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.

But the highlight so far? I got to meet my author hero, Joanna Penn (also known as thriller author J.F. Penn)—podcaster, author extraordinaire, and a true visionary when it comes to the future of publishing. Read more of this blog post »

Anne Bennett answered Anna Lashkarev's question: Not a question - but just FYI Porchlight is tagged to the other Anne Bennett not to your profile. I couldn't figure out a way to change it or let goodreads know. I am really LOVING these books. You're writing is spectacular. ? apparently i have to include a question mark Thanks for brining this to my attention. I thought Porchlight hadn't been brought over yet and was patiently waiting. I just reached out to Goodreads and they fixed this for me. Hope you are well. Thanks for reaching out.
