ABOUT ANNE'S WRITING
Anne writes stories where history, mystery, and romance entwine and every story holds a secret.
Her 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 her favorite!) It all makes for complicated living and loving ~ and page-turning reads!
Anne's latest 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.
​
If you enjoy Hallmark Christmas movies, you'll love Anne's sweet contemporary romance, A CHRISTMAS CANNOLI KISS. It's the perfect short read for snuggling by the fireplace and sipping hot cocoa by the twinkling tree lights.
Anne will release December 2026 the first in her A Starfire Cozy Mystery series entitled A VERY MISTLETOE MURDER. The series is set in a 55+ active community located in the fictitious Starfire, Georgia, in the Blue Ridge Mountains, whose town's planetarium and observatory draw tourists from all over. When the protagonist, Lottie, finds a realtor murdered in the community's model home, all eyes are on her for the crime!
