Meet the Author

I’m Annie Bijou — a writer, nap enthusiast, and lover of all things cozy with a twist of tropical.

I was born and raised in Durham, North Carolina, but I now call Buffalo, NY home (yes, I’ve learned to embrace snow… somewhat). When I’m not immersed in a fictional universe, I’m serving as Creative Director for Parklife Communications — where I channel storytelling into brand magic.

My writing centers on strong, complicated women and the tangled threads of human connection. Expect themes like infidelity, loyalty, loss, and sometimes, a little murder. I love painting settings so vivid they feel like characters themselves — whether it’s a salty beach breeze or a dystopian city on the edge of collapse.

I live for Indian food, rainy afternoons, and puppies with big personalities. I avoid dark chocolate and sad movies like the plague. If you also believe in the power of naps, expressive dialogue, and avoiding pretentiousness at all costs — welcome. You’re my kind of reader.
