You’ve found my webpage, the home of all things Stella Mare, plus other fiction by Annie M. Ballard, and a home for the non-fiction work of Leslie Ann Costello (that’s my legal name). I’m delighted to welcome you here, where you can find stories about strong women doing important things even though their lives are full of everyday challenges.
Click on the book cover to read about the title. Scroll through to learn more about my books and the village of Stella Mare, New Brunswick, the best little made-up place in the Canadian Maritimes. Books are all available in Kindle Unlimited, for sale at Amazon, or at your library through the Libby App.
Also from Annie M. Ballard…..
Emelie and Liam have a happy life with their five-year-old son Ben, until a car accident changes everything. She and Liam become fractured, and each one struggles to find the meaning of family and their deepest desires. This warm story of family love captures the challenges of trauma, loss and the joy of coming back together.
Mackenzie and Declan need a Christmas miracle, both for the Sea Stars Festival and for their relationship. This cozy romantic story follows characters from A Talisman of Home as Mackenzie learns to stop trying so hard to make Stella Mare her home.
Mackie heads to the strange new world of the Canadian Maritimes to find her father. Now she’s not sure she wants him, and worse, not sure he wants her. And there are complications. Should she disrupt everyone’s world or keep her secret?
