Anna Housego

Anna is a former journalist, outback pub handywoman, political adviser, and wordsmith-for-hire but now writes for readers like you. The storytelling gene comes from Irish ancestors. Growing up in a wilderness town with many eccentrics and colourful characters switched it on. She lives a long way south on Tasmania, an island off the south-eastern corner of Australia, where her two grown-up children and their families are nearby. Her debut novel, The Way To Midnight (2018), is a gripping 1930s mystery inspired by a true family scandal that shocked a nation. Her second novel, One Small Life (2019), follows the struggle of a traumatised woman to discover her origins and make her life count in the face of dire events. The third novel is Crows On The Roof (2022), set in Australia's remote north, where a young woman on the run must rely on the mysterious bond that develops with an elderly friend if she is to save herself.
