edit data

Anne makes her home in Connecticut with her wonderful and ever-so-patient partner—a lifelong reader, writer, and curious student, Anne hopes to create exciting, multi-dimensional characters and worlds with a queer sensibility. She is the author of the Dead Generations series and the recently released Worth the Risk.

When she’s not dreaming of or writing romantic suspense thrillers, you’ll find Anne reading (biographies being her favorite), and whenever she can, spending time outdoors in nature. Anne also enjoys baking, listening to podcasts, discovering new music, and exploring museums, bookstores, and flea markets.
