About Ann Jagger

With over 40 years of experience in writing, printing, and publishing, I've been up to my elbows in words my entire life. I've won awards for my writing and been featured in magazines, but what gives me the most pleasure is watching someone else's eyes go wide when they see what they've achieved with my help.  

Travel gives me lots of terrific ideas for stories; however, I wanted a balance in my life. So, I schedule 2-4 group trips a year that I also host.  I teamed up with my daughter, Lindsay Hemingway, an accomplished travel agent who creates some of the most gorgeous destination weddings I've ever seen, among other trips. She has my and my group's backs while we're traveling. That's a great perk!

When I host a group trip for ladies only or groups 55+, I write about the travel adventure that turns into a souvenir book. Each person on the trip becomes a character in the story. It's challenging for me, yet the people I'm with are the ones creating the story. I'm just taking notes and twisting it all into a piece of fiction, generally with lots of comedy. And the only copies go to the travelers.
