Ann Bancroft, author of Almost Family, began writing fiction after a career in journalism and communications. Her first job after graduating from UC Berkeley was as “copy boy” at the Oakland Tribune, at a time when there were few women in the newsroom. She soon was promoted to the city room, and later worked in the State Capitol bureaus of the San Francisco Chronicle and the Associated Press, While a mother to a young son, she stayed home to freelance for magazines and op-ed pages, ghostwrote two nonfiction books and co-wrote, with Father Dan Madigan, Many Hands, Many Miracles, the history of Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services (University of Notre Dame press). She's been an editorial writer, speechwriter, journalism teacher and communications director. Ann is an alumna of the Community of Writers and the Tomales Bay Writers Workshops. In addition to working on her second novel, Ann leads workshops to help writers find their voice and generate story ideas. A two-time breast cancer survivor, she has mentored dozens of cancer patients through the UC Davis Cancer Center and a local breast cancer organization. She and her husband live in Sacramento and Coronado, California.
