Anna Normann is the pseudonym of authors Anan Singh and Natalie Normann who have been writing together in Norwegian for many years. Anan was born in northern India and had his first short story published in an Indian newspaper at fourteen. Natalie grew up on the west coast of Norway and has always been fascinated with the country’s period of occupation. She is a prolific historical romance writer in her native language and more recently published two contemporary Norwegian-set romances in English. How did their collaboration start, you ask?  Sometime in the eighties, while watching a movie with a so-so plot, they started arguing about improving the plot and how they could write a better story than that mess. And then Anan’s wife said ‘I bet you can’t’!  And the rest is history.

The Silent Resistance is their first collaboration in English. The book is out on December 5th, 2024
