Born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England, Anita Bond attended Welholme Junior School and Havelock Grammar before working for five years at the Grimsby Telegraph. In 1970 she left England to live in Germany, where she resided for the next 17 years.

In 1987, she moved to Spain and started to write professionally. Anita has had various short stories and articles published in British magazines and newspapers; she is, however, more widely known amongst the English-speaking community of Spain as a journalist, columnist and feature writer working for the local English-language newspapers.

Anita Bond is single, resides in Calpe, Spain, and loves dogs. Savages and Saints is her first novel.
