“Anne Rollins” is the pen name of children’s book author Teresa Traver. She wrote her first novel at the age of thirteen. She wrote it out by hand in a series of spiral-bound notebooks, and learned a valuable lesson: writing on a computer does not cramp your hand as much as using a pen!
Thirty years later, she now writes Regency romance and fantasy romance. As an #actuallyautistic author, her books tend to feature introverted, bookish, and neurodivergent characters.
She lives in Northern California with her family, her pets, and an enormous collection of books. She is equally a fan of Diana Wynne Jones, Jane Austen, and Patricia Wrede—authors whose writing influenced her Regency fantasy novels.
Her first novel, THE SOLITARY ROSE (2023, The Wild Rose Press), is an open door Regency romance with light fantasy elements. Her next novel, SECRETS AT SELWYN CASTLE, is a closed-door Christmas romance. As the first volume of her new Beau Monde Secrets series, it will be released by Dragonblade in 2024. It may appeal to fans of Abigail Wilson, Mimi Matthews, or Kate Archer.
