Born in Chamblee, Georgia, she is the youngest in her family and the only girl. Being raised in a family with three brothers, she was happy to welcome a daughter when she started her own family. However, she would not have a son until her daughter married and she gained a son-in-law.
Annette lives with her husband, John, on his family Cattle Ranch under a big Texas sky.
Writing aspirations began as a young child with journal-keeping. But she would not be published until she became an empty nester when her daughter left for college.
All her years have been spent in the south except for college years in Illinois. With a B.A. degree in Sociology and graduate studies in Early Childhood Education, she has been an educator in public schools as well as a home-schooling mom and worked in various social service and community organizations.
Besides writing, she loves country music, watching movies, reading, being with family, traveling to her favorite places – Disney World and anywhere with an ocean view – and watching reality TV shows.
A big fan of Gene Autry, she helped organize
the first Gene Autry Music Festival in Texas. She is also a big
fan of spirituality and health author, Mary Baker Eddy, whose
ideas continue to influence her life. She believes the Bible
contains "the recipe for all healing,"
