I grew up in small town Pennsylvania about 51 miles north of Pittsburgh my mom was a single mom with 5 children to raise. My childhood wasn't a happy one but life is what it is and life goes on. I grew up in Smithfield, Leckrone area of Pa but moved to Florida where I lived for over 20 yrs and is where my two boys and their family's and my dad still reside. 2014 I moved to Tennessee to a area that is like going back in time except we have a car and not a horse and buggy to get where we need to go and that's a good thing because as it is just about everything is at least 20 -30 minute drive.

Well I don't know anyone who doesn't love a little romance. I love suspense stories ones that keep you on the edge of your seat add a little romance and it is sure to keep you reading not wanting to put the book down until your have read it to the very end.

When I wrote my second book and received a 5 out of 5 star review for not one but for both of my books. Ironically I didn't face to many obstacles when publishing my first 5 books it wasn't until the publisher for my first 4 books went out of business that I faced obstacles I am currently self-published author until I can find some one who will pick up the mantle.

I like to do wood art and shoot photos of nature. I have a few cats that make my day a little lighter. One thing I like about where I live is the wild life. The other night my daughter and I were watching TV and there was a pack of coyotes just a little ways from my house making a racket. I opened the window and yelled out the window and said what is all that noise about? they shut up for a second or two then they started back up again then I said You guys really need to go some where else with all that noise. Every thing got quiet . I looked back at my daughter and said see Hope when momma talks they listen. Lol Not another sound. .Keeping in mind I never left the safety of my home. I like to go to a movie once in a while or miniature gulfing.

Well some people think because you write about romance that your some how are looking for romance. Occasionally someone will say something to the tune. Want to write a romance book together? It might be a lot of fun. I'm like no I don't think so, thank you anyway.

It was a few years before I actually wrote it. I got this Idea and wrote down the Idea in a form of an outline and filed it away.

When you read the book of Revelation and watch some of these so called end time natural disaster movies one can get the feeling that something is missing. There will be so much more going on then a big earthquake or some volcano going off. There will be scorpions of the size of a horse and real living dead walking the earth although I don't think it will resemble anything like the zombies movies we are familiar with. The sink holes that are developing all over the world what do you think might be coming out of them? Ben and Sarah face a life much different then the one they were planning, everything they knew changed in a blink of an eye.

In the beginning she is at a prophecy conference when things begin to change for her. Natalie is in to the bible just as I am. As some writers do I try to write about what I am Familiar with but think out side the box enough to give the character their own personality.

Yes

Short Stories in the Life of Little Girl Blue Originally started out to be my story but I decided to make it in to Short stories some of which touched on my life but included fictional stories.

The Good Teacher

The book of Revelation. It is really something in reading it one can not imagine that life can be like that. Walk out of your door and stand there for a bit. It's quiet and in most cases very peaceful now imagine walking out your door and seeing a horse sized scorpion with a head of a man walking past you. You walk back into the house shocked at what you just seen find that your loveable doggie or kitty that you just petted and hugged is now looking at you like your dinner. Yikes!

Ancient history... History in general

One which everyone gets along and a differences of opinion doesn't result in name calling or violence.

No secret …. Working hard and not giving up when things get tough. Stay Humble

No Where to Turn which is finished and is in the process of editing. Started on one called The Increase of Knowledge Then and Now which is a little different from what I usually do,and a hobby project I started on is Tangi's Wood Art & Photography

Best part is that you can be creative that you can come up with an Idea and bring it to life. worst part is starting on a project and realizing the direction you were going with this story line you were working on isn't going to work so you have to start all over again or scrap it all together

I prefer the country because it's quiet and peaceful way of living. The area i live in now is like going back in time from when I was a child the neighbors friendly and there to help in a pinch.

I started taking pictures when I got my first camera which was a Polaroid that the pic would come out of the camera and develop with in minutes of you taking it. Then though most of my pics were of family it wasn't until a little later when I started taking pics of nature, animals.

A bird on the side of a old house, Butterfly sitting on a leaf, cats all lined up on the banister looking into the door as to say is that for me? Trees in bloom, Flowers on a spring day.

I share it on social media. I had it on display once at a book signing, I have tried to sell it on eBay but It cost more to sell it then I made for it. I sold a piece (Goats) called Squeaker and Grace. I did a couple of Paintings on called Kelly on Ice and Ice Trees. I hope to find a venue for which I could Exhibit my artwork.

My daughter did a piece for my dad for Christmas. I asked her how did you do that? she showed me how she did it and I've been doing that ever since.

At my desk away from distraction where I can drown out the events of the day and focus on the characters and events I'm working on in my book.

A resident sitting in the kitchen and talking to me while I'm working on their dinner for the next day. The look in the eyes of a resident that may not be able to do anything for her self but you can see that she appreciates what your doing for her. The best place I ever worked for was browning care I can't say what it is like now but it was one of the best places I have ever worked it not only treated it's residents with the care and respect they deserve but it was a good work environment as well.

I enjoyed it a lot. It was hard work and there were aspects of working on the farm that was emotionally hard for me but I love animals. I learned a lot about how to care for them as well as making goat cheese and butter. I'm a shy person and working on the farm meant I had to learn to talk to customers who were interested in what I had to sell. so that kind of helped me come out of my shell.

Short Stories in the Life of Little Girl Blue. It was based in part on my life experiences as a child and an adult but there were events I couldn't remember or I may have blocked them out for one reason or the other so I had to fill in the gaps with fictional events. Some of the stories are just plain fiction, People in my book are fictional.

I actually started writing my first two books years before I actually finished them. Imagine how exciting it was to write your first book and summit it to get this email that said congratulations we want to publish your book and in another correspondence it says... Let us all work hard to turn your book in to a widely read success story. That encouraged me to write my next book Natalie's Dilemma.

I contribute my growth in part to God and some to Family and Friends that encouraged me a long the way.

One from M.N Prather where she said at the end of the review she wrote "Ann shows much promise for future books"

Another where Terry Gilbert-Fellows said Tangina is a dark horse of a very pale complexion. She has talents which for the most part are hidden from the mix and match of social media and a chance encounter via a wine support site made me check out her undeniable talents again"

When I first got on social media I was targeted by a number of people pretending to be something & someone they are not. They're called romance scams and they're more common then you think. The Search for Serenity is what one looks for when someone realizes that they have been duped and that some one special who has been talking to them, sending them flowers, Promising to marry them wasn't who you believed them to be.

Very important

I have several but if I had to choose it would be The Good Teacher

Because teachers can play a very important part in our lives. Some go beyond their responsibilities as a teacher to insure the children in their charge learn to read, they can touch a child's life in a very special way.

No i don't know anyone with Natalie's abilities in helping to solve mysteries

I was reading the book of revelation and it came to me that most of these movies you see always depict natural disasters and I don't remember seeing a movie with some the events or creatures that are talked about in the in the bible. So I decided to write a book to do just that. I started this book where I left off in Natalie's Dilemma.

I wrote a chapter for Tyler Wagner for 100 person book titled the better business book volume 4 due out in August of this year

I started working on a book called The Legend of Fisher King Island

They captured what they thought was not just a rare animal but it was thought to be the only one left but they were wrong He had a whole family there and now they have to find a way to get him home.
