of the Rockies, it's no wonder West Virginia's nickname is the
"Mountain State." Abundant natural resources make it a leader in
both industry and recreation, from glassmaking to rock climbing.
Historic sites and sights include Harper's Ferry and the annual
Native American Pow Wow, along with Lost World Caverns and White
Sulphur Springs. Noteworthy West Virginians include Chuck Yeager
and Olympian Mary Lou Retton.

Ann lives in Michigan with her husband, two daughters and their
dog, Bisbee.

include "A Fairy in a Dairy, Smudge Bunny," and the bestselling
