Celia Anderson is a British author who spent years as a primary school teacher and assistant head before turning to writing full time. Her first novel, 59 Memory Lane, was published in 2019 and became a top ten bestseller. It introduced the Cornish village of Pengelly, where the residents have a few secrets that go beyond the usual small-town gossip. Anderson followed it up with The Cottage of Curiosities in 2020, which brought new characters to the same village setting.
After the Pengelly books, Anderson moved to standalone novels. The Secret Gift of Lucia Lemon and Coming Home to Mistletoe Cottage continued her warm, character-driven style. In 2024, she began a new direction with Life Begins at 50!, the first of several books focused on women in their later years making fresh starts. Anderson is a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association and now publishes with Boldwood Books.
