Ann Colby has been a Florida resident since 1960. She grew up in Orlando, attended the University of Florida, received her bachelor’s degree in religion in 1973 and graduated from the University of Florida Law School in 1976. After serving as a local government counsel for forty-two years in the Central Florida area, she retired in 2016 with her husband, Bill MacLeod, to St. Augustine, a city she visited many times over the course of her life in Florida. She now spends her time doing historical research in St. Augustine and acting as a tour guide to the wicked aspects of the City of St. Augustine. She is quite proud that her book Wicked St. Augustine, which details the history of prostitution, gambling and bootlegging in the Oldest City, is now used as a textbook in the history department of Flagler College and was the primary source material for St. Augustine’s recent study of Historical Districts in the city.
