  • Episode 45: Chat with author Michelle Levigne about ANNE, Book 2 in the Quarry Hall suspense series
    May 20 2024

    Join managing editor Tamera Lynn Kraft and marketing director Penny Frost McGinnis, chatting with author Michelle Levigne about the next title in the Quarry Hall suspense series, ANNE.

    After a rough assignment catching people out to destroy battered women's shelters, Anne needs a break. Being assigned to observe operations at Common Grounds Legal Clinic seems like a cake assignment. Xander Finley, the head lawyer, is a friend of Joan. The clinic is already supported by the Arc Foundation, so Arc is simply expanding its support.

    But then Anne is carjacked, and her guard dog, Argus, is shot. Off balance, worried about Argus, and wearing borrowed clothes, things keep getting worse. Face-to-face with someone from her painful past and feeling antagonism from Xander's employees, Anne stumbles into one problem after another. Her frustration grows when allies became enemies, and she is accused of entrapment and then attempted murder. How come prayer is her last resort, when it should have been her first reaction to every problem?
