Ever since she was a little girl making her own books out of construction paper, Ann wanted to write. So when it came time to choose a major at the University of Wisconsin, the only subject she could choose was creative writing. Of course, that wasn’t a very practical thing to do. One needs to earn a living.

So Ann turned to jobs ranging from proofreading legal transcripts, to working with quarter horses, to washing windows. But no matter what she did for a living, she continued to write the type of stories that captured her heart and fired her imagination. Romantic suspense stories.

And in 1999, all her effort paid off when Silhouette Intrigue called to tell her they wanted to publish her first novel, Inadmissible Passion.

Ann lives near Madison, Wisconsin with her husband, John, her toddler son, her border collie, Mick, and her quarter-horse mare, Bonanza’s Copy Cat.
