Showcasing: Melange Writing Duo- Ken Hicks and Anne Rothman- Hicks’s - Jane Larson series of mystery/thriller novels.



So I have something really special for you today. The Melange Books, unique writing team of, Anne Rothman- Hicks and Ken Hicks.
So how did it all begin?



Back in 1969, Anne was a graduate at Bryn Mawr College and Ken a student at Haverford College. Their writing partnership began here, when they joined in an independent study class to write a children's book.  
Anne and Ken married in 1971 and in addition to bringing up three children, together have written about twenty books:
 Theft of the Shroud, a novel; Starfinder, a non-fiction book about the stars for children; a series of books on individual names for children (for example Michael's Book, Elizabeth's Book, John's Book, Jennifer's Book, David's Book, Amy's Book); and, most recently, Kate and the Kid, Praise Her, Praise Diana, Mind Me, Milady, and Weave A Murderous Web, (four adult novels in all), two middle reader/tween novels, Things Are Not What They Seem and Remembering Thomas; and a series for young readers, Stone Faces, Brownstone Faces, and Splotch.
In 2016, Melange Books published the first in the Jane Larson series of mystery/thriller novels: Praise Her, Praise Diana. Since then, they have gone on to write two more:  Mind Me, Milady and Weave a Murderous Web.

Their latest novel in the Jane Larson series, Killer Soulmate, will be released by Melange Books 24/9/2019
