Anna Paxton can usually be found on her porch with a cup of coffee and her laptop as she creates her world of evil villains and strong heroines. Her creative muses come in the form of her villainous cat and three heroic dogs who act out the "murder" scenes for her.

When not on her porch, she might be anywhere, as she loves to head down the highway in her motorhome with those furry heroes and villain to the peaceful world of nature. She finds witnessing a sunrise breaking the horizon over a pristine lake inspirational.

The odd thing is all that natural beauty and tranquility motivates her to write about murder and mayhem.
