About Me

Greetings!

I'm Ann Marjory K! 

Most people call me Ann. Some call me Jory. A couple call me Mom. 

I'm a writer of Young Adult and New Adult in contemporary, fantasy and romance. I'm also a member of the Romance Writers of America and the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators.

I'm a mother of two: ages nine and five. My nine-year-old's a writer too. My four-year-old is on his way to becoming either a galactic bounty hunter or a Sith lord.

I've been writing since I could hold a pen, but really decided it was my thing in second grade. It's my passion; my first love.

I have a Boston Terrier named Sir Galahad von Grosse-Grosse, but we just call him Grosse. He's totally gross, half-blind, stinky and adorable.

I live in Chicago. I love this hood and have no plans to leave

My de-stressifier is sewing. I don't follow patterns very well, but I've come up with some creative costumes for the whole family. I also like to shred and re do t-shirts. My Pintrest is a homage to it.

I'm a DORK. I like Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, comic books, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, etc. I quote old movies from the '80s and '90s like I just watched them yesterday. I go to Chicago's comic con every year. I play My Little Pony and Star Wars with both kids. And I looove cartoons (and sharing them with my kids).

And I love the idea of superheroes. Since I was a kid and couldn't sleep (happened often), I'd imagine myself with superpowers, like walking through walls, flying or becoming invisible. This is not to say I dream about being a superhero, (because I can only handle being a hero to two special kids), but it's possibly why I created my YA novel.

Thank you for stopping by! Come back again soon!
