Anna Downes - 'I Write What I Want To Read!'

Anna Downes grew up in Sheffield, UK. She studied drama at Manchester before winning a place at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and moving to London to pursue an acting career that included credits in EastEnders, Casualty, Holby City, and Dalziel and Pascoe, as well as a long-running stage production of The Dresser in London’s West End. Anna’s bestselling debut novel, The Safe Place, was published simultaneously in Australia, the US and the UK in mid-2020. The Shadow House is her keenly anticipated second book. Anna now lives on the Central Coast with her husband and two children. With the release of 'The Shadow House', Ben sat down with Anna to discuss the joy of terrifying readers, letting her stories breathe, ecovillages and more. *Producer's Note: Due to our team being in social isolation, the sound quality is more variable.
