Ann Purser Books in Order

Ann Purser draws inspiration from her idyllic East Midlands village, where she resides among a charming community with a village shop, garage, pub, and church. Her daily interactions with locals and observations of village life infuse her novels with authenticity. A seasoned writer, Purser has navigated diverse careers, including a six-year tenure as a columnist in SHE magazine and proprietor of an art gallery in a 400-year-old barn. She skillfully wove stories around her gallery's eclectic clientele, sharpening her writing skills through eavesdropping and people-watching. Teaching at a village school and participating in the church choir further honed her understanding of human relationships. Purser's academic pursuits include an Open University degree, which she earned after six years of dedicated study. Her experiences as a mother of a child with cerebral palsy and her involvement in local organizations have also significantly influenced her writing.
