Anna K Payne

Anna works from home and has three adult children, one grandchild, and a multi-generational household. She lives with three cats and a workaholic husband.

She comes from a family of writers. Her mom, her grandmother, and several other family members are engaged in the art of writing.

She does ask the advice of her cats. “They have good ideas,” she says. The world around her offers a variety of sinister plots, even if it is just someone waiting for the bus.

Why the Cozy Mystery series? Anna says she felt overwhelmed with her storylines being too serious. Enter an introverted IT coder, Emily, and a lonely black cat, Jeffrey. Together, they make a home, and their lives fill with companionship with too much excitement.
