Anita Burgh

Anita Burgh is a well-established author, born in Gillingham, Kent, who began her writing career in her late forties and has since published 23 novels, along with numerous articles and short stories. She has a keen interest in exploring themes of class, rejection, and wealth in her work, which are often set in the modern world or in historical times, such as the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Her latest series, The Cresswell Inheritance trilogy, is an example of her ability to weave stories that captivate readers and transport them to different time periods.

Burgh's life has been as colorful as her writing, having spent her childhood in Lanhydrock, Cornwall, and later living in Greece and France. These experiences have influenced her work and provided her with a wealth of inspiration for her characters and settings. Now in her 70s, she continues to write novels, teach and mentor other writers, and work on her autobiography and a series on writing novels. Burgh's dedication to her craft is unwavering, and she is a shining example of an author who never retires.

Despite her many accomplishments, Burgh remains humble and approachable, and is known to arrive in either a Rolls or a clapped out Mini, depending on the occasion. She currently resides in the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire with her partner and two dogs, in what she describes as the friendliest and most caring community she has ever lived in. Her passion for writing and her willingness to share her knowledge with others make her a valuable asset to the literary community.
