Annie Crawford lived in central Mexico for twenty years, where she taught, translated and invented stories for her kids, several of which later became full-length books. She currently makes her home in the beautiful, rainy Pacific Northwest. Her days are spent writing, blogging, hiking, working part-time as a court certified Spanish interpreter and generally enjoying life. Annie's first novel, The Ring of Leilani, a middle-grade/young adult novel also set in Mexico, is also available on CreateSpace. Connect with Annie on her blog at http: //www.magicandthemuse.com.
