Anabelle is orignally from Montréal, Canada and is currently living in Victoria. She speaks and writes fluent French as well as English. She loves to write about a variety of topics, from home decor and social media to books and sex.
She currently doesn't have a pet, but she's working on that. In the meantime, she's learning to write stories and hopefully novels so that she will one day see her name in print. She tends to think her life is pretty boring, so she fills it with reading books about people whose lives are so much more interesting.
Anabelle is also an avid knitter and crocheter and loves to drink wine. Lots of it.
