Hi crew!
My pen name is A. V. Davenport, my real name is Anne!
I have always loved reading and writing and studied literature in London before going on to studying business and working in the tech industry as a senior product manager. Now I am training to be a UX designer and loving the new challenge.
​
When I am not product managing and writing about pirates I am with my son who just turned 2 years old.
​
I live in a very quiet town in Norway after having spent years studying and working in London, Prague, Rome and Barcelona.
​
I have always loved writing and litterature. I studied English Litterature and Journalism for BA in London and started writing novels when I was 16. In fact, some of the stories I am working on now are reworkings of novels I wrote 15 years ago!
​
I am very interested in the creative process and how stories come to be and live on. For me, writing is almost like a mania with characters that suddenly appear in my mind and demand to be written. They are so alive that I don't even control the narrative! When this happens I am compelled to write and typically spend days with very little sleep as if there is one thing characters rarely like it's rest!
​
This is why I call myself a chaos writer. My writing flows out if a story grips me and then I have to go back and make sure everything makes sense. This means my editing process takes... a while. I can also imagine it's a joy for my editor to grapple with! (Want to meet my editor, scroll down to see her bio!)
​
I love this exciting way of living and writing and hope to bring you many fun adventures and saucy romances in the future!
​
My editor
I could not write an about me page without mentioning my wonderful editor and longtime friend Sophie Power. She is my life wife, my best friend and my hype woman.
​
Not only did Sophie edit Beyond the Horizon and save it from the mess it was in, she also wrote the blurb.
​
If anyone is looking for an editor, look no furhter!
​
She can be reached via her linkedin.
​
Sophie also also narrates audiobooks and can be reached here for enquiries.
