Annie has always loved creating stories and her long-suffering children will testify to this. She's a spectacularly unsuccessful bookkeeper so she chose a career to keep her away from accounting. Her women's fiction books feature romance, suspense, family life, and all the spice of secrets and lies. She's published two contemporary women's fiction novels. The first is A Summer of Second Chances (prev Ripple). The second is The Arrival. The third is coming soon. There's something delicious about stories featuring gutsy female characters with a side serving of humour. This is what she likes to write and read. You'll find her shaking out her towels and emptying the sand from her shoes beside the wild coast of her home. Despite masts crashing, a windsurfer taking off with her to Timbuktu, and boat engines dying when she's far from civilisation, she loves the ocean. She loves and welcomes new readers and hopes to share her love of books with them. Her newsletter can be found on her website. It's worth it!
