AnnaMarieAlt enjoys a passion for writing romantic fantasy fiction, building otherworldly realms. Her two careers, the military followed by civil service, thirty-five years in all, exposed her to varied cultures, races, religions, and beliefs stateside and abroad—England, Continental Europe, the Far East, the South, North, East, West, Hawaii and Kentucky, where she now resides. This exposure granted her a rounded view of the world and a host of invaluable knowledge that she now brings to her fantasy creations.

These experiences, earning a college degree, while surviving and supporting the Women’s Liberation Movement of the ‘60s and ‘70s launched her understanding of herself as a woman and a writer. She writes to convey her myriad experiences—to share the legacy of a lifetime, acknowledging and accepting that we are all flawed humans, able to rise above our defects to establish a better world for all.

For thirty-five years AnnaMarie rode and delighted in horses and the three-phase event competition. Her greatest love was her late husband—forty years spent with him. And always dogs, now and so long as she breathes, from registered German shepherds to wonderful mutts from the pound.

Life’s ambition: Fully grown, AnnaMarie wants to be just like Granny Clampett, combined with an essence of Jessica Fletcher.
