edit data

Annette Hart was born at home in Surrey, England. With brief intervals and plenty of holidays in Devon, she grew up and went to school in Epsom, Surrey (home of the Derby). She took a degree in English at Exeter University which she then followed with a postgraduate teaching certificate from Rolle College, Exmouth. Having lurked in deepest, darkest Surrey for many years working as a primary school teacher, she has now returned to her ancestral county of Devon. She lives in her dream cottage with several cats, some children and a husband.
