Ann Kitching, B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.
I write realistic fantasy about magical creatures who interfere with the human world. Fairies who must pass end-of-year exams? Yup! Dragons who look after human babies… and really want to eat them? Of course!
I also love to teach, hence my nonfiction books on writing.
Pleased to meet you. Let’s write.
