Annie lives with her own hero of many years. Their two children are now grown up and married, and two beautiful grandchildren have arrived. Now they share their home with “Bob” the dog and two white cats.

Annie writes across several imprints for Entangled Publishing…from Indulgence to Bliss, and Covet to Ignite. She loves creating happily ever afters in different settings.

When she is not writing, she can be found in her garden or walking on the beach…or most likely on her deck overlooking the ocean, a chilled glass of wine in hand as the sun sets.
