Pseudonym of US author Anne Holmberg (1938- ), mostly of historical romances under several names, also including Kate Holmes and Anne Woodward. She is of sf interest for several romantic Space Operas, including A Distant Star (1993), in which a colony planet at the end of the Long Night after empire is under observation pending its return to galactic civilization; All's Fair (1994), in which sexually-involved traders compete for a new product; and Far Star (1995), whose protagonists make do on a newly colonized planet (see Colonization of Other Worlds). Hidden Heart (1996) is a Planetary Romance where romance and dynastic sexual politics may fatally collide. [JC]
