ABOUT

Hi, I'm Annaliese Morgan - an author, traveller and solo mum of two boys... Max and Woody.  The three of us are rather like the three musketeers, we have a Basset hound called Pineapple, but he is more meh than musketeer. I abandoned writing this bio in third person (as it is 'supposed to be done') because it sounded boring, unfriendly and grey trouser suit wearing; of which I am none. 

Formerly, and in a different life, I was an award winning Advanced Veterinary Surgical Nurse in the UK. I co-authored a book on veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia in 1999 for the BSAVA. In 2007 and 2009 I was sought after to write three books (NVQ2, NVQ3 and A-Z for Veterinary Nurses) to help students pass their exams. In 2008 I opened the first pet health spa in the UK. I published Desperate Housepets - Become a Chic Pet Owner Without Being a Bitch in 2014, and ran a successful blog of inspiring autobiographical vignettes entitled The Annaliese Journals - terrible title with some dodgy writing in parts but we all start somewhere. Thousands loved it and were inspired by the blogs, which is the bit that matters.

Since a child, I've always been a writer and traveller, but after recovering from a near fatal motorbike accident including over eleven operations and learning to walk again, losing my brother to suicide and divorce in 2009, I chucked my last 'F you life' in the bin and decided to level up. 

Fast forward a few soul-searching years and trekking across the planet, I combined my edginess and love for the charmed realms with writing and switched to writing light fantasy and contemporary stories, primarily for young and new adults.

I hold accredited diplomas in symbology, vampirology, ancient Egyptian magic and independent publishing. I am currently studying dragons. 

My mission is to encourage young and new adults to embrace being unique individuals and to stand out in a world of followers, not feel alone as I always did.


I hope I move you into an enchanting life. 

Annaliese
