Anne Ward

by Pamela Winning

Anne Ward is a published writer in the enviable situation of having the freedom to write whenever and wherever she pleases. Weather permitting, she prefers to be outside and a notebook and pen on Blackpool Promenade or Stanley Park would be ideal.

She writes fiction, with a lean towards the historical; and poetry, finding inspiration everywhere. For her, writing is escapism with a desire to entertain and amuse others. Some of her work was included in the 2012 Haunted Blackpool feature in the illuminations and published in the anthology. She is a regular contributor at the Blackpool Dead Good Poets’ open mic events and always manages to write about the chosen topic. She has a blog and includes snippets about her cat, Raffles.

Her reading interests include historical fiction, gothic horror and some non-fiction.

Anne is well-travelled and combining her love of history, has flown over ancient Egypt in a hot-air balloon.

As we chatted, I was interested to learn about Anne’s years spent involved as a volunteer with the Red Cross and how her First Aid skills had contributed to saving someone’s life. She has worked with the Scouts and still has an active role within the worship group of her church.

Anne has a wealth of experience to bring to the page and the imagination to do what she most desires, to achieve success with continued publication.
