Anne Key

Anne Key wants to live in a world where women are wild, knees don’t age, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, and we all love—and are loved for being—exactly who we are.

Anne’s first memoir Desert Priestess recounts her time as the Priestess of the Temple of Goddess Spirituality Dedicated to Sekhmet in Nevada. Her latest book— Burlesque, Yoga, Sex and Love: A memoir of Life under the Albuquerque Sun — recounts her experiences at the intersection of spirituality and sexuality. She co-edited Heart of the Sun: An Anthology in Exaltation of Sekhmet and Stepping Into Ourselves: An Anthology of Writings on Priestesses.

Anne blissfully resides in Albuquerque with her husband, his three cats and her snake. When she’s not writing or grading papers, you can find her pushing taffeta through a sewing machine or strapping on her heels for rehearsal.
