Anna Bell has been writing romantic comedies and women’s fiction since 2010, building a body of work that spans series fiction and standalone novels. Her early work includes the Millie series, a trilogy of digital novellas about a British woman navigating life and love in America, and the Don’t Tell the Groom series, which follows women trying to keep romantic secrets from the men in their lives. Both series earned her a loyal readership before she shifted primarily to standalone novels.
Her standalone output is broad, covering digital detoxes, bucket lists, dating apps, and the quirks of modern relationships. Titles like It Started With A Tweet and We Just Clicked tap into specific contemporary moments without feeling dated, because the emotional core of her stories stays grounded in recognizable experience. She has continued publishing steadily into the 2020s, with Once Upon a Leap Year appearing in 2024.
Bell also contributed a story to A Toy Christmas in 2016 and a novella, Don’t Tell Penny, to her Don’t Tell the Groom world in 2013. Readers new to her work can start anywhere, though the Don’t Tell the Groom series is best read in order from the first book.
