Anna SchmidtMeet Anna Henkens Schmidt-storyteller, sister, and the voice behind the words. Originally from the Pine Ridge region of western Nebraska, Anna grew up in the same small town as her older brother, Donald Osborn. While Don supplied the stories, Anna gae them shape on the page, turning childhood mischief and aviation adventures into published works.An award-winning journalist turned homeschool mom turned author, Anna now lives in North Carolina with her high school sweetheart and their three children. Her writing journey began in the newsroom and later found new direction at the kitchen table, squeezed between grammar lessons and lunch breaks. Together with Donald, she co-authored Where We Land: A Pilot's Reflections at Altitude and Where We Land: A Boy, A Plane, and a Dream, an illustrated children's book.The Ding Dong Altar Boy marks another chapter in their creative partnership, bringing to life the wild, funny, and true stories from a Nebraska childhood. When she's not writing, Anna can be found reading, experimenting in the kitchen, walking the dog, or dreaming up the next great project-usually with coffee in hand and a to-do list close by.
