Meet the Author - Ann Parker
Ann Parker is the author of Follow Me to Alaska and Following Alaska’s Call, two memoir-style books inspired by her years living in Alaska. Her writing reflects real experiences of cabin life, relationships, faith, and the lasting pull of place. Today, she divides her time between Texas and Alaska, continuing to write and share stories shaped by both landscapes.
Churches & Community Groups
Ann offers talks and discussions for churches and community groups, sharing stories from her years in Alaska—both from her books and from everyday life there. These gatherings often focus on faith, how it grows through experience, and the importance of community, especially in challenging or remote places. Presentations can be shaped to fit the needs of each group, whether for a special service, small gathering, or community event.
Libraries, Schools, & Writing Groups
Libraries, schools, and writing groups can benefit from Ann’s experience as both an author and a teacher. She enjoys speaking with classrooms and groups about storytelling, the writing process, and how real-life experiences become meaningful stories. With years of teaching and writing experience, she also enjoys encouraging new writers and sharing practical guidance, including insights into the publishing process.
Book Clubs
Book clubs are one of Ann’s favorite ways to connect with readers. She enjoys joining book club discussions, either in person or through Zoom, and sharing conversation around the books and the experiences that shaped them.
