She and her husband, Mark, are NFP Promoters for the Couple to Couple League and support Catholic family life on many levels. The idea for Come My Beloved came about on Valentine’s Day in 2009. A group of mothers, including Kathy, were enjoying one another’s fellowship as their children played and exchanged cards. Each mother began to share how they met their husbands. Realizing that God’s hand was truly present in bringing each couple together, Kathy remarked, “It’s too bad there isn’t a book available with Catholic courtship stories.”  Two years later, her idea has become a reality. book cover ANGELA’S SONG coming OCT 2012 AnnMarie Creedon lives near Kansas City, Missouri, with her husband and five children.  When she's not writing or teaching her children, AnnMarie enjoys cooking, reading and singing in her church choir.  She blogs as The Roman(tic) Catholic (www.annmariecreedon.com) and is an occasional contributor to the Catholic Sistas blog.
