Anastasia Hastings has, over a thirty-year-career, published over sixty novels in a number of different genres and under a number of names―Miss Hermione would approve. She is a Sherlock Holmes devotee and a Victorian England aficionado, and she enjoys learning about history as it applies to the everyday lives of the people who lived it. She lives outside of Cleveland with her husband, David, and her Airedale, Eliot Ness.
