I\u2019m searching for my place in this messy world-craving, saying,
and doing things I regret.
I fight for relationships, and sometimes I give up too soon.
I hold grudges. I harbor issues.
And, always, I\u2019m trying to measure up.
Do you walk in my world?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0About Ann<\/h2>\n

I became a writer the year I discovered Sister Sheila had hair.\u00a0 I was in fifth grade at St. Hugh\u2019s Catholic School in Miami, knee deep in nouns and verbs, when Sister Sheila walked through the door in a new habit that showed two inches of mouse brown hair threaded with silver.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Sister\u2019s jump-start, I went on to earn a BA in creative writing from Ashland University and an MFA in creative writing from Wilkes University. With five novels and a messy stack of magazine, newspaper, and blog articles, I\u2019m still infatuated with the written word.<\/p>\n

My newest crush is embarrassingly myopic\u2013blogging memoir every Friday. And sometimes it\u2019s just plain embarrassing<\/p>\n
