Annesophia Richards

After spending a decade as an English teacher in Florida, Annesophia moved to Wilmington three years ago to be closer to family. She now spends her time freelance writing and raising her two small, very energetic children. She loves exploring all that makes North Carolina such a beautiful state, and she also enjoys traveling as much as family and time allow. Her writing appears in various parenting and local area publications. In her free time, she reads, runs, and competes in creative writing contests. She has received awards for several pieces of flash fiction. Her ability to tell a good tale is a talent that she uses nightly when tucking her kids in with a bedtime story.
