A. B. England

A. B. England was born and raised in rural north Alabama and lives there with her husband today.  The eldest child in her family, England’s earliest years were spent making up stories to amuse herself.  The wonderfully interesting people and varied culture of the region provide much of the inspiration for her characters, and the local landscapes developed themselves into her settings.

England comes from a long line of natural storytellers.  Holidays were spent listening to parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles tell about things that had happened in their childhoods or just the other day.  She followed in the tradition by beginning to tell her own stories, real and imagined, to her cousins and friends.  Their enjoyment of the tales caused her to fall in love with the art and encouraged her to study it further.
