A native of Logan, Utah and a graduate of Utah State University, Annette Haws examines the tribulations and foibles of characters playing their parts on a small stage. She did honors graduate work in American Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Iowa and the University of Utah, and she has participated in numerous workshops: Writers at Work, Summer Fiction workshops at the University of Iowa, and Robert McKee’s STORY workshop.

She taught seventh grade English, senior English, and everything in between. She coached debate and mock trials teams and garnered four state championship awards. However, she swears she will never ride on a school bus with adolescents again, ever.

Ms. Haws and her husband Charles currently reside in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. They have four above average children--whose life experiences Ms. Haws has shamelessly mined--and five hilarious grandchildren. Ms. Haws is delighted to participate in book clubs in person or via Skype and Zoom.
