Welcome and thank you for visiting me at www.annbandazian.com. I'm elated to met you. Please travel with me peering over your shoulder through novels, plays and essays. You'll enjoy what I call novels, history, philosophy, wisdom, love letters, fussing/fuming, bluster, giggles and laughter.
I dedicate my work with thanks and immeasurable love to Rebecca, Harry, Vazken, Lisa, Christopher, Collin, Max, Lily, Alexander, and Maggie and all those magnificent souls, past and present, who have touched and enriched my life
My special thanks to Max Bandazian who first set me on this exciting computer journey. My further thanks to Tom Mason.
When I became a public figure in 1970, I simplified my name to Ann. Before that I was named Shoghig, Nishanouhi. Neither name was ever used-- instead my parents preferred Anahid--named for the last of the red hot, all purpose Armenian godesses.
