Anne Easter Smith will be a speaker at this year’s Newburyport Literary Festival.
Anne is a native of England who has lived in the United States for thirty-three years. Her love of English history goes back to age ten, when the British education system mandated history as part of the curriculum through graduation. She grew up with London on her doorstep and has walked much of the countryside described in her first novel, A Rose for the Crown, which was inspired by her fascination with Richard III. Anne began her writing career as a freelancer for a small monthly publication in Plattsburgh, New York, in 1980. From 1986 until 1995, she was the features editor of the daily newspaper in Plattsburgh. A Rose for the Crown was published in March 2006 by Simon & Schuster and has been reprinted three times for a total of more than 50,000 copies. Her second book, Daughter of York , is now on the bookshelves after launching at the Jabberwocky in February, and she has a contract for two more books, all with Touchstone Books, a division of Simon & Schuster.
