About the author:
Andromeda Romano-Lax is the author of The Spanish Bow, a New York Times Editors’ Choice that has been translated into eleven languages, The Detour, Behave, and Plum Rains, as well as numerous works of nonfiction. She teaches creative writing and is a co-founder of 49 Writers, a statewide literary organization. She lives on Vancouver Island.
In her latest novel, Annie and the Wolves, historian Ruth McClintock is obsessed with Annie Oakley and trying to prove that the legendary sharpshooter suffered a scarring childhood event that drove her crusade to arm every American woman. Ruth has finally managed to hunt down what may be Oakley’s journal, which details secret visits to a psychoanalyst and the desire for vengeance against the “Wolves,” or those who have wronged her. As Ruth attempts to establish the journal’s provenance, she begins to have jarring out-of-body episodes that are possibly parallel to Annie’s own lived experiences. As she solves Annie’s mysteries, she also confronts her own, from the reasons behind her teenage sister’s suicide to a tragedy in her Minnesota town that she may be able to prevent.
