|  Anne Hampson Anne Hampson Anne Hampson was born on November 28 in England. At age six she had two ambitions: to teach and to write. Poverty after WWI deprived her of an education and at 14 she was making Marks & Spencer's blouses at one shilling (5p) each. She retired when she married. Later, when her marriage broke up, she was homeless with £40 in her purse. She went back to the rag trade and lived in a tiny caravan. But she never forgot her two ambitions, and when Manchester University decided to trial older women she applied, and three years later had achieved one ambition, so set her thoughts on number two. In 1969, her first novel, Eternal Summer, was accepted five days from posting and she soon had a contract for 12 more. From the caravan she went to a small stately home, drove a Mercedes and sailed on the QE2. From the first book, came over 125 more written for Mills & Boon, Harlequin and Silhouette. Alan Boon (the Boon of Mills & Boon) and she came up with the title for 'Harlequin Presents' over lunch at the Ritz. She suggested to Alan that they have a historical series. He told her to write one - it was done in a month, entitled Eleanor and the Marquis under the pseudonym Jane Wilby. She has the distinction of being number one in Harlequin Presents, Masquerade and Silhouette. Many of "Presents" have been reprinted many times (some as many as 16) and are now fetching up to $55, being classed as "rare" books. She has had 3 awards, one at the World Trade Centre where she received a standing ovation from her American fans, who had come from many states just to meet her. She has written her autobiography, entitled Fate Was My Friend. She is retired, but in 2005 she wrote two romance and crime novels, both of which were published by Severn House. | ||||

And when I leave, I never want to see you again!"  Eternal Summer (1969) Marika Vaughan was a little ashamed of feeling so happy. But for the first time in her life she had not been outshone by her glittering sisters. She, Marika, was the one who would go to Greece, the land of ancient gods and eternal summer if she agreed to Nickolas Loukas's strange proposal. Filled with the excitement of anticipation, Marika never stopped to wonder if the price might be too high!  The Hawk and the Dove (1970) When Janis married Perry Caton, after a very short acquaintance, she was in no doubt as to what she was doing. It was a marriage of convenience. If he did not marry by a certain date, Perry would lose his inheritance and the family home he loved above everything else; Janis was alone in the world and penniless --so what, really, had she to lose? I n any case, Perry had made it clear that in due course they would "do the obvious thing" about the situation -- and Janis understood what he meant by that. As time went on, she began to feel that it would be no hardship to put her marriage on a normal footing -- until it began to dawn on her that perhaps that was not what Perry had meant at all . . .  When the Bough Breaks (1970) he feud between the two families of Malvern and Lingard was nearly as long-standing and bitter as that between Montague and Capulet, but it looked like coming to an end when Sara Malvern became engaged to Alex Lingard. But the engagement was broken and the feud promptly blazed into life again when Alex's brother Ralph decided to revenge himself on Sara for the hurt she had caused his mother. Ralph’s method of doing this was to trick Sara into marrying him, and then announce that, although the marriage would be only in name, he was going to ‘tame’ her, Sara who had long ago declared that no man would ever dominate her! With all these wrong feelings on both sides, how could the marriage ever succeed, and where was it going to get either of these willful people?  An Eagle Swooped (1970) Tessa had loved Paul Demetrius from the start, but from the moment she introduced him to her beautiful sister Lucinda he had had eyes for no one else. At last, unable to bear seeing the two of them together, Tessa had gone away. Now, two years later, she was home again, expecting to hear that they were married -- only to learn that they had never in fact married, that after a terrible accident in which Paul had been blinded, Lucinda had walked out on him and he was now living the life of a recluse in Cyprus. So Tessa took her courage in both hands, went out to Cyprus pretending to be Lucinda, begged Paul's forgiveness -- and married him. Would her love be strong enough to stand the strain of living such a lie? And what if Paul ever found out?  The Rebel Bride (1971)  Judy hadn't in the least wanted to marry Chris Voulis, but in the time-honored Cypriot way, the marriage had been arranged for her.

Avril, on the other hadn, was a wealthy heiress, now living in Barbados, with everything she could possibly want. Excitedly Kerry realised that all she had to do was make herself known to Avril, who would give Michelle all the help she needed and their problems would be at an end. There was just one snag; Wayne Harvey, Avril's uncle and keeper of the purse-strings, who not only refused to believe that Kerry was her sister at all, but would not be convinced that she was anything but a cheap little gold-digger!  A Thousand Stars (1972) From the eyes of a maid in love there glows the light of a thousand stars' goes the Eastern saying - and that light had been dimmed from Lisette's eyes when her fiance Dick had gone off on an extended business trip with a glamorous singer, and she was glad of the opportunity to go to the Greek island of Aegina for a while, as companion to the charming Mrs. Mallory. However, there was not only Mrs. Mallory but her nephew, the handsome, unpredictable, stern Greek Sula Condylis. Thoughts of Dick began to fade in the company of the attractive Sula, and Lisette found the light of a thousand stars beginning to shine in her eyes again.

So she had advertised for a bogus “fiance” to accompany her to the wedding — and in the devastatingly hand-some young Greek, Paul Dorkas, found exactly what she was looking for.It was only when Paul’s stern older brother Leon, domineering and with the worst possible opinion of Englishwomen and their morals, got mixed up in it all that Tara realized what deep waters she was getting into!  When the Clouds Part (1973) When Judi Langham's selfish stepsister Hannah, an up-and-coming film actress; needed a professional name, she hadn't hesitated to appropriate Judi's. Judi couldn't care less -- she had far more pressing problems on her mind; principally, how she could best get away from the unhappy atmosphere of her home. So when the Greek millionaire Vidas Theron, who had never met Hannah but for some mysterious, quixotic reason had asked her to marry him, proposed to Judi instead, Judi accepted. She didn't see what difference it would make to Vidas; Hannah would never know; and it would solve all Judi's immediate problems.

And what would happen if Vidas ever found out who she really was?

He was dictatorial and over-bearing, contemptuous of women and cynical in his outlook on life -- and he no longer had any desire to marry her. He was, in fact, every bit as masterful as Jane had once wanted him to be, and she lost no time in falling madly in love with him.
