Anna Egan Smucker

Hello! I have been writing for most of my life and am the author of many stories rooted in myth, legend, and history. Some published books of mine include:

* Fallingwater: The Building of Frank Lloyd Wright's Masterpiece - coauthored w/Marc Harshman

* Brother Giovanni's Little Reward: How the Pretzel Was Born

* No Star Nights

* Golden Delicious: A Cinderella Apple Story

* Outside the Window

* To Keep the South Manitou Light

* The Life of Saint Brigid

* A History of West Virginia

and several others expected to be published in the next year or so.

My main focus has been on books for children, although I enjoy basing stories on interesting historical events that appeal to adults too. I've had poetry featured in many journals and anthologies. I also give writing workshops and author presentations throughout the country.

I am proud to call West Virginia home. I live in Bridgeport, WV with my husband Kim. My son lives close by in Bridgeport with his wife and daughter, and my daughter lives in Boston with her two sons.
