edit data

In a past life, Ann Adams was a junior national champion, national medalist, and resident of the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, New York. She competed in sprint kayaking—a sport that’s a lot like rowing, except kayakers face the right direction and no one has ever heard of them. Today, she lives in Sacramento, California, where she spends most of her time analyzing public policy and going for moderate hikes with her husband and overly enthusiastic cockapoo. Mostly, though, she’s writing stories—especially those about women falling in love and finding their power.

Ann Adams liked Bobbie Adams's review of Under the Orchard's Spell: A Novel: "There are some books that transport you to another world, and Under the Orchard Spell did something even more special for me—it brought me home.

Grace Reilly absolutely knows what she's doing. Jack is all hard edges and short answers, but never a caricature. Poppy is a slightly chaotic, in-over-her-head, tenacious delight of a heroine. Their dynamic is... dare I say chef's kiss? And the kitch ...more

Maggie North has done it again, and this time she's doing it in the Montana dirt. The paleontology in Fossil Feud is load-bearing with fossil-hunting, academic fraud, and identity tangled in a discovery. All of it matters and all of it feels like t ...more
