edit data

Anne Bennett writes clean women’s fiction with heart, set against the turquoise waters and sun-warmed breezes of her favorite place on earth — Bonaire. An avid scuba diver and ocean enthusiast, she loves weaving island charm, underwater wonders, and a touch of personal discovery into every story.
When she’s not writing about strong women finding their way, Anne works part-time as a dental hygienist and full-time as a beach dreamer. She lives in North Carolina with her husband and cats, Darby and Piper.
“People protect what they love,” she says, and through her books she hopes to inspire a little more love for the ocean.
