Anne Dublin’s parents are Holocaust survivors who came to Canada after World War II. Anne grew up in a house without books, but there were lots of stories that she loved to listen to. Eventually, she discovered the public library, which opened up a whole new world. Anne read books in the biography section about famous people like Alexander Graham Bell and Florence Nightingale. She also loved the Anne novels by L.M. Montgomery, the Nancy Drew mysteries, and even Superman comic books. When she grew up, she taught English and French at elementary schools for many years. But she still didn’t think of herself as a writer.

When Anne’s children were young, she read to them and made up stories. Soon she started going to storytelling evenings and eventually took a couple of storytelling courses. She fell in love with stories all over again.

After telling one particular family story, Anne wanted to write it down. That story became an important scene in her first novel, Written on the Wind. Now that she’s been writing for over ten years, Anne can’t imagine her life without writing.
