Somewhere along the way after winging my way through flight attendant and marketing positions, I discovered my true passion – writing – and completed my first novel  Grandfather, Are You With Me?

What's it about, you might wonder?

In the American wilderness of the early 1800’s a pioneer couple is killed in a skirmish with the native peoples, and their young son and infant daughter are accepted and raised by the Lenape tribe. In time, the boy comes to embrace his new life, aided by the love and guidance of the tribe’s elderly medicine man. After an incident brings about his exile from the Lenape community, the young man becomes the sheriff of a nearby settler town. With the arrival of the U.S. Army on the western frontier, clashes with the natives ensue, and the brother and sister find themselves caught in an epic struggle between the culture of their birth and that of their upbringing, resulting in the discovery of the true meaning of love, family, and belonging.

I will take you along on my journey and those in it. One is my favorite four-legged friend seen sitting with me.

Cheers,

Ann
