Anna Richland is the winner of Romance Writers of America's 2015 RITA Award® for Best Romance Novella, HIS ROAD HOME. She lives with her quietly funny Canadian husband and two less quiet children in a century-old house in Seattle. Like the heroine of FIRST TO BURN, Anna joined the army to pay tuition, a decision that led to a career spanning four continents and unending story ideas. Now she divides her time between writing and attempting to sort her family's toppling piles of stuff. The stuff is winning. She donates a portion of her book proceeds to two charities: the Fisher House Foundation, which provides housing for families of wounded soldiers in the US and Great Britain, and Doctors Without Borders, which delivers emergency medical care in more than sixty crisis zones world-wide.
