Fun story, Anne: Kindred Spirits isn’t actually my first time writing an Anne of Green Gables retelling. Back in spring of 2023, I had started writing a story called Kindred Spirits, it was an AOGG retelling told through a series of blog posts written by Anne. I loved that story. And it was going really well. I was 2/3 of the way through.

Then I got burnt out and the dreaded writer’s block. I was stuck. Doubting myself and my writing didn't help much either.

But I still wanted to write an AOGG retelling, so that, paired with my desire to try my hand at writing a serial fiction (the literary form of a TV show), gave me the idea for Anne Kindred Spirits and the rest of the series.

So after a few days of going over the book and planning, I sat down and started writing. And five months later, here I am with book #1 published and book #2 ready to publish soon! It's a dream come true!

Oh, and I still love that original story, Kindred Spirits. Maybe someday I’ll go back to it. Maybe 😊

And that's the inspiration and story behind the Anne series!

Anne Book #2 Update:
I am currently publishing each "episode" on my Patreon account. I'm hoping to publish the ebook on Amazon sometime in March.
