MEET AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR ANN GRIFFIN
I come from a family of adventurous women. An immigrant twice myself (to Canada and to the USA,) I understand from personal experience the challenges of being uprooted, either by choice or not, and remaking a life in a new place.
My mother, who wrote her life story which I blogged in http://www.my101years.com , first inspired me with her tales of life in Canada and England, so it was a natural step for me to begin writing when I discovered stories that needed a voice.
I write historical fiction, flash fiction, and short non-fiction. I have published fictional articles in the news magazine of the British Home Child Advocacy and Research Association, and I am a guest blogger for the award winning writers' blog, Writers in the Storm .
A dual Canadian-US citizen, I reside in Mesa, Arizona with my husband, Art. We spend summers in Toronto, Canada, with family. When not writing, I can be found at the golf course, or making music with my church choir.
