About the Lady Anne Addison Mystery Series: LADY ANNE ADDISON, plain and feisty Georgian-era spinster, is nobody’s fool. So when a newly-married friend writes to her that there is a werewolf loose near her new home in Yorkshire, and it threatens to tear them all apart, she is skeptical. Logic dictates that tales of the supernatural are told to fool the frightened and frighten the foolish. As she is neither frightened nor foolish, she will look for rational explanations. But is everything so easily explained as all that? Her natural good sense tells her that the mysterious Marquess of Darkefell (her friend’s new brother-in-law) – as alluring and attractive as she finds him – is hiding something. Whether it is something sinister or merely secret, she isn’t sure. But she intends to find out. Follow the indomitable Lady Anne as she travels England hunting werewolves, ghostbusting and exposing gypsy curses, all accompanied by her intelligent maid, Mary, Mary’s son, Wee Robbie, and her enormous and determined cat, Irusan.

Lady Anne and the Howl in the Dark Lady Anne Addison Mystery #1     After receiving a distressing letter from a friend, Lady Anne Addison wastes no time in traveling to Yorkshire to offer whatever help she can. She has no idea what she’ll find there, but she certainly wasn’t expecting to be met by tales of a werewolf terrorizing the area — nor the dead body she discovers upon arriving. Driven by curiosity and a keen intelligence, Lady Anne dismisses the notion of such a beast, but she’s nonetheless drawn into the mysteries by the secrecy surrounding her friend and the infuriating yet enticing Lord Darkefell.     With a murderer on the loose and the supposed werewolf ravaging livestock and terrifying the locals, Lady Anne puts her reservations aside and joins forces with the seductive Darkefell to get to the bottom of things. And though his nearness is a tempting distraction, Lady Anne manages to uncover one clue after another, unraveling the mysteries and drawing ever closer to the killer, even while her true feelings for the enigmatic marquess elude her . . . Originally published under the name Donna Lea Simpson.

Forced once again to work with the marquess to uncover the truth behind a mystery, she soon discovers that her passionate attraction to him has not abated.

There was never a time when I didn't want to be a writer, and it was how I always defined myself. But even when I wasn't writing -- which at first was most of the time! -- I was reading. Since the moment my mom handed me an Agatha Christie book when I was twelve, I've been a devoted mystery fan, and the passion lives on! It may seem odd, then, that I started my writing career as a Regency romance author, gradually moving to the paranormal romance, and then historical mystery writing. I truly enjoyed my time writing romance, and I believe that it was the perfect training ground to force me to focus on creating character. But the urge to write and become published in mysterty still held me captive. I finally achieved my life's dream with the publication of the first Vintage Kitchen Mystery: A Deadly Grind, in May of 2012. Aside from writing, I have a lot of hobbies and passions. I collect vintage bowls, especially Pyrex and kitchen utensils. I also have a sizable collection of teacups. Cooking and baking muffins -- of course! -- are beloved pastimes. I have the best friends and family in the world, and I am passionately fond of tea and anything sweet, especially brownies ;-) I enjoy hobbies: crochet, cross-stitch, and beading, among other crafts. But writing takes precedence over everything, and I truly love hearing from readers, treasuring the friends I've made over the years! So... drop me a line anytime!
