ABOUT ANNE FRYE As a student midwife in 1978, I noted the dearth of comprehensive literature aimed at midwives. There was virtually nothing written on suturing at that time. References on laboratory analysis were woefully inadequate to begin with, and almost entirely lacking information about how test results might be impacted by pregnancy or what these changes may indicate. While still in clinical training, I began a chapter on the Complete blood count and my writing mushroomed from there. When I left school, Rahima Baldwin, founder of Informed Homebirth, Inc. offered me the opportunity to bring what I had learned to other midwives via extensive midwifery skills workshops. The writing I had done up until then became the handouts for those workshops. Soon, midwives who had not taken the workshops began to request these handouts, so we printed overruns and sold them through Moonflower Birthing Supply. When those ran out, the requests just kept coming. In 1983 rewrote Lab Work and printed 500 copies. Those sold fast. I vowed not to do more writing until I had a computer. The requests for the 4th edition of Lab Work were pouring in so fast, I just stopped writing when I thought I could, printed it, and immediately started on the 5th edition. Demand for the other books has grown in a similar fashion. At present, I am writing full time with the goal of completing the 3 volume series for Holistic Midwifery.
