Beginner’s Pluck: Anna Smith

The daughter of Irish immigrants, Anna has travelled the world as chief reporter at the Record in Glasgow.

“In my 30 years I covered Kosovo, Somalia and Romania, as well as the underbelly of life in Glasgow. I wouldn’t swap my life, but I woke up at 43, and felt, Christ! Was that it?”

After two coming of age tales, Ann has exploded onto the crime scene.
