Ann Whynot is pursuing her lifelong dream of being a published author, and was thrilled to have worked with Penny Reid’s Smartypants Romance. She is currently working on her third (and first indie) book for a September 2026 release, called The Magnificent Mind of Olly McLeod. She is a voracious reader and book collector, and used book stores are her kryptonite. She also is passionate about video games, crafting, baking, and travel. She lives with her husband and a spoiled cat on the Canadian East coast, and as a proud Maritimer, loves laughing, and collecting stories from people. She finds inspiration all around her, in both the forest and sea, and writes body-positive stories featuring characters with disabilities or who are part of the LGBTQ2S+ community.
