Anne Wilkins is a former family court lawyer, and now a sleep-deprived primary school teacher in New Zealand. She writes in her spare time (which she has very little of). Her love of writing is fuelled by copious amounts of coffee, reading and hope. She is the winner of the 2023 Cambridge Autumn Short Story Festival Competition, the 2022 Writers Online Twist Short Story Competition and recently won the Halloween Frights genre for the 2023 Autumn Writing Battle. When not writing or teaching Anne enjoys a good book, a good laugh and the company of her family.
