Ann Richardson has been a writer for many years. She is fascinated by other people’s thoughts, experiences and emotions and loves to write books where they can express their views in their own words.
She writes on different subjects that capture her interest for one reason or another. These include i) a book about how it feels to be a grandmother (Celebrating Grandmothers); ii) a book about people living with HIV/AIDS when there was no cure (Wise Before Their Time, Foreword by Sir Ian McKellen); and iii) a book about what it is like to work in end-of-life care (Life in a Hospice, with a Foreword by Tony Benn).
Her most recent book is completely different. It is called The Granny Who Stands on Her Head: Reflections on growing older. It is part memoir and part thoughts on why she likes being an older woman.
