Growing up on a steady diet of Murder She Wrote and Nancy Drew, it wasn’t until Anna left her twenty-year teaching career that she realized she might be able to write her own mystery.

In the fall of 2014, she enlisted in her second attempt at National Novel Writing Month using her new surroundings in Coastal Carolina for the setting of a small-town murder mystery.

Now, Anna has four novels published, with the next book in the Crystal Coast Case Series due out this summer, and a new novel featuring Will & Cleo from Sight in the Dark coming out this winter.

You can sign up for her newsletter (below) to receive updates and info on release dates. You can also give her a follow on any or all of the socials (@AMIalacci on FaceBook, Twitter, and Instagram).

Anna is the winner of the Occasions, Just Write Writing Contest 2018, and a runner up in the Writer’s Domain One Sentence Story Contest 2018.
