Besides reading and taking walks with Her husband, Larry, and their adorable mini-Goldendoodle, Honey Bun, one of Annette’s hobbies is satisfying her legendary sweet tooth. If you see a “Hot Now” sign shining brightly at a Krispy Kreme in Charleston, you may just find her there. While traveling to visit family or exploring new destinations, you can bet she will try delectables from local bakeries like Cupcake Cuties in Winston Salem, North Carolina, or one of the many locations for Smallcakes Cupcakery. If you have favorite bakeries, she would love for you to email her about them!
Annette’s newest novella, It Had to Be You, is a World War II romance set in Charleston and featured in the anthology A Holy City Christmas: Charleston Holiday Tales. Her previous novella, Following His Plans, is one of several stories in the anthology Charleston Light: Stories Inspired by Sullivan’s Island Lighthouse.
Annette’s goal in writing inspirational fiction and reflections is to share the message of hope found through the love of our heavenly Father.
“Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything is worthy of praise, think about these things.” Philippians 4:8 NRSVCE.
