Anna McCallie was born in Boston and moved to the small town of Stilwell, Kansas, as a child. She has a B.A. in Arabic from Harvard University and an M.A. in International Environmental Policy from the Fletcher School, yet has never managed to have a job related to either of those subjects. She lives in London, and when she's not writing, she can be found solving crossword puzzles, badgering her friends to go to pub quizzes, and watching a tremendous amount of football.
