Meet Ann Ingalls and Maryann Macdonald
Ann Ingalls likes to read, write, play bridge and rummy, walk with friends, work in the garden, and spend as much time with family and friends as they will allow. She and her husband love to travel and are currently planning two trips to South America. She is the author of over one hundred stories, poems, prayers, meditations, ACT exams, and Praxis II exams.

Maryann Macdonald enjoys a lot of the same things she did as a child— skating, playing games, and especially reading. Growing up outside of Detroit, she dreamed of exploring faraway places and later traveled to Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. She brought up her two daughters in London and now lives in New York City with her husband. She has written more than twenty-five books.
