Author Spotlight: Ann Brashares

It is the end of August and the end of my first ever Author Spotlight.

Just a little bio...
Ann Brashares grew up in the Washington D.C. area and went to New York City to attend Barnard College (a part of Columbia University). After college she took up some editorial jobs until 2000. At this time she started her first novel, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Currently she has six novels published.
