Author Editor Reader
Welcome
Are you looking for Anne Mateer? Guess what? You are in the right place! When I received my first publishing contract in 2010, my publisher asked me to tweak my name. So I did. To avoid confusion, I used Anne not only for my books but also in all of my writing and online life. I now have the opportunity to re-release my previously published book under my given name–and to use my real name on new projects. This has made me so happy! So whether you arrived seeking Anne or D’Ann, I’m glad you are here!
Hi, I’m
D’Ann
While I have been reading and writing for almost my whole life–and editing others for the past 15 years–these are things I do, not who I am. At the core, I am a woman trying to live her life in a manner pleasing to Jesus. Over the years, He has taken an insecure, fearful, sometimes angry girl and has turned her into a more trusting, peaceful, grace-filled woman. I want that woman to be clearly visible online, in person, and in the books I write.
