Author Bio:
Anne Fox lives in El Paso along with six chickens, a pond full of goldfish, two Maine Coon cats, and a full-blooded alley cat. She enjoys many hobbies, including crafts, gardening, and rockhounding. When not writing, she practices her marksmanship skills and draws upon that for her crime/suspense series, The Unit. Also the holder of a Commercial pilot’s license, she once ran her own flight school and trained many people to fly, having over 6,000 flight hours recorded in her pilot logbooks.
Anne began writing in 2019 with her debut book, Gabriel’s Call—a stand-alone novel about a woman believed to be schizophrenic and her doctor. It’s the only stand-alone and the only metaphysical book she has penned. She then segued into the crime/suspense genre, with now 21 books to The Unit series and number 22 being written.
Anne created her own publishing company, Star on the Mountain Books, and is the proverbial “chief cook and bottle washer” there: writing, editing, formatting, and proofreading her own books as well as books for others.
Doing extensive research for all of her The Unit series books keeps her busy as well. She tries her best to portray a realistic account of both the action within each book and focuses strongly on the human side of the characters. Readers will share her characters’ inner thoughts, fears, and desires as she paints them with an emotional brush to bring them alive. Asked why she writes, she often responds with, “Because my characters insist that I tell their stories.” They all hope her readers will find their stories interesting.
