It’s been fun hunting up historical notes about the area for my next book setting.  Winnowing out the little details about different peoples living in the area is interesting, especially as I focus on building a diverse cast of characters.  Did you know that in San Antonio many of the best and popular hotels in the 1800’s were run by Hispanic women?

About The Author

Annika began writing in third grade: an illustrated fanfic of the Atari game “Defender.” After filling notebooks, utterly unaware that she was a writer at heart, she abandoned her stories somewhere around her third year of college, probably when the typewriter/word processor died and was replaced by the roommate’s new 386. A ridiculous number of years later, she stumbled across a fanfic site, put fingers to keyboard, and hasn’t stopped writing since.
