Ann Whitaker

Ann Whitaker lives in the heart of Texas with her journalist husband and their adopted poochon, Jackson. She's been writing in one form or another all her life. A reformed high school and college English teacher, she's published poetry, non-fiction, and short fiction in newspapers, literary journals, and magazines. Her fictional characters are often larger than life and sometimes find themselves in absurd situations. Ann's stories almost always have a dog.

Her first novel, Dog Nanny, was a 2008 finalist in the Linda Howard Award of Excellence contest and dubbed a “near perfect book” by Coffee Time Romance & More. When not writing, Ann reads, teaches Jackson new tricks, sings, paints, and plays the guitar.
