We are all heartbroken over her loss. Particularly her husband, Cameron, and her two daughters.

I recently received a large number of emails and messages asking about the fate of the second novel in my Gothic Myths series. I know it has been a long time coming, and I'm thrilled so many of you are anxious to read the next installment in the series. So I decided to post this blog to provide everyone with a broader update on the series.

Never before had so many lives been lost in so short a time. There were few people in the main combatant countries who were not directly affected by the death of a friend or loved one, and many suffered staggering losses. Families lost multiple sons. Entire villages were deprived of nearly all their young men.

To make matters worse, most people ...

After deciding that the heroine of my newest historical mystery series—Verity Kent—had worked in the foreign division of the British Secret Service during the Great War, it wasn’t long before I determined I also wanted her to have served in some capacity abroad, perhaps even behind enemy lines.

In 1919 England, in the shadow of The Great War, many look to the spirit world for answers. But it will take an all too earthbound intrigue to draw in the discerning heroine of Anna Lee Huber’s latest mystery . . . 
It’s not that Verity Kent doesn’t sympathize with those eager to make contact with lo...
