Readings
Ann has been doing workshops and readings for Grades 5 to adult for more than 20 years. She loves traveling, and is willing to gear her presentations to the needs and requests of a particular school or classroom, depending on which of her titles are in use. Her presentations are a mixture of storytelling, historical background and readings from her novels. The sessions are fast paced and entertaining, as well as informative. As one teacher commented after Ann visited her school, "You made history come alive for my students."

Biography
I grew up in several countries, settling in Vancouver, BC in time to finish my school years there. I have lived in the Cariboo Region of BC for many years and have two grown daughters. I was a teacher, both in the public school system and at a local college, for many years.
I have begun working with Community Justice Forums in my community, and have a small, rustic cabin on the shores of a local lake. I recently became a kayaker, and enjoy it, and continue to be fascinated by the stories of the Gold Rush which are all around me.
