ⓘ About Anna Bell

Anna Bell is a romance and chick-lit author who is best known for the novel “Millie and the American Wedding” and the “Don’t Tell the Groom” series. She has said that she is a hopeless romantic and loves nothing more than a happily ever after story. After she unsuccessfully interviewed for “The Apprentice,” she drunkenly told her husband that she would one day publish a novel. Her husband never let her forget and urged her on. Her debut novel was the bestselling “Millie and the American Wedding” that went on to sell more than 35,000 copies and topped the humor and womens’ fiction categories on Amazon. After publishing three books and writing for five years, she decided to quit her museum curator job and become a full-time author.
