About Anne Doll: Behind the scenes, the mind at work

An introvert that loves to entertain. That is Anne's definition of an author. The first piece of the puzzle involves a plan. Anne takes inspiration from people she has met in real life interactions, from her life experiences and then creates a story plan adding suppostions, dilema and intrigue. The joy comes from creating characters and filling out thier lives, thier dreams and thier personalities. The imagination is a vast playground. After there is a plan and the characters what comes next? That is where Anne takes you. We go along for the story. What are these characters up to and why do they need to hide thier motives. Why does evil take hold in some, but not others and pushes some to the greatest peril of the soul, murder? Anne's series is around murder and mayhem that happen in the world of environmental scandal. Where there is money to be made, there is tempatation to trample on the weaker of us and leave a swath of damage behind. Exposing the perpatrators of the damage and seeing justice done is the aim of all mystery writers. Or is it? 

"My love for writing came from reading. The wonderful world of escape and wonder infiltrating the lives of others. What a great purpose, to share my joy of the human imagination!"     Anne Doll
