion to write one good book. What was originally intended as that one book about my fictional family eventually became the 12-book series, The Montbryce Legacy. In other words, writing superseded genealogy as my principal addiction, and I have since published more than 60 novels and novellas. Almost all are historical romances that feature Vikings, Highlanders, medieval knights or Regency earls. You can find more details on my website annamarkland.com. I've lived most of my life in Canada, though I was born in the UK. An English grammar school education instilled in me a love of European history which continues to this day. While I may boast of being a proud Canadian, I'm still a Lancashire lass at heart. Before becoming a full-time writer, I was an elementary school teacher, a job I loved. I then worked as administrator for a world-wide disaster relief organization. I love cats, although I haven't been able to bring myself to adopt another one since unexpectedly losing Topaz a few years ago. I have few domestic skills. You'll notice most of my heroines hate sewing! I try to follow three simple writing guidelines. I give my characters free rein to tell their story, which often turns out to be different from the original version in my head. I'm a firm believer in love at first sight. My protagonists may initially deny the attraction but, eventually, my heroes and heroines find their soul mates. It seems only natural then to include scenes of intimacy enjoyed by people who love each other deeply. I believe such intimacy is wholesome. Historical accuracy is important to me, although I have been known to tweak history when necessary. I write romance because I find happy endings very satisfying. You can find me on all the usual social media platforms.
