Ann Nickell became a writer at the young age of eight, when she penned her first short story, “The Bullfight”, the tale of a matador and a bull, in which the bull wins. Over the years, Ann discovered that she couldn’t fit her voice inside one genre box, and she weaves tales of love, ghosts, pirates, dystopian societies, history, and travel.

Ann penned articles for examiner.com for five years as the Fort Worth Historic Places Examiner. When they closed their doors, Ann took a new tour of Fort Worth, updated those articles and wrote a few more, and used them to publish her first book, "The Time Traveler's Guide to Fort Worth: Where the West Begins". She published her first poetry chapbook, "Triumph and Tribulation", two months later.

Ann now uses her real estate experience to write articles for HypeWired while she completes her next book.
