Anita Haas is an award-winning Canadian writer and English teacher based in Madrid.
We speak to her about her experiences living in Spain, her inspiration for her short stories and poems, and her latest venture, a children's book which she has written and illustrated herself. She also tells us what is like to live, work and write with achromatopsia, a visual condition that prevents her from seeing colours.
You can order her latest book
