Book 4 - STEVIE-GIRL AND THE PHANTOM OF FOREVER is here! Available everywhere in digital. Print is coming soon.

A former emergency services dispatcher, rock-n-roll radio station secretary, hospital information operator, and grade school teacher, Ann Swann has been many things. Through it all were the words. She's been a writer since her teenage years and began winning fiction awards in college. As a child she grew up much like Stevie-girl in small town Texas. One difference? Ann never got up the nerve to enter the haunted house alone. She waited until she married her husband, Dude, then they went in together. Ann would love to hear your thoughts on her stories. Feel free to message her at any of her social media sites.

Ann is the author of STEVIE-GIRL AND THE PHANTOMS SERIES as well as ALL FOR LOVE, a contemporary women's novel (5 Prince Publishing), and STUTTER CREEK, a romantic suspense novel about a woman who goes looking for an old flame and finds a serial killer instead. The follow up book, LILAC LANE, is also a romantic suspense novel detailing one woman's quest to escape an abusive ex-husband. Book three is set near Stutter Creek at COPPER LAKE. It details the plight of Detective Kendra Dean who finds herself face to face with a deranged killer.

ALL FOR LOVE is Ann's only women's novel - so far - it is the tale of a young woman who found out that the man of her dreams just might be the worst thing that every happened to her.

Ann has also written in the horror genre. TAKERS: Apocalypse in Eden is her first novel in that field. One reviewer described it as "a bloody, dark, and fast moving book." She has a few short stories in the horror genre, too. Check out her Amazon page to see what is offered.

She likes all kinds of music, especially singer/songwriters like Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Van Morrison, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Evanescence, John Mellencamp, Elton John, Jon Bon Jovi, Reckless Kelly, Micky & the Motorcars, Sam Riggs, Melissa Etheridge, the list goes on and on . . .

Ann Swann and 144 other people liked Kealan Burke's review of The Outsider: "Agh, this one was hard. 65% of this book is some of King’s best, most original, and most assured writing in years.

Ann Swann liked a quote “Horror itself is a bit of a bullied genre, the antagonist being literary snobbery and public misconception. And I think good horror tackles our darkest fears, whatever they may be. It takes us into the minds of the victims, explores the threats, disseminates fear, studies how it changes us. It pulls back the curtain on the ugly underbelly of society, tears away the masks the monsters wear out in the world, shows us the potential truth of the human condition. Horror is truth, unflinching and honest. Not everybody wants to see that, but good horror ensures that it's there to be seen.” Kealan Patrick Burke
