Becoming a published author has been a cherished life-long dream for Anne Harvey, who today lives in Victoria with her canine family – M, a pedigree cocker spaniel and Ollie, a mixed-breed rescue from The Lost Dogs Home.

When asked to describe what inspired her first book, ‘DRAGON IN THE SOUP TUREEN’, Anne suggests mixing a heaped spoonful of love for domestic animals, a passion for all things literary and a fascination for mythical creatures, such as dragons, with a liberal dose of quirky imagination and a dash of modern scientific pursuits.
