A lifelong resident of California, Anne moved to the Bootheel in Southeastern Missouri in 2017. It was there, after years of writing that her style took form. She is the author of "A California Girl Meets the Bootheel", "Walking with John XXIII", numerous poems, and vignettes on observations of life around her. A lifelong Catholic, her writing now takes a distinctive spiritual direction as she, like many, tries to make sense of a very confused world.
