Ann Anderson Evans is the author of two memoirs, THE SWEET PAIN OF BEING ALIVE (Austin Macauley, 2024) and DARING TO DATE AGAIN (SheWrites 2014), the 2016 winner of IPPY (Independent Book Publishers), NextGeneration, and International Book Awards. Hailed as "stark, unflinching, intensely personal, and powerfully written," THE SWEET PAIN OF BEING ALIVE, takes us on a remarkable journey. Ann finds humor and irony as she uncovers why—after thirteen happily married years—her beloved husband Terry killed himself. The senior sex educator, Joan Price writes, "I loved this book, and I’m grateful to Ann Anderson Evans for having the courage to write it. I feel enriched by having read it.” DARING TO DATE AGAIN is the witty, insightful, and profound account of what happened when she started dating again at 60. She began her adventures dancing with a delightful transvestite, her first real date in twelve years was with a policeman 25 her junior, she traveled to Zimbabwe to spend a month with a man she knew only through emails, and landed, in the end, close to home. Evans is working on a third memoir, THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY, which follows her as a young woman immersing herself in different cultures in a search for a more fulfilling life than the one she was leading in New York. She continues her teaching career with WRITING WORKSHOPS that draw on her decades of meditation training and her eight years of teaching freshman English at Montclair State University. She has appeared on numerous radio shows, was featured on the Discovery Channel’s Sex in America, and was on the cover of Eldr magazine's issue on "Sex and Intimacy over the Age of Sixty.” Her writing has been published widely in both literary and academic journals.
