The Author

Anna M. Curren

A native of St. John's, Newfoundland, Anna grew up in an Anglo-Irish, post Victorian British culture, a fact which is deeply reflected in her dramatic and exciting, Love, above the reach of time.

Initially educated as a nurse, Anna received an RN from Montreal's Royal Victoria Hospital, a BN from Nova Scotia's Dalhousie University and an MA from Cal State University, Long Beach.

Anna started her writing career to fill a textbook void she identified while teaching at Long Beach City College. Her first text, Math for Meds, now in its 8th edition, became an immediate leader in its subject throughout the USA and Canada. Her newest text, Dimensional Analysis for Meds, is in its second edition.

Currently living in San Diego, California, Anna is an active member of St Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, and is a vested member of the 900-year-old chivalric Order of St. John of Jerusalem. She is an active member of GLSEN San Diego, a local chapter of the national Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, dedicated to providing a safe learning environment for all students in K-12 schools. She is a lover of opera and classical music, and travels and hikes extensively in many remote and civilized parts of the world.
