Anya Seton
Anya Seton (January 23, 1904 – November 8, 1990) was the pen name of Ann Seton Chase, an American author of historical romances, or as she preferred they be called, "biographical novels".
Career
Anya Seton's historical novels were noted for how extensively she researched the historical facts, and some of them were best-sellers: Dragonwyck (1944) and Foxfire (1950) were both made into Hollywood films. Three of her books are classics in their genre and continue in their popularity to the present: Katherine, the story of Katherine Swynford, the mistress and eventual wife of John of Gaunt, and their children, who were the direct ancestors of the Tudors, Stuarts, and the modern British royal family; Green Darkness, the story of a modern couple plagued by their past life incarnations; and The Winthrop Woman about the notorious Elizabeth Fones, niece and daughter-in-law of John Winthrop, the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Most of her novels have been recently republished, several with forewords by Philippa Gregory. In 2003, Katherine was chosen as the 95th best British novel of all time in a nationwide poll conducted by the BBC.

Once And Again
by: Anna SteinI get rid of everything
And clear you out of me
You oughta know
I've been trying not to surrender
When I stare in your eyes
We got along
You got away
I crawled alone while you mingle in your pace
But everytime you show up around
We may keep it right away
I swore I wouldn't let you back here
And you've been replaced into me
But that's a pretty lie in practice
So here we go again baby
Hopeless I give a try but they ain't like you
We should wonder why we got through
I can't regret the way I'm addicted
So here I'm again running into
You, you're never right on time
And you've got me so confused
Don't settle down
Oh wanna throw it all away
Unless you're coming
I won't need to go insane
I know you care
You keep on acting just so stuck
In the lies you sell around
We're gonna agree no it's no use
We may keep on running through
I swore I wouldn't let you back here
And you've been replaced into me
But that's a pretty lie in practice
So here we go again baby
Hopeless I give a try but they ain't like you
We should wonder why we got through
I can't regret the way I'm addicted
So here I'm again running into
All the memories
That we shared together
Breaking all the pain
And we are still on the edge
Of getting into the madness
And start all over again
And now the last of us you try to save
And leave a lot to be desired
In short you couldn't make us stronger
You better go
You're so damn foolish
If I had only taken as a joke
If I had only known more about you
