Anne McFadden was born in Southern California in the 60's. Her parents were contract workers and tended to move about. She lived in Idaho during her teen years, where she discovered the enormous benefits of storing food. Anne has been involved with the concept and practice of food storage ever since.

Anne states: "I didn't aspire to be a writer, it wasn't on my list of 'to-be's when I grew up. At the half-century mark, I realized that I hadn't grown up yet, I was still just scratching the surface of what I wanted to be. Who knows what the next half century will offer me."

Anne is a mother and grandmother who enjoys reading books, cross-stitching, gardening, re-writing music for organ, 'playing' the organ - especially prelude, and prepping.

I then consume a balanced diet of chocolate, take a walk, watch a movie, read a different genre of book, review other chapters of my book, take a nap. Sometimes I give an excerpt to a couple of friends, that love me, and ask them what they honestly think and what they suggest. I also have successfully utilized fervent prayer for some hope of a nick-in-the-brick.

Ofttimes writing ideas happened in the shower or while I was driving...so I learned to memorize, or I stopped what I was doing and dried off or pulled over quickly to sketch my thoughts.

Honestly, most of my better ideas came when I wasn't writing. Porch swings, nature walks and gardening are excellent mediums for the brain gears to start turning.(less)
