Annie is a speculative fiction author who enjoys blending the line between science fiction and fantasy. She’s always lived in a fantasy world of her own making, and it was a natural transition to putting those worlds onto paper. Her pieces have been featured in Curated Micro Fiction and Writer’s Games 2024 Anthology and will appear in the upcoming 2025 Anthology as well. Her story, “The Shape of Time,” was shortlisted for the Hammond House 2024 International Literary Prize and included in their short story anthology. 

With a degree in Applied Linguistics, she’s been an editor since 2021 and a professional beta reader since June 2024. She's still working away on her novel manuscripts, and looks forward to the day one of them is ready for publication.

You can find Annie…somewhere out there. She’s filled with wanderlust and her feet rarely seem to stop moving. When she stays in one place long enough though, you might catch her laughing with friends, drinking coffee, reading a book, listening to bluegrass music, cross-stitching, playing tabletop board games, or cuddling a cat. Any cat will do, but her favorites are her two purrbabies, Nickel and Penny.
