Anne's Story

Anne Reid was born in Melbourne, Australia, the eldest of three children. Anne grew up on a dairy farm with parents who had moved from the city to experience a new lifestyle. Anne inherited a wanderlust from her mother, born in Shanghai to expat parents. Her formative years were instrumental in her want to explore the world, and her ability to embrace change.

​

Anne has a creative soul which she has expressed through her interests and various careers as an industrial designer, landscape architect and artist. She came to writing as a means of catharsis and to document her experiences as someone who found they were married to a person who felt completely wrong within their own body: eventually transitioning to live authentically as a woman.

​

Anne's first publication, She Said, She Said was released in April 2018. She lives in rural Virginia USA with her family, including three bright and creative kids, one rotund dog and a crazy cat.
