Marsha Ward, the Founder of ANWA, writes authentic historical fiction set in 19th Century America, contemporary romance, journals, self-help books for writers, and log books/trackers for indie authors. She is the author of the popular Owen Family Saga and the companion works in the Shenandoah Neighbors series. Marsha was born in the sleepy little town of Phoenix, Arizona, in a simpler time. With plenty of room to roam among the chickens and citrus trees, she enjoyed playing with neighborhood chums, but always had her imaginary friend, cowboy Johnny Rigger Prescott, at her side. Now she makes her home in a forest in the mountains of Arizona. She loves to hear from her readers.
