Loving The Book Presents: Autumn/Halloween Countdown 2019; #BookBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #OnSale, #99Pennies, #Giveaway




Ann has been a writer since junior high, but to pay the bills she has waited tables, delivered newspapers, cleaned other people's houses, taught school, and had a stint as a secretary in a rock-n-roll radio station. She also worked as a 911 operator and a police dispatcher. 

Her fiction began to win awards during her college days. Since then she's published several short stories, novels, and novellas. She’s always reading and always writing, but even if she never sold another story, Ann would not stop writing. For her it's a necessity, like breathing. Most of the time, it even keeps her sane.

Snippet:

He thought back to the patterns of lines and numbers he’d carved into the bones so long ago before he’d buried them. They’ll never figure it out, but they’ll wonder. He pulled his shirtsleeve down over his bony wrist to cover the faded tattoo that matched the lines and numbers he’d carved into the femur.

Oh, how they’ll wonder.

Snippet:

“I was alone.” His voice was a whisper. “We all are.”
The wind kicked up as the words left his mouth. A gust caused Lady to shift her feet as the chill air ruffled her fur. The moonlight fell in slanted beams.
I had to say something to break that awful silence. “Sure you don’t you want to sit in my dad’s truck?”
He gazed down at Lady. “She knows I have to go.” He smoothed her fur absently. “She’s been there before.”
I remembered the day I’d found her half-dead beside the road, the victim of a hit-and-run driver.
The man’s gaze rose to my face.
His eyes were the same silvery color as his hair.
The siren was deafening. I looked over my shoulder thankful to see the pulsing strobes. “Here!” I waved my flashlight at the emergency vehicle.
I turned back to the pilot, but he was gone.

There was only Lady, trotting off across the field.

Loving The Book Presents #Christmas #Countdown, #Bliz, #OutNow, #Giveaway





Ann lives in Texas with her husband and rescue pets. She taught reading and other subjects for a number of years before leaving to devote more time to her first love—writing. Reading with children was always her favorite part of teaching.

Her adult novels—All For Love, women’s fiction, and the suspense trilogy Stutter Creek, Lilac Lane, and Copper Lake, are all published by 5 Prince Publishing.

Takers, Ann’s foray into speculative fiction, was released earlier this year.

She has won several awards for fiction since her college days and has had short stories and essays published in Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine, The Binnacle, Timeless, an anthology, Seasonal Sweet, and Suspenseful, an anthology, Jitter Press, Fictionterrifica, The Rusty Nail, The Sandstorm, Reflections, an anthology, and Blue Mountain Review.

Snippet:         
   A branch cracked, a shadow moved, and panic slid between my ribs like a
blade.  The figure turned toward my headlights, definitely female. She
wore her long hair lose and flowing. Under the moonlight, I couldn’t be certain
if the woman’s hair was red or light brown. "Rose," I called.
"Is that you?"
