I’m Anne Ortiz — a writer and mother who creates stories that invite people of all ages to feel inspired, understood, and seen.

Through children’s books, reflective essays, and gentle storytelling, I explore the inner world — where imagination becomes a path back to ourselves.

Fire Inside

An invitation to remember the spark you carry within.

Fire Inside is a heartfelt children’s book that gently reminds readers — young and grown — that courage, connection, and inner light are always within reach. Through warmth and imagination, the story encourages children to listen to their inner voice and trust the quiet strength already living inside them.

Meet Anne

I believe stories shape us — the ones we’re told, the ones we inherit, and the ones we’re brave enough to write for ourselves. My work blends imagination with emotional honesty, inviting children, families, and adults alike to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.

I write to explore the inner world and make space for emotion, imagination, and healing — creating stories that help people feel inspired, understood, and seen.
