LONG BIOGRAPHY:
Silicon Valley author Ann Bridges is a native of Chicago and graduate of Stanford University. Settling in San Jose, she embarked on a challenging career spanning operations, finance, and marketing executive positions in the exploding convergence of the technology, communications, and entertainment industries.
A published author of both acclaimed fiction and non-fiction with a style that appeals to both genders, her debut Silicon Valley novel Private Offerings was named a Top 10 Best Business Book; its sequel, Rare Mettle, has proven its relevancy as a lead-in to her most recent non-fiction book Groundbreaking! America’s New Quest for Mineral Independence, co-authored with respected geologist Dr. Ned Mamula. A new series of Daring California novels begins with another mining and freedom theme with National Pen Women’s Award winning, Kit’s Mine, designed as a sweeping pioneer romance to attract more women to the significance of gold rushes then and now. Her shorter pieces include Shinny’s Journal: The Story of Why, co-authored with Phil Roth, and Mercury’s “Fake” Message. She is also a contributor and columnist for Townhall, National Review, Washington Times, The Hill, Capital Research Center, and LaCorte News.
