Anna Kavanaugh is an American writer, film and broadcast producer, and journalist from the Pacific Northwest where she was raised in Oregon state, and still currently resides. Reclusive and private about her personal life, it is here she is surrounded by the wildlife and natural tranquility she loves. She is also a motivational and academic speaker, active environmentalist and conservationist, as well as a human and animals rights and welfare advocate. She is deeply committed to progressive change and promoting a kinder world. She is the President/CEO of Living Eden Media and Founder/Director of The Anna Kavanaugh Charitable Foundation. Her work has achieved recognition for its challenge to contemporary idealogies through intrepid storylines that draw debate. Noted for her experimentally driven fiction, meticulous dedication to research, and the hybridization of genre, she has been described as a boldly unique force in provocative storytelling through innovative and magnetic prose. In the early years of her career, fans affectionately assigned her work the phrase, "The Kavanaugh Klinch," as a light-hearted commonly understood terminology when reading and discussing her novels.
She retired from novel writing in 2008 to focus more energy on pursuing philanthropic work along with other creative endeavors and areas of academic research. Anna has so far authored six novels, namely, The Cord of Callows, (the original version pre-trilogy), The Bridemaker's Son, Beneath The Paper Truss, Absolution's Child, Dea'Jamerias, and Multnomah: Story of a Maiden. She has in recent years hinted she intends to return to novels full time in the future. In addition to her own work as a novelist, she has been in demand as a ghostwriter for other established authors and autobiographers, this being work from which she personally derives much fulfillment. She formally resurfaced from retirement in 2011 when commissioned to pen the expanded trilogy series for The Cord of Callows, divided namely in book volumes Provenance, CREED, and Covenant. Since then, she has branched into visual storytelling, broadcasting, and journalism.

Her writing has inspired much interest in her original novel, "The Cord of Callows," whose film rights are currently held under option and contracted to become an expanded trilogy series.
