Anan was born in northern India and had his first short story published in an Indian newspaper at fourteen. Natalie grew up on the west coast of Norway and has always been fascinated with the country's period of occupation. She is a prolific historical romance writer in her native language and more recently published two contemporary Norwegian-set romances in English. The Silent Resistance is their first collaboration in English.
