Bio: Growing up in a large midwestern family with four brothers and one much younger sister, Anna Lee Huber spent more of her childhood playing GI Joe than Barbie. However, she quickly realized the best adventures always included some element of mystery and romance. She honed her creative talents, as well as the skills essential to surviving a house full of boys, by playing Star Wars using plastic bats as light-sabers, and The A-Team hanging off the riding lawn mower. (What else were they going to use for the van?) And indulged her obsession with words by reading every Nancy Drew and Baby-sitter’s Club book she could get her hands on. In 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 cross-country moves. 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 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance. 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. While pondering her choices, Anna rediscovered her need for creative expression. She began arranging music, and returned to her love of writing fiction. Now penning historical mysteries for Berkley Publishing, she eagerly awaits the publication of her first book in the Lady Darby Series, scheduled for release in November 2012. Anna currently lives in Indiana with her husband and troublemaking tabby cat, Pita. She is hard at work on Lady Darby Book 2.
