Press Kit

Step into the charming world of Anna Elliott and Charles Veley, a father-daughter sleuthing—er, writing—team who prove that crime-solving creativity runs in the family! These Pennsylvania-based partners in literary crime craft historical mysteries that will have you turning pages faster than you can say "whodunit."
 
Before joining forces with her father, Anna was busy weaving magical tales in her Twilight of Avalon trilogy and sending Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy on new adventures in The Pride & Prejudice Chronicles. When she's not plotting fictional mysteries, Anna can be found homeschooling her children and probably explaining why "the butler did it" isn't always the answer!

Charles, with his Sherlock Holmes obsession (we mean appreciation!), laid the groundwork for their first collaborative caper—the Sherlock & Lucy series. Anna joined the investigation from book three, bringing her flair for historical detail and strong female characters. Together, they've reimagined Baker Street's famous resident while introducing readers to the delightful Lucy James in more than 40 mysteries, proving that sometimes two heads are better than one when it comes to solving literary puzzles.

Their latest mysterious endeavor, the Homefront Sleuths series, continues their tradition of historically rich whodunits set during fascinating moments in history. Each book delivers the perfect blend of historical intrigue, captivating characters, and just enough suspense to keep you turning page after page—but not enough to spill your tea!
 
With a writing style that tips its deerstalker hat to mystery masters like Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie while adding their own modern twist, this father-daughter team creates books that are the literary equivalent of a cozy fireplace, a comfortable chair, and a plot that keeps you guessing until the very last page. Living just a stone's throw from each other in Pennsylvania (convenient for those urgent "I've solved the plot problem!" moments), their close collaboration creates mysteries that will warm your heart while exercising your little gray cells.
 
For readers who like their mysteries with equal parts history, heart, and "how on earth did they figure that out?"—the Elliott & Veley collection is the perfect addition to your bookshelf!
