About Ann

Who?

I'm an author; a creative person; a mother; a wife; a sister; a daughter; a friend; a citizen; an activist; etc

What?

Books, essays, columns, word art, words on websites, words on signs, words to go.

Where?

Canada, the U.S., and beyond.

When

Now (there's no better time) and for the past 20-something years.

Why

I have no other choice. I'm a writer. I must use my writing abilities to help other people and to work for change. It is both a privilege and a responsibility.

How

Any way I can. Anywhere I can. Working with like-minded people. Working in various media on a variety of projects. Marveling in the power of words to change the world.
