Anne Manning believes she was a Texan in a previous life.
Most of her books are set in her beloved Texas, where she
has lived with her family since 1999. Her household also
includes three persnickety cats and a ferret named Arturo.
Anne was a finalist in 1998 in Romance Writers of America's
Golden Heart contest and saw that novel, Presidential
Liaison, published the next year to critical acclaim. Other
works by Anne Manning are Rustler's Bride, Ripples (finalist
in 2001 for the EPPIE for Best Paranormal Romance),
Bloodlines, and The Raven's Lady, which won the 2000 EPPIE
for Best Paranormal Romance.
Anne is a member of Romance Writers of America, San Antonio

Internet Connection, which she has served in many
capacities, including as President.
"Romance has to be the best possible world for an optimist.
There's always trouble, but there's always a happy ending.
And hope for happiness is the greatest gift a writer can
bring a reader," Anne says.
