Ann Goering is a four-time award winning journalist that has worked as a senior editor/writer of magazines, newspapers and online publications since 2005. A theatrical production she wrote was performed on stage in 2005 and she was asked to co-write a screenplay for a film scheduled to be released in Hollywood in late 2011. Ann has her degree in communications. She works at an international Christian ministry that works in relationships and evangelism to children, youth and families around the world, which has given her a heart for the broken, hurting and lost, and a desire to see individuals and families operate in healthy relationships. In 2008 she married a handsome and charming man who swept her off her feet and promptly convinced her to leave their hometown and embark upon a whirlwind adventure of their own. They now make their home in the Ozark Mountains, under the canopy of leaves amidst the unending music of locusts, with their baby girl, Ali, and their big, fluffy dog, Sheesha.
