Martha Pratt was born in a public house in London's Wapping neighborhood. At seventeen, she was falsely accused of theft and sentenced to be transported to America as an indentured servant. Torn from everything and everyone she'd known and loved, she fought her pain, fear, and despair. Along the way she mended the tattered remnants of her life.
In 1992, she received the Maryland Society of Professional Journalists' Excellence in Journalism award for Human Interest for her Annapolitan article, "Do You Know What I Have Been," a history of the Black community in Annapolis. Her children's histories, The World Turned Upside Down, recounting the story of the Revolutionary War in Annapolis, and Leonard Calvert and the Maryland Adventure, were often used in elementary schools.
A founding member of the Annapolis History Consortium, she produced scripts for the group's five-year commemoration of Annapolis during the Civil War, 2011 to 2015. By then, Ann was at work on her first novel. Set in Georgian England and colonial Annapolis, A Daughter of Wapping weaves her extensive knowledge of early Annapolis with elements of her family's history into the engaging story of seventeen-year-old Martha Pratt.
Ann lives in Annapolis not far from where her story takes place.
