Annie is a third generation Yank. Born in New York City and raised in the Midwest, she has lived in central Missouri, Southwest Louisiana, and Northern California. She has finally come to light on the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains.

After slaving away for six years in San Jose State’s evening program she graduated with a Masters in Education, specializing in Instructional Design, (which the world at large insists upon misconstruing as industrial design).

She has worked inside and outside of various industries from consulting to working the graveyard shift on an antiquated hotel switchboard. She is happiest working for herself. Her personality blends a huge imagination (which on more than one occasion has gotten her in and out of trouble) with a wide pragmatic streak, which she finds most helpful in solving her plotting problems.
