Ann PrehnAnn Prehn spent her late teens and early twenties in Greenwich Village where she hob-nobbed with musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and BB King. In 1969, determined to see San Francisco before it fell into the ocean, she boarded a standby light with one suitcase and four pathetically drugged cats in a cat carrier. All survived. Ann lived with musician Van Morrison's band and studied film before returning briefly to Greenwich Village in 1972. Back in California, she did photography for Governor Jerry Brown, opened the Fifth Avenue Photographers studio on Fifth Avenue in San Rafael, and published Fifth Avenue Magazine. In Lake County CA, she raised a daughter, wrote for and edited The Harbin Quarterly Magazine, and was an historian for Harbin Hot Springs - one of the last of Ye Olde Utopian Communities - until it burned down in 2015. A trained hypnotherapist and New Age minister, her hobbies include teaching trance and symbolism, raising chickens, and cooking with acorns. She currently resides in Bellingham WA as she waits to rebuild her burned down house in CA. This is her first novel. Read More Read Less
