ANNIE Chandler-Cummings has always been a writer but it took until her 60th year to publish her first novel.
Now the Butler author has self-published three books and plans to write “many more” since semi-retiring from her profession as a teacher of students with special needs.
“I love to travel and go on cruises and this is where I find wonderful inspiration for my writing,” she said.
Chandler-Cummings recently took her first steps on the promotional trail, with a book signing at Dome Café in Butler.
This included the first two novels in the Flower Quartet, A Daisy in the Field and A Lily in the Valley, with the third, A Rose in the Garden, due for release in October.
“Though they are of the romance genre, the stories are about four strong women over three generations in the one family, who overcome some great difficulties in their lives,” she said.
“The stories have readers feeling a gamut of emotions and are set in a fictional town just south of Perth.”
