Mildred Grieveson began to write down stories in her childhood years. The first novel that she actually finished, Caroline (1965), was also her first book to be published. Her novel, Leopard in the Snow (1974), was developed into a 1978 movie.[1]

[edit] Biography

[edit] Personal life

Mildred Grieveson born on October 10, 1946 in England. She had written all through her infant and junior years and on into her teens, the stories changing from children's adventures to torrid gypsy passions. Her mother used to gather these up from time to time, when her bedroom became too untidy, and disposed of them![2]

Grieveson married young and became a housewife. When she was newly married, and her daughter was just a baby, she juggled her household chores and scribbled away in exercise books every chance she got.[3] Now, she has two adult children, a son and a daughter, and two grandchildren, Abigail and Ben.[2]

[edit] Writing career

Caroline as Anne Mather

Mildred Grieveson always wanted to write, for years she wrote for her own pleasure. Until her husband suggested that she ought to send one of her stories to a publisher, but she had never finished one of her stories. With her husband's encouragement, she began again, and finally finished a manuscript, Caroline. In 1965, this became her first published book, signed as Anne Mather.[2]

In 1973, she became a launch author for the new Harlequin Presents line of category romance novels. Harlequin Presents books were more sensual than the previous line, Harlequin Romance, under which Anne Mather had been published. She was chosen to be a launch author because she, along with Violet Winspear and Anne Hampson were the most popular and prolific of Harlequin's authors.[4]

Her novel, Leopard in the Snow (1974), was developed into a 1978 movie.[1]
