She then moved to New York City where she fulfilled her high school dream of working with Broadway playwrights. For the next 10 years she was affiliated with Samson Raphaelson, Robert Sherwood, Sidney Kingsley, George Kaufman and the syndicated cartoonist, Walt Kelly.
After marriage and three children, Ann began writing seriously when she took a writing course at Fairfield University in Connecticut and had a narrative poem published in Humpty Dumpty magazine. Other poetry and short stories followed in childrens magazines. Her first book, a Young Adult novel, Flash And The Swan, was published by Frederick Warne. After that, a non-fiction book, John Ericsson And The Inventions Of War, with an introduction by Henry Steele Commager was published as part of a Civil War series from Silver Burdett Press. She also wrote The Story Of Jennie Wade, a true account, for the Jennie Wade museum in Gettysburg, followed by an historical novel, Summer Storm In Gettysburg, based on Jennie Wade, her family and friends. She has written several picture books (two in rhyme), a collection of short stories for children and most recently has published a memoir about her most unusual grandmother titled, Best Friends Are Better Than Diamonds, A Story of Diamond Heels and Stepped-on Toes. Her mystery novel To Catch A Ghost is scheduled for publication later this summer.
Ann taught Writing for Children at Fairfield University for 10 years and conducted writing workshops in Southport. She also has done editing for publishers and for private students.ver menos
