Anne K. Austen is a pseudonym, and everything about this author is enveloped in shadows and mystery. So you, dear reader, who are delving into this biography, will have to keep her identity a secret if you happen to uncover it... One unquestionable truth is that Anne was born on 22nd August, 19?? Another indisputable fact is that she never reveals her age, especially now that she's facing a significant midlife crisis in her forties. Yikes! She was born in Santurtzi (Spain), or was it in New York? The truth is, she did wander along the coast to a tiny village in Vitoria, which she now misses because she's rarely stood still. That's what happens when you feel like conquering the world—you can never stay put. Her life has always been an endless chapter filled with books. As a child, she read more than she spoke and sought refuge in hefty novels perhaps too advanced for her age. She even reads shampoo bottle instructions, so she has a wealth of information in her head that mixes and intertwines, driving her a bit mad. So, she lets it out in the form of plots and characters. Every corner of her mind is a treasure trove of ideas and creativity, fuelled by years of devouring books and exploring literary universes. At twelve, she discovered the world of romantic novels, with covers of muscular men and hair worthy of shampoo adverts, and she devoured them as if there were no tomorrow. It was also at that age that Anne began writing her first novels on sheets of paper, with lines that never quite managed to be straight. She shared these stories in class, completely distracting her classmates, until her language teacher confiscated one of her novels. To her surprise, the teacher read it and encouraged her to keep writing! At twelve, she also won her first short story prize, and in 2017 she was a finalist in the Amazon Literary Prize—but with her other personality, the more serious and dramatic one. With high expectations, she studied Economics, but Anne never stopped writing. In study halls, instead of preparing seriously, she found herself inventing stories. After all, a writer isn't made—they're born, and it's impossible not to write when you spend more time creating worlds than living in reality. Anne is a voracious reader and an undeniable lover of any literary genre, including romance, of which she declares herself a staunch defender. The capacity to love is our most human virtue, and passion is its way of expressing itself. Writing about it makes her the luckiest woman on earth, and she hopes to share some of that happiness with her readers. So, if you ever bump into Anne and she doesn't respond, don't hold it against her. She's in another world, creating. She can't conceive of a life without books, without stories of men who take your breath away and make you feel butterflies in your stomach. She can't imagine reality without unrealities because that's who she is: a dreamer, a hopeless romantic who needs romantic stories as much as the air she breathes.
