Tania Anne Crosse was born in London and has long been drawn to Dartmoor, whose stark landscape and rich industrial history she has turned into the setting for more than a dozen novels. Her Devonshire Sagas follow working-class women navigating love, loss, and survival in an era when their options were narrow and their resilience had to be substantial.

She won Saga of the Year at the RoNA Awards for The Street of Broken Dreams (2020), and her Devonshire Sagas series has earned her a loyal readership among fans of British historical fiction. The series covers a wide range of Dartmoor’s trades and communities, from harbour masters to railway workers, giving each book a distinct occupational and social setting.
