Ann McMillan was born in Columbus, Georgia, and lives in Richmond, Virginia. Ann's four Civil War mystery novels set in Richmond weave together three points of view: Narcissa Powers, a white widow who becomes a Confederate nurse; Judah Daniel, a free black doctoress; and Brit Wallace, a British war correspondent. Each novel has a medical theme. Dead March tells what happens when the "sack-'em-up boys" who rob graves to supply the medical school with cadavers dig up a murder victim. Angel Trumpet involves the hallucinogenic effects of jimsonweed poisoning. In Civil Blood, smallpox-tainted money wreaks havoc on those too greedy to destroy it, as well as the innocent with whom their lives intersect. Chickahominy Fever infects its heroine with malaria.Like her novels, Ann's Civil War mystery short story, Castle Thunder, tells a dramatic story of what might have happened against a scrupulously researched historical background -- in this case, the infamous Confederate prison.Castle Thunder and Dead March are available on Kindle. All the novels -- originally published by Viking Penguin -- are coming soon in Kindle versions.For more information, including a bibliography, see Ann's website, civilwarmystery.com.
