Ann has turned her college teaching experience into a professional writing career. Inspiration for writing about her experiences with disease occurred when she observed how sharing experiences can offer hope and healing to those struggling with traumatic life changes.

In addition to books, she also writes articles and essays for local and national publications, including the Chicken Soup books. Ann is a liaison for the Guillain Barre Foundation and runs a support group for patients and their families in her area. For relaxation she loves to work in her garden and says that whenever a passerby comments on her flowers, she plants more. She lives with her husband and their dog Henry in Broomfield, Colorado.
