Ann
Macela. I have been blessed with a number of careers:
public school and university teacher (three degrees in history);
writer of history (the kind bristling with footnotes); sales,
marketing, and PR person writing everything from ads to annual
reports; consultant and computer manual writer; and now romance
author. A native Texan, I spent most of my life on the Gulf
Coast until my husband’s and my business took us first
to Minneapolis and then to the Chicago area. It didn’t
take me long to learn how to survive in The Frozen North—just
wear my entire wardrobe at one time. All of this, some travels
here and abroad, and my computer-and-accounting-savvy husband
have given me inspiration and details for my stories.
In Chicagoland,
I finally had the time to do what I have always wanted to:
write fiction. I write both contemporary
and contemporary paranormal stories. I hope my readers enjoy
my magic practitioners. We all need a little magic in our
lives.
