Anna's mum was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when Anna was a child www.brainhealth4ms.com is a website with easy-to-understand information about brain health for people living with MS that I developed with an educational grant.

About Anna McPartlin

Anna McPartlin an international bestselling author Anna has been writing heart-breaking yet uproariously uplifting novels since 2006.

Anna's book The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes was a Richard and Judy book club pick and in the USA it was a Barnes & Nobel Book of the Month.

In recent years she has turned her attention to scriptwriting for TV serial dramas featured on BBC UK, RTE Ireland and A&E America.

Anna’s first children’s book and a labour of love ‘Fearless Five,’ is due to be published by Bonnier Zaffre in May 2019.

Anna describes herself as a feeder and a lazy workaholic. She’s happily married to a very loud musician named Donal and is mammy to four spoiled and flatulent dogs.

Anna started out briefly as an actress and stand-up comedian but although her heart wasn’t in performance, she revels in storytelling and shining a light in dark places. Anna’s USP is in tackling difficult subjects with understanding, empathy and humour that spills onto every page.
