edit data

Though USA TODAY bestselling author Anne Renwick holds a Ph.D. in biology and greatly enjoyed tormenting the overburdened undergraduates who were her students, fiction has always been her first love. Today, she writes steampunk and gaslamp-infused historical fantasy romance, blending cutting-edge biotechnology, mad science, and 19th-century intrigue with strong heroines, formidable men, and daring villains.

Anne brings an unusual perspective to fantasy romance. A number of years spent locked inside the bowels of a biological research facility left her permanently altered.

Quotes by Anne Renwick (?)

“Amanda leaned forward in her chair, entranced by the deep, booming voice of this new professor. The light cast by the limelight lantern threw his angular face into sharp relief. What captivating facial bone structure...

Full lips formed words in a tone that made the features of a neuron sound utterly entrancing.

She rather thought she could be content to spend the entire morning listening to him read the index of her anatomy text.”
― Anne Renwick, The Golden Spider
