The writing journey 

From her little teak desk in Northcote, Victoria, Anne writes contemporary fiction about women who are stuck in life and the extraordinary ways they shake themselves loose. They’re always engaging and sometimes funny with reluctant adventures, sexy escapades and friendships that uplift.

In stolen moments she is undertaking a Bachelor of Creative Writing at Deakin University. Her hobbies include referring to herself in the third person, reminding her children that cleaning is not her hobby, and being adored by a husband who is too good for her. Oh, and wine. She likes wine.

Returning to Adelaide is her first novel, a contemporary women’s fiction about a wife and mother who, when her seemingly-perfect life unravels, must follow her passions and find the courage to build something better.

Anne’s second novel is already in the making.

Here’s Anne’s bio from her website:  

It’s taken Anne half her life to heed the writer’s heart that beats within her but now everything she does is a step to that rhythm. A former award-winning milliner, promotional model, wanderluster, television extra, accessories designer, vintage market organiser, sales and marketing maven and creator of human life – Anne now chalks up her kaleidoscopic past to research and character development.
