The only reason to write is that you can’t NOT write.
Writing can be a refuge in times of great joy and great sorrow–as I am learning firsthand these days as I begin my life as a widow....

Hi all and thank you so much for your kind comments about my novels!! A couple of news flashes: A CONVENIENT WIFE is a finalist for the RITA award from Romance Writers of America -- it's my third time as a finalist and I keep thinking about that old adage "Always a bridesmaid..." -- maybe this time!!! Also if you like HANNAH'S JOURNEY (out now), watch for the sequel FAMILY BLESSINGS coming in October. Right after that will come the release of the first in a trilogy of contemporary Mennonite stories set in Florida. The first book -- A STRANGER'S GIFT -- opens with a raging hurricane!!! Finally, keep an eye on my website at www.booksbyanna.com -- I am working on a major update that will also involve a new contest, so stay tuned!! Happy spring (such as it is here in Wisconsin) and I'll be in touch soon!! All best, Anna
