Ann lives in the beautiful Northern Arizona mountains with her clever husband (Sam Lucky, with whom she co-authors The Deadwood Undertaker series), charming children, and incredibly sassy cats. After many years and several colleges, she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in English with an emphasis on creative writing from the University of Washington.

Her books are character-driven, mixed-genre adventures full of mystery and mayhem, comedy and spice, and whatever else feels right to her. Ann has written a bunch of contemporary, award-winning novels in multiple series full of quirky characters with whom she loves to spend time. Right now, while you’re reading this, she’s probably frolicking around in another story or running from some creepy supernatural villain she conjured in the middle of the night.Ann has been a member of several writer groups in the past, including Romance Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and Western Writers of America; however, currently she’s hanging out with Novelists, Inc (NINC) and soaking up all she can about writing and marketing books. Who knows what other groups she’ll join next in her effort to grow her craft and business skills? She’s always trying to improve and find more people who share her sense of humor.

While her reading preferences range from adventure to horror to western and mystery, since trying on herfirst training bra, she has loved a good mix of romance, too.

When Ann is not dabbling in fiction, she’s chatting it up on various podcasts and radio shows, as well as hanging out at various book-related conferences, making new friends and sharing what she has learned over the years about the writing craft and marketing
