Ann Deiterich

Ann (Hassler) Deiterich has been a fan of Triple Crown horse racing since she was ten years old. Watching Secretariat win the coveted Triple Crown continues to be a cherished memory for her along with hours upon hours riding horses as a teen.

Test of the Champion received a silver medal from The BookFest (Fall 2024).

In addition to loving horses, dolphins are also a favorite, and she’s written and published an interactive children’s e-book, That Sounds Fishy: Feeding Dolphins & Sea Lions at The Dolphin Research Center with proceeds benefiting that nonprofit organization.

While Test of the Champion is her first published novel for children, she has ghostwritten dozens of non-fiction books for entrepreneurs.

She and her husband, Ross MacCallum, continue to enjoy watching horse racing from their home in Spring Township, PA.
