Award winning author Ann Marie Stewart's first novel Stars in the Grass received the Christy® award for Best Debut Novel. After that debut, Ann is challenged and inspired for even greater storytelling. She originated the Preparing My Heart series and her column "Ann's Lovin' Ewe" is nationwide in The Country Register. When she's not writing a story, she may be acting it out or telling it through song, as she coaches musical theater. Ann loves hanging out with her husband and two adult daughters watching UVA Basketball and shepherding a whole flock of fuzzy sheep on Skye Moor Farm, in Virginia-where unscripted drama provides plenty of entertaining material for her next story.
