Annie Kirkwood, author of the best-selling book, Mary's Message to the World, lives in Northeastern Oklahoma with her husband Byron Kirkwood. In 1986, Annie began communicating with a group of spiritual entities that call themselves the Brotherhood of God (commonly known as an outreach of the Holy Ghost), after reading Jean Foster's book, The God-Mind Connection. In 1987, Annie began to feel a very real presence in her home and experienced the smell of roses. An incredible experience began when Mary, the Mother of Jesus, called to Annie. Not being Catholic, Annie thought this was a mistake. She began a dialogue telling the Blessed Mother that she wasn't Catholic and didn't wish to convert. After several such experiences, Annie said, "I think you've made a mistake, I'm not Catholic." Mary responded with, "Nor am I."

From the beginning Mary charged Annie with a message that was for the world. Thus began an amazing conversation that became the book, Mary's Message to the World, which is now available in over a dozen foreign languages.

Annie has been a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) since 1965. Annie and Byron are a blended family, having between them five sons, three grandsons, a grand-daughter, and a great grand-daughter. They publish a bi-monthly newsletter, "Mary's Message/Newsletter." Annie and Byron have a catalog mail order business, marketing products for spiritual advancement and emergency preparedness. Annie travels giving talks, workshops and seminars. Having been urged by Mary to "Live the message," the Blessed Mother has directed Annie to encourage people to do the same. Annie speaks from the heart about her experience and her personal dedication to spiritual growth and healing.
