Featured books
Begin with a question. Follow where it leads.
Anne’s two current books approach psychic and metaphysical experience from different angles: an intimate memoir and a practical reader’s guide.
Meet Anne
A city writer with a shoreline soul.
Raised on Staten Island and long at home in Greenwich Village, Anne has written and edited across publishing, education, and entertainment. She is happiest by the water, where the noise falls away and the next question can arrive.
An open invitation
Bring the questions you cannot ask just anywhere.
The Soul Salon is Anne’s informal online gathering for respectful, lively conversation about metaphysical ideas. Newcomers, seasoned seekers, skeptics, and good listeners are all welcome.
