Anna's Bio:
Mining Engineer by day and writer the rest
of the time, Anna Hackett grew up an avid reader with no dreams of being
a writer. Her career in mining has taken her all around the world and
sparked her desire to write.As a teenager, she raided her mother's romances and her father's action adventure books, so no surprise that her stories combine both. She especially loves reading and writing short stories—the perfect intense read to fit into a busy lifestyle—and teaches the writing workshop, Short Story, Big Impact. When she isn't wearing boots and a hard hat, she's at her computer drinking too much Diet Coke and working on her stories.
Along with her husband and son, Anna lives wherever her mining career takes her. She's always delighted to hear from readers.
Beyond Princess Leia
Princess
Leia was voted 89th greatest film character of all time by Empire
Magazine. When you think “galactic heroine” a cinnamon-bun hairstyle, flowing
white dress and blaster pistol usually come to mind. Leia epitomizes the tough,
smart and dedicated sci-fi heroine.
Meet
3 other galactic heroines who can solve futuristic crimes, pilot space tugs and
close galactic trade deals. They are all smart, tough and sexy and star in the
sci-fi romance holiday anthology, A GALACTIC HOLIDAY from Carina Press.
