Ann was born in a small town in Indiana. She was the only girl in a family of three boys. This gave her a pretty good understanding of the workings of the male mind, both the good, the bad, and well... all the in-between. Understanding how men think is helpful in writing romances.
As a former English teacher she has always had a special affinity for the written word. "I have to admit. I love to paint a picture or evoke an emotion with words."
She is the mother of two, and when her youngest child left for college, she finally found time to write. No more carpools. No soccer games. No more watching long tennis matches. Writing became the perfect cure for the empty nest blues. But all of life abhors a vacuum, and thus, it wasn't long before her life was quickly filled with the process of learning a new vocation. She moved to Florida and began an exciting career as a professional dog trainer.
She tucked her partially finished manuscript under the bed and left it there to marinate while she taught Fido to sit and stay. But the book ... the need to share this story, beckoned. So she pulled the script out from under the bed, dusted it off, and published it --- a life-long dream fulfilled.
Today Ann trains dogs, writes, and pampers her own dog, Dexter, who has heard every word of her books read to him, and agree, they're a great read : )
