Ann Shorey has been a story collector for most of her life and has been a full-time writer for over twenty years. Her writing has appeared in Chicken Soup for the Grandma’s Soul and in the Cup of Comfort series. She made her fiction debut with The Edge of Light, book 1 in the At Home in Beldon Grove series, which released in January 2009. The final book in the series, The Dawn of a Dream, released in April 2011. Her latest, the Sisters at Heart series, debuted in January 2012, with Where Wildflowers Bloom. The third book in that series, Love’s Sweet Beginning, released in February 2014. She’s tempted to thank Peet’s coffee and Dove chocolates when she writes the acknowledgments for her books.

When she’s not writing, she teaches classes on historical research, story arc, and other fiction fundamentals at regional conferences. She lives with her husband in southern Oregon.
