Originally from Vermont, Ann now lives in Virginia with her husband on their homestead. She spent much of her childhood moving from place to place. Now settled, she enjoys her animals and pursuing her dreams of sharing her imagination through writing, illustrating, and graphic designing. Ann's love of books from childhood continues today - always searching for new ways to stimulate the imagination. She knows the struggles of adversities as well as the thrill of triumphing over them. Pulling inspiration from vast and various life experiences, both her own and those observed, Ann strives to learn, grow, and share. Ann homeschooled her children for several years.
