About the author

Ann Walton is a longtime California Realtor who discovered that telling her absolutely ludicrous, 100% true life stories was far more entertaining than selling houses. A self-proclaimed “normal, plain ol’ person with one hell of a perspective” , Ann is the kind of woman who gets tackled by a SWAT team, chased by an ex-husband’s ex-wife off an overpass, and finds herself nearly drowning in Class Five river rapids

As a mother, she’s no different, raising her kids with a dark, pragmatic sense of humor. She learned to lie to her children about chocolate ice cream, cut the cord on their TV, and use the infamous “I’m throwing the toy out the window!” threat. When chaos erupts—and it always does—Ann is dedicated to finding the funny as an act of defiance and resilience. She currently resides in California with her seven animals, which includes one real pig.
