Who This Author Is

Annie Dalton writes intimate, character-driven stories that blend everyday life with gentle supernatural elements. In Calling the Shots (Angels Unlimited), she follows a young heroine navigating ordinary school pressures while encountering angelic guidance, balancing humor, warmth, and the awkward truths of growing up.

Dalton’s prose favors clear, accessible scenes and quiet emotional stakes: friendships, family tensions, and self-discovery threaded through a light fantastical premise. Calling the Shots showcases her knack for mixing relatable teenage dilemmas with moments of wonder without losing sight of character and voice.
