Ann Pietrangelo

Ann Pietrangelo is the author of "No More Secs! Living, Laughing & Loving Despite Multiple Sclerosis," and "Catch That Look: Living, Laughing & Loving Despite Triple-Negative Breast Cancer." "No More Secs!" offers a glimpse into the mindset of a person diagnosed with a chronic medical condition. "Other people with MS tell me that it mirrors their own experiences," says Ann. "Some used my book to explain MS to their friends and family. Feedback like this, 'I laughed, I cried, I connected to you in a way I've connected with no one else. It was so nice to know I'm not alone,' gives me an indescribable high." The follow-up book, "Catch That Look," tells of her experiences with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), something she'd never heard of until her diagnosis. When a reader who was dealing with her own TNBC told her, "I'm passing the book on to my daughter when I finish it," she knew it was worth the effort. Ann is a freelance writer and health reporter whose work is published in consumer health publications and leading health information websites such as Healthline, Verywell Health, WebMD, Medical News Today, Self, and more.
