I am truly blessed to live by the beach on the east coast of Australia. I am following my lifelong dream of writing and discovering that readers love reading my stories as much as I love writing them is awesome. It's what keeps me at my desk each day when the garden and the beach are calling to me!
My inspiration comes from the natural beauty of our Australian landscapes and I'm passionate about raising awareness of the need to preserve the pristine areas that surround us. Come on over and listen to this podcast. to find out more about me. http://bit.ly/2AnTEDL I also enjoy working with aspiring authors and working on social media to raise awareness of Australia Rural Fiction. Along with Darry Fraser, I am a co-founder of the quickly growing Australian and New Zealand Rural Fiction website and Facebook group. https://www.australianruralfiction.com/ AWARDS Book of the Year (Whitsunday Dawn) Ausrom Readers’ Choice Awards 2018.

Browse my books on the books tab above... or here https://www.annieseaton.net/books.html Each winter, my husband and I leave the beach to roam the remote areas of Australia for story ideas and research. In winter last year, we explored Alice Springs and Ruby Gap. In 2021 and 2022, we travelled to North Queensland for the winter. we went as far as Cooktown and Karumba. My love of books, reading and writing, began even before I started school and I discovered libraries! My skills were developed in "composition" classes during primary school and continued throughout the completion of an English and History degree. I am delighted that my books are now available in bookstores AND on library shelves! I love to travel and you can find two of my travel blogs here: Outback Australia...an eight-year journey Tuscany 2014 You can contact me at annie@annieseaton.net AWARDS Book of the Year (Whitsunday Dawn) Ausrom Readers’ Choice Awards 2018.
