Ann Walters is a physical anthropologist who put her career on hold to raise her two young daughters. After the birth of her second child, she began writing, and discovered a true passion for putting words on the page. Although she now lives happily in the lush Pacific Northwest, much of her work is influenced by the sparse beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Her background in archaeology also informs her writing with a sense of the past and a deeply felt connection with all those who have gone before. Ann's poetry has appeared in Bonfire, NOÖ Journal, Salome Magazine, and edifice WRECKED
