Anna (which is her real first name) was a bookworm almost since birth. She graduated from Philadelphia's University of the Arts and pursued a versatile career in graphic arts, publications and public relations in Southern California before being lured to the Oregon wilderness by her desire to write professionally and her former Navy Seal husband. Anna's debut novel, 'The Songbird with Sapphire Eyes' first began as a series of dreams that so haunted her they became a personal quest to explore possible past life memories. The journey was both eerie and exciting and the book has since spawned the current Sapphire Songbird series. A wife, mother and doting nany of two, Anna and her husband live on 43 wooded acres in one of Oregon's enchanted forests. Their log home contains an interesting collection of Western, Native, Flapper and Prohibition memorabilia and an animal menagerie that has included dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, wolves, hawks and a feisty but lovable African grey parrot named Warlock.
