Anne Oliver - romance author

::March 2009

My 7th book will be out in the UK in July and titled Memoirs of a Millionaire’s Mistress. Click on Books to read an excerpt.

Some good news for a couple of my previous books. Marriage at the Millionaire’s Command is a Romantic Times Award nominee and Business in the Bedroom is a 2008 Cataromance Reviewers Choice Award Winner.

I began my 8th story in Adelaide, my home town, during a blistering heat wave and decided to use the heat as an inspiration. My hero is one of those part-time volunteer fire fighters who risk their lives every summer. But I had no idea of the horrors that would unfold at the end of that week, and that I would see those brave men and women fighting the fires in terrible detail on the TV news. Unfortunately bushfires are a part of South Eastern Australia every year.

Haven't read a Modern Heat/Sexy Sensation before? Why not give them a try! Every month they're out in the US as Presents. Visit us at our "Sensational Romance" blog to see what's happening with Modern Heat.

I grew up with a love of fairy tales: my favorite was The Little Mermaid. I was entranced with the idea that love could be such a powerful motivator that the heroine would give up her life for it. Then there’s Tennyson’s Lady of Shalott, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and in the music and movie world there’s Carousel, Phantom of the Opera and Titanic. Okay, there are some heroes too - (Who couldn’t be moved by Leonardo?)

Are you noticing a trend here? I love nothing better than a good weepie.

Being accepted by Mills & Boon is a long held ambition and has opened up a new career for me. It took me six full novels and eight years to get it right. To find out who I am and how I got there click on About Anne.
