I'm an actor and Mum to two grown-up boys who enjoys writing when the words present themselves. I also enjoy reading, taking photographs of people and places I love and generally enjoying life. Last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer but I don't intend to let that stand in the way of enjoying life. Too much to live for!

Ann Brien's Blogs

A selection of my poems, songs and essays. Whenever words present themselves I just grab them, mix them all up and wait to see what they become.
