Get swept away by the riveting and romantic World War I saga with Windswept, the book that started it all. Perfect for readers who love The Nightingale and The Alice Network. A "gripping adventure" (Kirkus Reviews).
A complete series of interconnected standalone contemporary romances set in fictional Appalachian town Brandywood, Maryland. Brimming with swoony small town charm, found family, and sizzling heat.
Fall in love around the world with the Wanderlust series—steamy, laugh-out-loud romances set in unforgettable destinations. Each book is a standalone escape packed with heart, heat, and just the right kind of chaos.
Annabelle McCormack writes historical romantic fiction, fantasy, and contemporary romance packed with sprawling adventures, epic love, and soulmates who just can’t stay away from each other (even when the world is falling apart). If there’s a sweeping love story with high stakes and deep emotions, she’s probably writing it—or at least dreaming about it while chasing down her next cup of coffee.
When she’s not wrangling words, she’s wrangling five home-schooled kids, a couple of dogs, and an unreasonable amount of books in Maryland. If life had more hours (and less laundry), she’d be traveling, painting, or becoming a professional pastry chef. For now, she’s content with baking, reading, lifting heavy things at the gym, and plotting her next great escape—er, novel. She has been happily publishing since 2021.

So excited to be heading to @parkbooksmd tomorrow for Spark in the Park!! Can’t wait to see some of you there!! (P.S. My Carved in Crimson giveaway map artwork arrived!! Yay!!😃)
I’m hearing we’re supposed to be providing process notes these days …
… all I have to say is good luck trying to interpret my drivel notes. 😂
Six more days and then the FINAL draft of Blood of the Bound is off for one more pass with my amazing editor. Thank goodness for caffeine and hyperfocus. 🤯
Book number 15!!!!!
Life got in the way of sharing about my book release yesterday, so in typical b-type hot mess author mom style, I’m sharing about The Route to You today!!!!
Who, what, where?
It’s Kyle’s (Ellie and Liddy’s younger brother) story, a second chance romance with a green flag, golden retriever MMC and a runaway bride, high school sweetheart FMC. Think…winter, Colorado, Wyoming, Nashville (even Cabo and San Francisco make appearances!).
On a personal level, I wrote The Route to You after a pretty rough, difficult year, where the subject of grief was really heavily weighing on my mind. If you’ve read my contemporary romances, you know I love those messy, emotional love stories, with characters that don’t have it altogether, and who have to figure out who they are. I’m really proud of this one and I can’t wait for you to read it. While I’m sorry to see the end of this Wanderlust series, I’m excited for new beginnings and more stories to tell.
And while I’ll be scaling back a bit on contemporary romance as I build my backlist in romantic fantasy and continue on some historicals that have been on my mind (including Jack Darby’s next book), I definitely won’t be leaving the genre behind! I’m currently drafting plans for a new costal small town series, with my eye on the Annapolis/Eastern Shore region as a backdrop! No matter what I end up writing though, I’m so grateful to all my loyal and amazing readers who came out of the woodwork yesterday to shout their support for my books and the Wanderlust series. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You all are the best. 🩷
The Route to You is out TOMORROW!! 🎉🥳🎊
And with that, the Wanderlust series will come to an end. Can’t wait for you to read Kyle’s story! 🩷
At the Book Fair at Bel Air today, having a blast!!! 💕
