Ann Griffin

Award-winning debut author Ann Griffin comes from a family of adventurous women. An immigrant twice (to Canada and to the USA,) she understands from personal experience the challenges of being uprooted, either by choice or not, and remaking a life in a new place. Her writing journey was inspired, in part, by her mother's experience crossing the Atlantic in a convoy in World War II.

Ann writes historical fiction, flash fiction, and short non-fiction. She has published articles in the journal of the British Home Child Advocacy and Research Association, and guest blogged for the award-winning writers’ blog, Writers in the Storm. When not writing, Ann enjoys playing golf, and singing in her church choir. Ann and her husband divide their time between Mesa, Arizona, and with their grandchildren in Toronto, Canada.

Her novel, Another Ocean to Cross, is a finalist in the 2018 Wishing Tree Book Awards, and an Indie B.R.A.G. Medallion winner.
