About the Author
Ann grew up in Maryland, surrounded by books. She started writing stories as soon as she could hold a crayon. In kindergarten she was sent to the principal's office. She thought she was in trouble, but the principal just wanted to read one of her stories. After gaining degrees in psychology and social work, Ann worked as a clinical social worker, a Montessori teacher, and an autism therapist before rediscovering her passion for writing. When she is not reading or writing, Ann enjoys travelling, baking, and spending time with her family. She also enjoys eating Mexican food with plenty of guacamole. Ann has lived in many places, from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Frankfurt, Germany. She now lives in Virginia with her husband, young son, and a crazy Welsh corgi dog named Arthur.
