WELCOME!
Welcome to my website. It's crammed with information about my books, as well as personal information and photos and you can read the first chapters of all my books. Do take time to have a look around.
I'm published mainly as Anna Jacobs, writing historical sagas and modern novels alternately. Some books are set in the UK, others in Australia, or both countries. (My characters will insist on travelling around!) I used to write fantasy novels as Shannah Jay. They're available again as ebooks.
I’ve now had over 50 novels published and have loved writing every one of them. I'm currently working on #4 of The Traders. #2 'The Trader's Sister' will be published at the end of April. There's always a new story to tell.
NEWS
May 2012 - Wonderful news! 'The Trader's Wife' has been shortlisted for the Australian Romantic Book of the Year award (Romantic Elements section). I'm so thrilled. It's a major award given by the Romance Writers of Australia. I shan't find out who won till August, but till then I'm dreaming!
26 APRIL: 'The Trader's Sister' (#2 of series) has been published in hardback and in trade paperback in Australia and New Zealand
MARCH: 'Winds of Change' was published, a modern relationships set in Australia and England
SERIES
If you want to know which books are in each series, click on 'Series' on the blue menu line above. All the series are listed there. If you want to read about a specific book, click on Book LIst above and go to the section you want. You can also read the first chapter of each book.
There is a separate page on this site for each book, showing the cover and giving details you won't find elsewhere about how I got the idea or did the research. You get to these by clicking on Booklist at the top and finding the book in which you're interested.
If you watch the Latest Books section on the right, you’ll see the covers for my recent publications. The covers change about every 15 seconds.
My books come out first as hardbacks, then later as paperbacks, large print and audiobooks. Most of them are now out in ebook format as well.
Some of the early Anna Jacobs books (historical romances and modern novels) also my Shannah Jay fantasy novels, have been out of print for a while, but these are now available for sale as ebooks. You can buy them on this website or on line at various other venues, such as Amazon.
