"Ruby's Studio:The Feelings Show" with Mel Brooks!

I am very proud to announce the release of a 45 minute live-action show that I wrote and developed! It is for kids 3-6 and teaches how to name and identify feelings- something we could all remember to pay more attention to! Order one from the website through the link below!

Authors Ann and Jack Bradt complete debut novel

After nearly three years, Lil' and Bill, Dad and my debut novel is...readable! Any takers? We are looking for a copy editor before navigating the publishing process.

Shack Update

The Shack exterior and interior was completed November 24, 2009 just in time for arrival of Thanksgiving week visitors Abbie Longero and Julie and Charlie Malinsky-Adams. 3 cords of wood were unloaded onto the porch and under the deck. I've settled in and enjoy making my morning coffee on the stove, writing in the loft and sunsets thru the westward facing windows. More pictures to come.

Shack Chic

My dream get-away would look a little something like this. It would be surrounded by trees, have electricity, but no plumbing, lots of light and a wood burning stove.

At Home Everywhere

Sometimes I feel most at home in motion...trains, planes, bikes, on horseback or clicking my heels down the streets of NYC. Life is good. The rolling stone...yada yada...

Counting my Blessings

My dear sweet NYC friends are taking such good care of me as I move back and forth in my gypsy year between Madison and NY.
