Anna Black was born and raised on the south side of Chicago. Her desire to become a published author didn't emerge until her late twenties, after close friends and family encouraged her to go for it. In November 2009, Anna earned her best-selling author title with her debut release, Now You Wanna Come Back. For several consecutive weeks, it remained number one for African American Women's Fiction on Amazon. She has since released more than two dozen novels, short stories, and collaborations. As she forges her path to success, her goal is to offer page-turning tales to readers worldwide. This award-winning author currently lives in Texas with her daughter, Tyra, who will soon graduate from Sam Houston State University. Anna is a city girl at heart, and when she is not writing romantic page-turners, she enjoys football, playing pool, and binge-watching her favorite shows and series.
