Born in Manchester, England, Anne Attias has lived in Italy, Greece and Israel before returning to Manchester to raise her two sons. She began her career as a reporter for local press and worked in marketing, media, housing and local government before retiring to write her first book, The Paradise Scheme. Anne wrote the novel to see if there was a better way forward for the human race. With mega changes since the 1960s, Anne has written a story called Lifetimes which reflects the big events shaping our modern history. It was a momentous period of change. The area she grew up, the schools she attended, places she worked have all been demolished. Modern technology has changed lives dramatically. Lifetimes records a vanished era. She is currently writing a modern family saga called Allbrite, a sleepy town in Montana, USA where three generations of the O'Brien family are raised. Follow their trials, tribulations and celebrations as they cope with contemporary life. Will life run smoothly for such a diverse bunch? Who says nothing ever happens in Allbrite? A strong believer in making the most of our lives, Anne leads a busy life including arts classes, keep fit, swimming, reading, volunteering as well as helping to look after her four grandchildren.
