After experiencing a great loss in her life, Anna Gomez, who has also written as Christine Brae, decided that it was time to channel her feelings on paper and see where it would take her. She never imagined that her words would touch the hearts of many women with the same stories to tell. With an established fan base and a dedicated following, Anna Gomez has published several novels which have won Literary Awards: Insipid, In this Life, My Goodbye Girl and The Year I Left . Her books have debuted in the top 1,000 at Amazon and continued to rank in the Top 100 in the months following their release. Anna is currently collaborating on the From Kona with Love series with Actor and Producer Kristoffer Polaha. Together, they have written two books – Moments Like This, released in March 2021 and Where the Sun Rises, which released in October, 2022. My Goodbye Girl, released in June, 2023. Her most recent project – Somewhere Along the Way – a Kobo Originals story, is published by Open Road Media Romance and releasing in May, 2025.
Anna Gomez is a hopeless romantic who writes about real life, flawed characters and the saving grace of unconditional love. Her experience of living and growing up in a foreign country plays a large part in her multi-cultural stories. Her full-time career and ability to travel extensively also add flair and individuality to the vividly written settings in her books. They transport the reader to faraway places and make them feel like they’ve been there before. Anna’s inspiration stems from the people she meets and the places that she’s seen. Her stories are realistic and honest, thought-provoking and impactful. Her love for poetry is evident in her writing style.
Anna is Chief Financial Officer, Americas, for Inspired Thinking Group. She lives in Indiana with her husband and three children.
