SkipJack Publishing Announces Release of New Romantic Mystery from Award-winning, Best-selling Author Pamela Fagan Hutchins
Houston, TX – Award-winning author Pamela Fagan Hutchins—recently named by the Houston Press as one of Houston’s Top 10 Authors— and SkipJack Publishing announce the November 4, 2016 release of Hutchins’ romantic mystery, Fighting for Anna (ISBN 978-1-939889-39-3), the eighth novel in the best-selling What Doesn’t Kill You series.
About Fighting for Anna: Michele retreats to the country while her teens are away for the summer, to write the memoirs of her elderly neighbor Gidget—a reclusive former Houston art gallery owner—and learn how to be alone in the wake of her husband’s death. But when Gidget dies unexpectedly, she leaves everything to Michele except a bequest to a daughter no one knew existed. Suddenly, Michele’s country quiet is shattered, and half of Texas shows up: some to help, some to contest the will, and others to make sure the mystery daughter is never found alive.
Fighting for Anna is a tightly plotted and fast-paced romantic head-scratcher that dives into 80s pop culture, a reclusive religious community, and high stakes politics. Readers fell in love with protagonist, Michele, when she debuted in Going for Kona and they won’t be disappointed by her encore in Fighting for Anna. Fans of the series will enjoy appearances by beloved characters, Katie, Rashidi, Annabelle and Sam, plus get to know new favorites like Lumpy, Maggie and Gertrude.
The What Doesn’t Kill You romantic mystery series has earned many awards: Winner in the Cross Genre Fiction category of the 2015 USA Best Book Awards for Heaven to Betsy (#5), 2014 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest (Quarter-finalist, Romance) for Finding Harmony (#3), and the Romance category in the 2010 Writers’ League of Texas Manuscript Competition for Leaving Annalise (#2), among others.
“I like complex characters with rich histories and complicated right-nows. That’s where all this good stuff comes in,” said Hutchins in reference to the eighth installment of the What Doesn’t Kill You romantic mystery series. Fighting for Anna takes readers on a journey through grief, healing, love, new relationships and old secrets all while keeping you entertained with Hutchins’ characteristic humor.
Pamela Fagan Hutchins writes overly long e-mails, award-winning and best-selling romantic mysteries, and hilarious nonfiction from deep in the heart of Nowheresville, Texas and way up in the frozen north of Snowheresville, Wyoming. She is passionate about great writing and smart authorpreneurship as well as long hikes with her hunky husband and pack of rescue dogs, riding her gigantic horses, experimenting with her Keurig, and traveling in the Bookmobile.
