Anna Katharine Green

Learn more about Anna Katharine Green here. Before Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, nine years before Arthur Conan Doyle’s infamous Sherlock Holmes, there was a female author of American detective fiction whose stories were so clever and well-informed that when they were published people didn’t believe they could have been written by a woman. This was Anna Katharine Green. Her character Miss Amelia Butterworth would inspire Christie’s creation, Miss Marple, and her novel The Forsaken Inn was the first historical mystery. My favorite novels include The Leavenworth Case and That Affair Next Door.

My husband Andrew D Meredith‘s Slavic fantasy Thrice

“Steeped in a wealth of brooding Slavic folklore, Thrice is a deeply personal story of a reluctant father and the mysterious child in his care. It beautifully weaves a tale of personal survival with a much grander narrative of ill-fated bargains and dangerous magic of the past to tell a story that’s both intimate and epic.”

— Graham McNeill, New York Times Bestselling Author of A Thousand Sons

Forced out on the road with the boy left in his care, Jovan determines to journey into the cave of the bear—to seek out those that would do him and his boy harm. It is the boy and his bottomless well of soul-searing magic that they seek. They would do anything to exploit it. And Jovan would do anything to stop them.

Thrice is the first book in the Needle and Leaf series. Now available for pre-order wherever books are sold!
