I have overtime self-published three books, A Leap of Faith (2011), An Artists Story (2013), and Pandoras Box (2017).
Whats more, I am a wife, mother, and co-director of my husband’s cooking school, a professional Michelin Star Chef…lucky me!
UK born, as Anna Jane Wilson, in my twenties, I travelled alot. I worked as fashion model, residing in Paris, France, Barcelona, Spain and London, UK.
I have lived and crossed many a turbulent water and today reside in Melbourne Australia with my family.
What makes me who I was & who I am today..
I have experienced and overcome much. Abandonment, bulimia, domestic violence, child loss, single parenting, narcissistic relations, PTSD post traumatic stress, severe endometriosis & chronic pain.
All of which make me who I was and who I am today!
In 2017, I became a wife & Mrs Anna Jane Trupp. Thereafter, my journey from ground up seemingly transitioned into an acceptable status within society.
So ironic and wrong is the concept of status acceptability, I ask myself, was I more real then, than I am today?
Welcome to my new blog! I too am in the early stages of a new book, titled, I Am, I Was.
Today in my early 50’s, I am turning my energy inwards once more towards my passions for art and writing.
I am today my own version of Anna Jane!
My Leap of Faith
My first book A leap Faith is like an autobiography written in rhythmic prose/ poetry.
At the age of thirty- three, I took my own Leap of Faith after the birth and death of my first born.
My first prose titled, Energy, which I absolutely love the vibration of, I wrote at the age of 21!
It speaks of mastering your energy!
I wrote this whilst experiencing an overbearing urge to purge after a telephone call with my father who had abandoned me.
It worked! I felt strength and resilience enter my person as the title, Energy popped into my head at is conclusion! Here it is:
A Journey into Creativity
Untrained in art or creative writing, creativity became my voice as I navigated my way through deep emotion, writing and painting intuitively away from my previous left-brain dominant existence.
This became and remains a healthy resource to me for self-expression & healing.
I speak my mind, I write my soul
Each of my prose expresses a sentiment I felt at the time of its writing, my love, my hate, my mental debate, my questions, my yearnings for love, my battle within, my view of the world, its ego, its pain, and its suffering.
They are written to inspire, heal and learn self love!
With love
Anna Jane! X
