The first incident occurred, very innocently, at home, when her older sister dressed her up in a nurses uniform as part of a game they were playing together. The uniform in question was, of course, a girls costume At the time Anna’s sister was three years older than she was and there is no indication she had any intention to influence her younger sibling, but it planted in a seed in Anna’s soul that has grown and blossomed ever since.The second thing happened in primary school. Anna had been given a teddy bear called Albert by an older cousin who claimed to have outgrown it. Anna loved that bear more than any other toy she possessed and, when her class was given the task of writing a story, she decided to make the story about him. She decided to make Albert into a superhero and the subsequent story filled three school exercise books. From then on Anna found a love of making up stories.During her early teens Anna dressed as often as she could, usually borrowing her sister's clothes. At the age of fifteen, her parents discovered a stash of clothes hidden in her wardrobe. Unfortunately they didn’t handle the discovery very well asked Anna if they needed to take her to a shrink or was it just a stupid phase. Given that choice, and to avoid confrontation, she lied and said it was a phase. As you probably guessed she carried on dressing afterwards, she was just a little more careful.No matter what else happened, Anna’s writing continued. In her twenties Anna was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of cancer and was, at one point, less than seven days away from death. Luckily an observant radiographer had come across this cancer once before and the hospital were able to treat her successfully. She has been left with scars, both physical and mental which have made her life a struggle.Despite this, Anna has tried to lead a normal life working in a variety of sales based jobs. As the physical scars of her illness took their toll on her body Anna found herself having to move into less strenuous jobs within the sales world until she ended up working in a small gift shop specialising in hand crafted gifts from local residents.In 2019 Anna’s cancer returned and she was forced to, once again, undergo a painful and debilitating series of treatments including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and steroids. After a twelve month fight she has now been given the all clear again and has returned to the desk to work on her next novel.Before the return of her cancer Anna was working with a group of similar writers to promote the writings of Transgender fiction that doesn’t fit the stereotype of “us all being sissy, cuckold sex addicts.” By promoting a single publisher that upholds a certain standard they are hoping that they will be able to provide readers with a guarantee of quality when they buy books and writers with support, help and access to top quality editors, proof-readers and experienced authors.Anna hopes to resurrect this project in the not too distant future.ver menos
