Anne Mather

Mildred Grieveson was born on October 10, 1946 in England. She had written all through her infant and junior years and on into her teens, the stories changing from children's adventures to torrid gypsy passions. Her mother used to gather these up from time to time, when her bedroom became too untidy, and dispose of them! Mildred has always wanted to write - which is not to say she has always wanted to be a professional writer. One the contrary, for years She wrote only for her own pleasure, and it wasn't until her husband suggested that She ought to send one of her stories to a publisher that they put several publishers names into a hat and pulled one out. The trouble was, She never used to finish any of the stories, and CAROLINE, her first published book as Anne Mather, was the first book she'd actually completed. She was newly married then, and her daughter was just a baby, and it was quite a job juggling her household chores and scribbling away in exercise books every chance She got. Not very professional, as you can see, but that's the way it was. The rest as they say in history. And now, more than 160 books later,She's literally - excuse the pun - staggered by what happened. She also published books as Caroline Fleming or Cardine Fleming. Her Anne Mather's novel, LEOPARD IN THE SNOW, was developed into a 1978 movie. Mildred now has two grown-up children, a son and daughter, and two adorable grandchildren, Abigail and Ben.
