"Where's the Story?  Each time I set out to write a short story or work on a novel (or, for that matter, read a short story or novel), I ask myself--Where is the Story?  I love telling stories...just telling stories."

Anne's nonfiction includes Foreign Investment in the American and Canadian West 1870-1914. She particularly enjoys researching and reading the 19th writer, Maria Edgeworth; collecting and selling 19th century British travel books; and traveling. Anne and her husband live and work in Colorado.
