In anticipation of this year’s National Association of Science Writers (NASW) Science Writers 2025 conference next month in Chicago, I reached out to fellow NASW member and award-winning science journalist
Here, learn about Anne’s books, from a collection of stories about the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters and the toll of smoking on their lives, to an insider’s guide on relocating to Atlanta, a “chosen city” for so many.

A multi-genre author, Anne wrote her first book, a health memoir, after losing her mother to smoking, and spotlighted the stories of 19 mothers and daughters.
Her second book, a guide on moving to Atlanta, included interviews with more than 40 residents and community leaders on what makes the ATL such a magnet for millennials and change makers, entrepreneurs and creatives.
Stay tuned for her breakout historical fiction novel, Torrential, an unlikely love story set in her hometown of Dayton,
Ohio, before and after a devastating flood.
