Sunday Times Bestselling Author Anne O’Brien was born in West Yorkshire. After gaining a BA Honours degree in History at Manchester University, a PGCE at Leeds, and a Master’s in Education at Hull, she lived in East Yorkshire for many years as a teacher of history.

Today she has sold a million copies of her books in the UK and internationally. She lives with her husband in an eighteenth-century timber-framed cottage in the depths of the Welsh Marches in Herefordshire, on the border between England and Wales. The area provides endless inspiration for her novels about the forgotten women of medieval history.

Anne’s new book, published in February 2025, is The Queen and The Countess, celebrating the lives of Queen Margaret of Anjou and Anne Beauchamp, Countess of Warwick, both women under duress during the bloody conflict of the Wars of the Roses.
