Hello! Welcome to my website.
I am Anastasia Bishop and
I love to write and tell stories.
Here you can find out more about me, my books
and stay up to date with any news.
About my Books.
My books are about strong female characters who find themselves in difficult circumstances or predicaments ( sometimes several at once! ). In some cases these might even be self-inflicted.
I try to create relatable characters and situations that I hope my readers will empathise with. I am interested in what makes people tick and try to get into the head of my characters. How might they be feeling and what might be going through their heads? What dilemmas are they facing?
All my characters have one thing in common - they are tough and in the end they succeed against all the odds, demonstrating their determination and the support they have of the other women ( and men! ) around them.
Dear Emily.
Four Women. Four Secrets.
Out NOW in Paperback & Ebook format!
When forty-somethings Emily, Hannah, Sarah and Jodie come together to celebrate a special event, it tests their friendship more than ever before. It soon becomes clear that they don’t know each other as well as they thought, and they are hiding secrets about their lives, past and present.
Then tragedy strikes and it forces them to assess what is important in their own lives and those of each other.
This book highlights that even as we get older, we all have fears and insecurities, but that true friendship endures beyond our misgivings.

A loose sequel to Dear Emily.
Forty-something Emily is struggling to forget her traumatic past. By relocating to Southern Spain, she hopes to put it behind her. She finds a job and place to call home, meets the charismatic Fabian and almost dares to consider a new start.

A loose sequel to the author's previous novel, this book follows the fortunes of Emily as she tries to rebuild her life after tragedy. A perfect light read for the summer months about the power of human relationships, love, hope and second chances.
