Anne Charnock

Anne Charnock's debut novel, A Calculated Life, was a finalist for the 2013 Philip K. Dick Award and The 2013 Kitschies Golden Tentacle Award (Debut Novel). Her writing career began in journalism and her articles appeared in the Guardian, New Scientist, International Herald Tribune, and Geographical. She travelled widely as a foreign correspondent and spent a year overlanding through Egypt, Sudan, and Kenya.

Although Anne's education initially focused on science--she studied environmental sciences at the University of East Anglia--she later attended the Manchester School of Art, where she gained a master's degree in fine art. At the end of her art studies, she began exhibiting her work internationally, and on the quiet, she started writing fiction.

Anne is an active blogger, and she contributes exhibition reviews and book recommendations to the Huffington Post. She splits her time between Chester and London, and whenever possible, she and her husband, Garry, take off in their camper van. They have recently traveled as far as the Anti-Atlas Mountains in southern Morocco, and they next plan to drive from London to Athens.
