I was so honored to receive the 2009 Songwriter of the Year award!  Just being included with the great writers that were nominated for this award was enough for me.  I never expected to win. 

But since I did win, I'm taking this award as God's way of saying, "Ann, get busy writing!"  I hope I won't disappoint Him. :-)

Thanks so much for the encouragement!

As a songwriter, I am so honored to have the title cut - LIFE GETS LOUD - on Mark Lowry's new CD released Feb. 2009.  I co-wrote the song with Scooter Simmons.  Please click on "our songs" and take a listen to LIFE GETS LOUD.
