Mary Anna Evans is an award-winning author, she's a writing professor, and she holds degrees in physics and engineering, a background that, as it turns out, is ideal for writing her new series, the Justine Byrne historical mysteries, which began with THE PHYSICISTS' DAUGHTER. The current title, THE TRAITOR BESIDE HER, takes Justine undercover in a Washington, DC code-breaking operation during World War II. Mary Anna describes Justine as “a little bit Rosie-the-Riveter and a little bit Bletchley Park code breaker.”
Mary Anna's crime fiction has earned recognition that includes the Oklahoma Book Award, the Will Rogers Medallion Awards Gold Medal, the Mississippi Author Award, the Benjamin Franklin Award, and spots ON "Best Of" lists as varied as Voice of Young America’s (VOYA), TRUE WEST, and THE STRAND. In addition to writing crime fiction, she writes about crime fiction, as evidenced by the Edgar, Agatha, Macavity, and HRF Keating Award nominated BLOOMSBURY HANDBOOK TO AGATHA CHRISTIE, which she coedited with J.C. Bernthal.
