Anne Licata-Solaas is a novelist and former college Spanish instructor at Chapman University, bringing ten years of teaching experience to her exploration of identity and transformation. Her Italian-American historical trilogy The Scent of Lemons and Spanish-language psychological thrillers demonstrate her range across genres and languages. Featured on Fox Nation's "Riddle: The Search for James R. Hoffa," she brings proven media appeal and storytelling credibility to both literary and popular audiences. Her firsthand experience on the Camino de Santiago informs the spiritual authenticity of Where Deep Calls to Deep, while her other current work-in-progress, a Haitian missionary memoir, deepens her understanding of faith formation and cross-cultural ministry.

Anne lives in Huntington Beach, California, with her husband near their four adult children. In her free time, she loves to read, hike, and attempt playing golf—a pursuit that, like writing, requires both humility and grace. Her spiritual heroes include Dallas Willard, C.S. Lewis, and Bishop Robert Barron—writers who refuse to simplify faith.
