Aurora Award nominee for Best Young Adult Novel - Ka'Azula, (2023) and elementary school librarian. Ann always wanted to write a book of her own. She was inspired to write this story by a strange beeping coming from a box in her garage. When COVID-19 hit Canada and everyone was in quarantine or lock down, she had lots of time to imagine being sucked through a wormhole to other planets and what wonderful things she might find there. She is also the author of the soon to be published, humorous picture book titled, "The Squirrel Show". Stay tuned!

Ann lives in Montreal, Quebec, Canada with her family and two morkies: Bilbo and Sheba.

I get inspired by great authors like Gordon Korman, Judy Blume and Bruce Coville to name a few.
