Annabel den Dekker is a queer author from the Netherlands. When she’s not writing, she can be found strolling through nature, daydreaming about her favorite characters, or conjuring up new stories. She’s also an avid admirer of books, music, and TV series, and she delights in sharing them with others.

After years of creating numerous short stories, novels, and fanfiction, she self-published her debut novel Ailene. Purpose and Just Like Christmas followed only a year later. Now, she is eager to add many more books to her repertoire.

Annabel’s short story “Valentini’s Day” appears in Craving You: A Spicy Valentine’s Day Anthology (2025) and is available as an extended edition from Attic Ebooks and “The Day Before Life Begins” appears in Recipes for Romance: A Sweet Valentine’s Day Anthology (2025).
