Bio

Anna stares at a computer screen, whether working, writing, or editing. It is so fun to hang out with her grandson’s children or walk outside. But burning skin quickly makes it difficult to spend too much time outdoors.

Anna carves time to write and comes from a family of writers; her mom, grandmother, and several other family members are engaged in writing.

Anna cares about hope, love, encouragement, listening, parenting, individuality, and God’s grace. She looks for ways to inspire hope and listen to hurting women.

What’s the feeling you’re hiding from the world?

Anna likes to study the art of writing, learn to edit her work, and explore creating an author platform. When she isn’t at the computer writing or editing, she discusses plots with any one of her children. Anna asks the advice of her cats. “They have good ideas,” she says. The world around her offers a variety of sinister plots, even if it is just someone waiting for the bus.
