Ann Crawford's best-selling, life-affirming books weave tales of love and intrigue that take readers on mystical journeys. Her characters live radiant lives touched by magic, an ability Ann believes we all have. She also believes in love at first sight, that good always prevails, and that we're here for those wildwonderfulwayoutthere visions of ours to come alive.

Ann has lived "oh, all over." She and the love of her life and their family live with a view of the Rocky Mountains out the window. In addition to four humans, "family" includes a showtune-belting parrot who laughs even more than Ann does-quite a feat!

When she's not circumnavigating the globe (65 countries and counting, plus all 50 states), communing with sea critters on the ocean floor (in her scuba gear), or climbing every mountain (on the back of her husband's motorcycle), or flying planes (not just *in* the plane-*flying* the plane, at least as a student pilot for now), you can find her writing.

Ann is also an award-winning documentary filmmaker. Her first movie was about a group of vets returning to Viet Nam to perform humanitarian work, give something back to the people, return to their Areas of Operation, and heal their wounds of war. Her second movie involved traveling around the world and interviewing people from all walks of life-heads of state, street kids, academics, artists....the folks of this world-on how they envisioned creating world peace. The website for this movie won numerous awards. Ann is an award-winning humanitarian, as well.
