Anne's book Call Me Anne will be published posthumously 

"My mom had a completed manuscript for a second book at the time of her passing. The book is the product of mom's further efforts to share her story and to help others where she could. Call Me Anne is the result and I know she was excited to share with the world. 

"So, mom, here I am sharing it with the community you created, may it flourish and take on a life of it's own, as you would have wanted."

"I don't plan on using this platform too often but know she loved her fans, loved writing (she wrote endlessly) and it would not feel right not to reach out at a time like this. As mom liked to sign off, Peace and love, Homer."

Anne was taken off life support nine days after suffering a "severe anoxic brain injury" in a car crash in Los Angeles.
