J’ai commencé à dévorer les livres dès que j’ai su lire. La Bibliothèque rose, la Bibliothèque verte, puis de nombreux romans qui me faisaient vivre mille et une vies.

J’avais huit ans quand j’ai écrit mon premier roman sur un cahier de brouillon vert au dos duquel figuraient des tables de multiplication. Il parlait d’amour, de mer et d’un soleil qui mettait trente pages à se coucher.

En sixième, je répondais « Écrire des livres » à la question « Que voulez-vous faire plus tard ? » sur les fiches que l’on remplissait en début d’année. Pas à chaque fois, parce qu’il m’est aussi arrivé de vouloir être styliste. Ça n’a pas duré longtemps : tout le monde v

Anna Stuart

I wanted to be an author from the moment I could pick up a pen and was writing boarding-school novels by the age of nine. I made the early mistake of thinking I ought to get a ‘proper job’ and went into Factory Planning – a career that gave me some wonderful experiences, amazing friends and even a fantastic husband, but didn’t offer much creative scope. So when I stopped to have children I took the chance to start the ‘improper job’ of writing. During the baby years I wrote in the brief gaps provided by sleeps, playschools and obliging grandparents, publishing short stories and serials in all the women’s magazines.

But my ultimate aim was to write longer fiction and several years ago I published a series of successful historical novels under
