Anna Willett

Anna Willett is a successful author of suspenseful thrillers, best known for her Lucy Hush series. Originally from the United Kingdom, Willett moved to Western Australia with her family at the age of six, an experience that greatly influenced her writing and personal growth. Growing up in an isolated place during the 1970s and 80s, Willett turned to films and books for entertainment, sparking a lifelong love of storytelling.

Despite having eclectic reading tastes, Willett is particularly drawn to dark tales and thrillers when it comes to her own writing. Her debut novel, "Backwoods Ripper," was first published in 2016, and since then, she has proven to be a prolific author, with over eight novels and a novella to her name by 2020. The Lucy Hush series, which includes "Small Town Nightmare," "Cold Valley Nightmare," and "Savage Bay Nightmare," is particularly popular among readers.

Willett's writing is informed by her experiences growing up in Western Australia, which she now considers a second home. While the region can be beautiful and safe, it can also be wild and dangerous, and Willett expertly captures these contrasts in her thrilling stories. When she's not reading or writing, Willett enjoys watching movies, walking in the bush, and dining out with her husband and children, who she lives with in Western Australia.
