Returning to Australia, and determined to fulfill her writing ambitions, Anna spent many years working at a variety of diverse jobs while she continued to write and trying to be published. After numerous rejections Anna finally came up with an idea for "dark sexy Regency historical" which was published by Avon in 2007 as Claiming the Courtesan. This debut novel went on the win numerous awards and was soon followed later that year by her second novel, Untouched.
