I had my first book signing for “The Mind of a Heart” last weekend here at Buttonwood Village in Punta Gorda, the community that I live in. It was so nice to see so many familiar faces come out to support me and to meet new ones. The morning was a great success!
Thank you to those of you who came out to support me and purchase a copy of my new novel. I can’t wait to hear the reviews! And a special thanks to my Dad who came out to support his daughter.
Wishing you love and light,

“Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn, taking us on the journey of a lifetime. We may not end up where we dreamed, but we’ll always end up where we belong.”
~Anne Dennish~
I wrote this quote at what seems like a lifetime ago, but I’m glad I was reminded of it because it’s true and so fitting of my life right now.
I can honestly say that I’m not where I dreamed I’d be, but rest assured, I’m in the place that I belong.
I’m in the place I need to be to take care of my parents, the place to learn patience in adapting to a new area to live in, a place to learn more about myself and the many changes I’m going through, and a place to write my books in.
I’m where I belong and I’m making the best of it.
I believe that our lives are a series of “unexpected turns,” and it’s up to us to step up and be equal to the challenge.
I do believe that we’ll all end up where we dream to be, we just need to learn the lessons that life is teaching us and change our perspective on where we are at this moment.
We all end up where we belong…
And I believe that in time we’ll all end up where we dreamed.
Be grateful to be in the place that you belong.

It’s a quiet Monday here in Southwest Florida. I’m sitting on my lanai enjoying a balmy, but cool breeze along with a glass of wine. As I sit here I can’t help but think of the last few days and where I am today.
Last week I was doing the final edits on my new novel, “The Mind of a Heart,” then approving the manuscript and cover. In less than 3 days the process was done and now I wait until it’s ready to be released to the public for purchase.
My heart is full. It’s full of love, gratitude and belief that with hard work a dream can turn into a reality. This novel is truly my baby and today I’m excited that she’s been born and is getting ready to meet the world.
I wrote this novel many years ago and it wasn’t until over a year ago that I decided to rewrite it and bring it to life. Some things take time in life and this book was one of them. It wasn’t meant to be published years ago, it was meant to be published now.
This afternoon I was in awe of what I accomplished last week and sat staring at this beautiful book that I wrote. “She” waited a long time to come to life and there she is, a life of her own, one that I hope that you’ll love as much as I loved writing it.
If there’s one thing that I’ve learned in my life it’s this: You don’t need to write a novel, have a successful business or make a million dollars.
Your life is a spectacular gift that you were given, no matter what it hands you or where it takes you.
Your life is important, your life matters and your life makes this world a better place.
And this I know to be true because your life is important to me.
Wishing you love and light,

I am so excited and grateful to announce that my new novel, “The Mind of a Heart” is in the publication process and will be released soon! I’m also incredibly grateful to my very dear friend, Bill Scannell, for designing the cover for this book! He had the vision of this cover long before I did and am so thankful for his talent, hard work and dedication to my book!
Here’s a look at what the book is about:
~ “The Mind Of A Heart” is the story of a married woman who finds herself back in touch with her old high school sweetheart. After several months of emailing each other they meet in person and their love affair begins.
As the affair continues, she can’t help but remember the memories of the innocence of two 17 year olds falling in love at the Jersey Shore and planning a future together.
When her husband loses his job and is hired by another company, she becomes entangled in a web of lies and deceit because her husband’s new boss is her high school sweetheart.
A life that she simply “existed” in was about to change and it was about to change forever .~
Thank you to all of you who have supported me throughout my writing career and I hope that you will enjoy this novel as much as I enjoyed writing it.
I will let you know when the official launch date is!
Wishing you love and light,
~Anne Dennish~
“Overwhelmed and bittersweet” are two words that have been in my vocabulary these last few weeks and there’s a good reason as to why.
My parents are moving out of our childhood home and I’ve been spending much of my weekends and days after work packing them up and selling their furniture. It’s bittersweet finding so many memories of my childhood and selling off furniture that we all spent time around as a family. The packing can be overwhelming and it’s bittersweet in knowing that this house was our connection to the Jersey Shore.
I will be leaving my job at the end of this month and have decided to spend a few months in Delaware to promote my new book and write the sequel. In addition to that I will continue working with the publisher on the final edits for my new novel, “The Mind of a Heart ” which should be ready for release in the next few weeks. I’m also working on creating a weekly podcast and motivational/inspirational virtual group.
I’m okay with all these changes but they do mean that I will be moving away from my beloved Jersey Shore in May. I’ve lived here all of my life and can’t imagine being so far away from the beach and the local towns that I love but it’s time for change. These changes are overwhelming at times and most definitely bittersweet.
I have to remind myself to enjoy what time I have left at the Jersey Shore and focus on the excitement of the next chapter in my life.
And I am very excited about where this next adventure will take me.
I’m saying goodbye to feeling overwhelmed and hello to feeling grateful for the “bittersweet” because that means that it all meant the world to me.
And for that I am grateful.
Wishing you love and light,
~Anne Dennish~
