Ann Campanella is a former magazine and newspaper editor and is the author of three memoirs and four collections of poetry. Her award-winning writing has appeared in newspapers, magazines, literary journals and online sites across the country and around the world. Her first memoir, Motherhood: Lost and Found, was named “One of the best Alzheimer’s books of all time” by BookAuthority two years in a row.
Since 2017, Ann has been a manager/director of AlzAuthors.com, a nonprofit organization with the mission of sharing Alzheimer’s and dementia resources to light the way for others. In 2018, she was recognized by her hometown newspaper as one of the Most Influential Women in her community for her work promoting Alzheimer’s awareness.
Ann’s second memoir, Celiac Mom, won the 2024 Silver Medal in the Nonfiction/Health category of the Readers’ Favorite International Book Award. This book has become a “go-to” resource for the celiac community.
A social-media influencer, Ann uses her Instagram account @glutenfreeforgood to spread awareness about this condition. Ann’s most recent book, The Shoulder Season: A Memoir of Fracture and Grace, shares her experience of going from a caregiver to someone who needed care after a serious injury.
Ann hopes it will provide hope and inspiration to those facing a season of health challenges. Ann and her husband live on Lake Norman in North Carolina and enjoy nightly sunsets.
About "The Shoulder Season":
After decades of being physically fit, riding and training horses, Ann’s life skids to a stop when a seemingly innocuous accident (tripping over the dog) turns into a traumatic injury that shrinks her world. She succumbs to severe pain and faces difficult surgeries that require a two-year recovery.
On the brink of an empty nest, a few months before the pandemic, Ann is no longer the busy caregiver who juggles her family’s needs along with her writing work and caring for her farm but becomes the person who needs care. Ann must discover a new identity and reimagine her future.
The Shoulder Season serves as a guide and an inspiration for those facing a life interrupted.
