WELCOME
Thanks for stopping in. This site is dedicated to anyone and everyone who reads and loves fiction, writing, or editing. So what will my site do for you? Well! Here are just a few of the benefits awaiting you in these pages:
Want help learning how to write a novel? (You ARE brave, aren't you!) Visit the Writing Tips page. There you can check out books to help you learn how to write novels of many genres (Christian, romance, suspense, contemporary, you name it!), as well as a number of links to writers' conferences and other helpful sites.
Looking for a great read? Why not start with one of my Books? You'll find real-life issues, true-to-life and likeable characters, honesty, adventure, and humor.
Interested in becoming an editor? I don't blame you. It's a great career. But it's also hard to break in. On my Be An Editor page, you'll find help, both in understanding exactly what kind of editing you want to do and how to go about getting started.
Looking for insights into what makes writers tick? Want inside info and glimpses behind the scenes of Christian publishing? Then the Latest News page for you. No, you won't find gossip. But you will find thoughts and insights to help you understand writers and the mysterious world of publishing.
If you want to get to know me (and some of my novelist buddies) a little better, check out the Author Fun and Photo pages.
If you're one of the many, many readers who want to know where you can find Annie's and Lori's color chart (from Kaleidoscope Eyes), this is the spot for you. Also, check here if you want to learn more about Synaesthesia, the fascinating condition Annie (and my friend, Lori) has, where the senses get their signals crossed, and people actually taste things like color and music, or see colors in letters and numbers, and all sorts of amazing things.
Last but not least, have a question that's been bugging you about writing, publishing, or editing? Send it through my Contact page, and know you'll get a response from someone who's been in the publishing world for over 26 years.
As an added bonus, you can also join my mailing list to make sure you know the latest and greatest when it happens.
So come wander a while. Have fun, and remember, there's wonder everywhere. All you have to do is look.
