Writers League of The Villages presents- Frank Lancione and Anne Heathman

Frank A. Lancione is the 2022-2023 President of the Writers League of The Villages, originator and producer of Wine and Words, a monthly literary talk show presented in The Villages, and author and producer of the popular It Happened in The Villages Murder Mystery! play series. 

Frank's book, Sunset Years: Poems for Seniors Who Still Love Life and Each Other, was published in late 2022.  Within weeks it achieved status as a " Hot New Read" in Amazon's American Poetry, Contemporary Poetry, and Poetry Anthologies categories. Villages Neighbors Magazine, by Best Version Media, is currently publishing a one-year long series of Frank's articles under the title: Looking for America. This series chronicles a three-month,10,000 mile RV trip around the United States Frank and his wife completed in 2021.  The articles reflect on what Frank and his wife learned about the physical beauty of our country, but more importantly what the trip taught them about being an American in a time of great philosophic and cultural divide in our nation. 

Anne Heathman is the author of the Tomorrow Romance Series. Her three Tomorrow books tell the story of CIA Special Ops leader Zach Acevedo and the love of his life, Arianna Garrett. Set in the middle East, these lovers battle fanatic terrorists and love’s complications and contradictions over three fast-paced, adventure packed tales.   

Ann was born in Fort Wayne, IN, a small farming community in the Midwest. For twenty years, she taught middle school and worked in the dual role of a digital age literacy coach and educational consultant. She retired early from teaching and moved to Florida where she began a new career as a professional dog trainer. In 2013 she penned her first book, Deny Tomorrow. She currently lives in sunny Florida where she trains dogs and writes.
