Adrienne Morris is author of the deeply moving epic novel The House on Tenafly Road (Historical Novel Society Editor’s Choice). “I love classic literary and historical fiction like Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind, Laila Ibrahim's Yellow Crocus and Sara Gruen’s Water for Elephants and aim to give readers sweeping historical tales filled with characters to love, hate and sympathize with.” Adrienne lives on a small farm with her mini horse and sheep.

I have excavated and analyzed more blue-and-white ceramics than I can probably count!
