Ann Alexander

Ann Alexander, an avid reader, she authored the book, ‘The Troubadour’s Collection’. Her keen objective on the release of this book is that people should develop their vocabulary in a fun way. Books have always fascinated her, and as she progressed to the next level of novels, she realized that if we do not understand particular words, we may ignore it, but we might be missing on the complete different meaning of the sentence, which is not what we anticipated or it is a key word to the entire storyline. Every word makes a difference. Other than reading, she also likes singing and composing songs, which are her ways of expressing herself. She likes to express her ideas, in ways which people will find them valuable and useful and she also wants to encourage people to do the same.
