ABOUT ANNE
Anne Armistead crafts stories where history, mystery, and romance entwine.
ABOUT MY WRITING
I write love stories set in the past and present. My female protagonists, while strong and talented, have struggles to confront in their lives, which include falling for guys with troubled pasts (yes, the "wounded hero trope" is my favorite!) It all makes for complicated living and loving ~ and page-turning reads!
My newest release is a time travel fantasy A TRYST IN PARIS. It has been selected as a 2024 Georgia Romance Writers Maggies Finalist, a Killer Nashville Top Pick, a Romance Writers of America Romance Through the Ages Finalist, and Georgia Author of the Year romance category finalist.
​
​WITH KISSES FROM CÉCILE, co-authored with Jan Agnello was awarded the 2020 Georgia Independent Author of the Year Award in historical fiction and the Silver Award from Literary Titan.
​
My sweet contemporary romance is
A CHRISTMAS CANNOLI KISS, part of The Wild Rose Press Christmas Cookies Series.​​
My works-in-progress include another sweet contemporary Christmas romance and my FIRST-EVER COZY MYSTERY! Its working title is MISTLETOE AND MURDER, set in a 55+ active retirement community ~ a little too active, when the protagonist, Lottie, finds a realtor murdered in the community's model home and all eyes are on her for the crime!
A BIT OF BIO
​
​​I earned my English literature degree from the University of Georgia and MFA in Creative Writing from Spalding University. I am a member of the Atlanta Writers Club and the Georgia Romance Writers. My husband and I enjoy spending time with our two grown daughters and their families and totally spoiling our three grandsons and four grand-dogs.
​​
I am on the advisory board of The Feeney Legacy Project and support its mission to advocate calling 911 and administering CPR to save lives of anyone in medical distress. Visit the website feeneylegacyproject.org to learn more about this non-profit charity and how you can be involved in saving lives.

When I am not writing, volunteering, or babysitting, I'm reading the latest cozy mystery, taking nature walks, supporting charities, and watching BBC television.
