Glass Flowers and Diamond Stickpins

Noe, Mary Ann: - After earning Bachelor and Master's degrees, Mary Ann Noe spent 29 years in Waukesha classrooms, first teaching 7th grade language arts and social studies, followed by high school English and psychology. Upon retirement, she joined a writing workshop where she reinvented herself as an author. Mary Ann publishes novels through Black Rose Writing. Her non-fiction essays and poetry are in numerous print and online magazines. She spends time reading anything she can get her hands on, writing, and baking (and eating the results). Happily enjoying their grandchildren, she and her husband reside in Wisconsin where she watches with dismay as the deer eat the flowers in the garden. Learn more at www.maryannnoe.com.
