Quotations:
"When I was young, I developed a strange habit - I would read anything. I read books, newspapers, magazines, and when those were in short supply, I turned to receipts, cereal boxes and soup cans. My collection of books grew to enormous proportions, and I learned to read even faster to get through new ones. My favorite authors couldn't write fast enough to keep me in books. To fill my time I tried a variety of hobbies, but inevitably I found myself bored to tears. It finally occurred to me, that maybe I should try writing. By writing, I could not only stay busy, but also tell the kinds of stories I loved to read. It was a wonderful and fateful day. Now I write as obsessively as I read. In another few years, I may even be good at it."
"I am very happy with my success in the children's market so far, as I think children have a great need for good stories. If a child learns to love books, when he is young, the habit will stay with him for life, enriching that life with bits of wisdom, humor, joy and just plain fun."
Annette is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

Annette married Detlef Griessman, an electrical engineer, on December 22, 1984. Their marriage produced two children - Alex and Kayla.
