 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.
