As a freelancer in the 1970s, then staff member and editor for Annapolitan magazine into the 1990s, she captured the lives of numerous Annapolitans in features and columns. She also co-authored Chesapeake Bay Schooners, telling the stories of Marylanders whose livelihoods depended on that unique Bay craft.
In 1992, she received the Maryland Society of Professional Journalists' Excellence in Journalism award for Human Interest for her Annapolitan article, "Do You Know What I Have Been," a history of the Black community in Annapolis. Her children's histories, The World Turned Upside Down, recounting the story of the Revolutionary War in Annapolis, and Leonard Calvert and the Maryland Adventure, were often used in elementary schools.
A founding member of the Annapolis History Consortium, she produced scripts for the group's five-year commemoration of Annapolis during the Civil War, 2011 to 2015. By then, Ann was at work on her first novel. Set in Georgian England and colonial Annapolis, A Daughter of Wapping weaves her extensive knowledge of early Annapolis with elements of her family's history into the engaging story of seventeen-year-old Martha Pratt.
Ann lives in Annapolis not far from where her story takes place.visualizza meno
