The youngest of six children, Ann grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada, where the local bookmobile fed her addiction to Nancy Drew mysteries, Sweet Valley High books, and Stephen King horror. After graduating from the University of King’s College, she moved to Newfoundland, an island that makes up for its unforgiving climate with beautiful coastlines and majestic icebergs.

When not reading, writing or editing, Ann can be found spending time with her husband and son or binge-watching her favorite TV shows while curled up with the four-legged members of her family.

Ann's Books
Paintings can stir emotions, but for Julia, emotions bring paintings to life…literally.
After her mom's death, seventeen-year-old Julia learns she can make paintings come to life, just by using her emotions. When her boyfriend Nick gets trapped in the mural she created, she must enter the wintry world and bring him home before it’s painted over. But with a mysterious force keeping Nick tethered to the world of the mural, they may be captured in paint...forever.
When art and illusion collide, no one is safe...
An unexpected journey takes Julia through the bleakness of Crows in a Wheatfield, the desperate darkness of The Scream, and the seemingly harmless Pleasure Garden with a Maze. As her connection to the art intensifies, she’ll have to separate reality from illusion…and fully embrace the magic that runs through her veins, once and for all.
