Anna Dillon is the pen name of best selling Irish writer, Michael Scott. In a recent interview, he explained where and how the Anna Dillon name came about.
"Anna Dillon is probably my best known pen name. In 1986 I approached my publishers with an idea for a big historical series I wanted to do. They loved the idea, but felt that it would be better coming out under a pen name. They were right of course.
Anna Dillon's Seasons series was a huge success, and over the years the "Anna Dillon" titles have consistently outsold "Michael Scott" titles. Everything about the books - the style of writing, the subject matter, is completely different from everything else I write."
