Ann Victoria Roberts is the author of six historical novels, set mainly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the wife of a sea-captain, her writing life has often been interrupted by voyages with her husband and children; she even received news of her first novel’s acceptance while on the bridge of an oil tanker entering port! Her new book, ‘Housewife Writes Bestseller’, is a memoir, a light-hearted look back at the crazy days of the 1980s. A keen reader and researcher, Ann enjoys painting pictures with words and regards historical fiction as an enjoyable way to discover the past. Born in York, Ann now lives in Southampton UK with her Master Mariner husband.
'Dagger Lane' is a very creepy ghost story set in the present day, in a rural area just north of York. It was never published in the USA - there were issues of 'political correctness' I believe...
This book had so much going for it: compelling mystery, a paranormal twist, and an excellent writer. Hooked from the first page. Loved it. Highly recommended.
