Anna Lee Huber was born and raised in a small town in Ohio. From a young age, her imagination was boundless. She spent her summers with her four brothers and one sister playing Star Wars, wearing snow boots and her mothers old nightgowns while swinging plastic bats as light-sabers, and The A-Team hanging off the riding lawn mower (what else were they supposed to use for the van?). In the fourth grade, she penned her first story and asked her teacher to read it to the class. Sure, it was titled Prom Duty, and a ten-year-old doesn't really know much about high school dances, but she chalked it up as her first success. She went on to write several more stories, including a series featuring her own gang of mystery-solving teens, keeping her pen moving despite teenage hormones and a cross-country move to South Carolina.

Having dreamed of becoming a Rock Star, more along the lines of Amy Grant than Britney Spears, Anna attended college in Music City USA Nashville, Tennessee. There, she met her husband while acting in a school production of Our Town. They married just before she graduated summa cum laude from Lipscomb University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and a minor in Psychology. Discovering she was better trained to sing opera than Top 40, and uncertain where her future lay, she found work as an administrative assistant while she tried to find herself again.

The Resurrectionist (2024)
A Rae Dunlap
"Brilliantly researched and beautifully written. Dunlap expertly captures the history and cadence of the era, and the thrill and elation of discovery during the Enlightenment, as well as the dark and twisted depths that are the byproducts of progress. A clever tale filled with macabre intrigue and personal revelation."

Murder in Highbury (2024)
(Emma Knightley Mystery, book 1)
Vanessa Kelly
"Jane Austen fans and mystery readers alike will revel in this return to Highbury and the chance to catch up with the lives of Emma and Mr. Knightley (now wed) and all of its memorable residents. It turns out Emma's natural inclination to meddle has not been entirely curbed by her new husband, and a good thing, too, for murder most foul has come to Highbury, and Emma will need all of her considerable wits to solve it. Charming and clever, this delightful homage hits all the right notes."
thumb
The Colony Club (2024)
Shelley Noble
"A fascinating look into the history and personalities behind the Colony Club - the first women's club of its kind. Noble skillfully brings her characters and setting to life, spinning a tale that is both poignant and startlingly relevant. She shines a light on three women and their achievements who should be better known. Simply enthralling."
