Anne's career as a rowing coach takes her to a variety of locations throughout the United States where she embraces the challenges of everyday life with focus, persistence, and grace. With the help of nonvegan friends who appreciate her vegan cuisine, Anne is building her stone and timber-frame writer's cabin in western New York. She is committed to building bridges as a vegan in a culture that depends heavily on animal products which inspired her book, Dating Vegans. She loves sharing the joys and fun of cooking healthful food with kids, especially her son who makes a cameo appearance in her latest book, Apples, Bean Dip, and Carrot Cake.
