She is also creator of Media Barista, an online “cafe” dedicated to under-reported news; currently on Twitter and Instagram (@media_barista for both) and Facebook (https://m.facebook.com/yourdailynewsshot/), Media Barista will be launching its own website and podcast this spring. 

Anne is also currently developing an early fiction into a miniseries, and working on the fourth in her sell-out cabaret series.
