Anne Tannam was born in 1966 in Dublin, one of four children. Brought up on a diet of books. Went to college, became a teacher, got married, had four children. Juggled parenthood with part time work and ran around like a headless chicken for a few years. Got a diploma in life coaching, learned to stop for a while and figure out how I wanted to live. Began writing. Continued to juggle but less frantically. Kept writing, loved writing, wrote a book. Had the time of my life. Coached others who wanted to have the time of their life. Not the end. Anne has just published her first poetry collection Take This Life.
