Annie Fox is an author of books for children and teens.

Annie loves making art, baking, gardening, photography, hiking in the San Francisco Bay Area, traveling, and, most of all, being with her husband David and her family, including Gracie the Dog.

The Little Things That Kill: A Teen Friendship Afterlife Apology Tour was her debut novel and Leeta Simtar: A Life on Two Planets is her latest.

Every author has a journey.

Mine began in childhood with the gift of a diary and the discovery that magic happens when one puts pen to paper.

The magic of whole worlds conjured out of nothing, populated by characters real enough to command their own destiny.

My love of stories and my need to create them led to the publication of my first book People Are Like Lollipops.

That simple picture book for young children, written while I was still a college student, celebrated diversity.

Many years and thirteen books later, I’m still motivated by the tremendous power of stories to help young readers develop empathy, compassion and resilience.

Through my public events for kids, teens, parents, I continue the joyful work of empowering young people through increased self-awareness and emotional intelligence skill-building.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
