A California-born writer, Annie Barrows (1962—) is currently a resident of North California. Her love for reading influenced her employment as a twelve-year-old librarian. A medieval historian, she graduated from the University of California and has a postgraduate degree in creative writing.
Annie Barrows has worked in both the media industry as a proofreader and in the publishing industry, where she held various entry level up to senior level editorial positions. She credits her creative writing education and the onset of motherhood as her reasons for going into full-time writing. She co-authored one book with her relative, the late Mary Ann Shaffer.
