C. Miller, Amazon bestselling author of Larkspur, Heliotrope, Vacation and Believing in Bigfoot "In Manwaring’s immersive memoir, Saints and Skeletons, she deftly takes her reader on a pilgrimage to Mexico. Rendered with heart and vulnerability, we observe her inner life through the risky choices she regrets, the love she desires, the sublime beauty she discovers. Don’t miss this multisensory adventure of a lifetime." What reviewers are saying about the JadeAnne Stone Mexico Adventures: Coyote, Recipient of the Literary Titan Silver Book Award for fiction "Ana Manwaring has a strong narrative voice in her novel which helps guide the reader through some high-octane scenes. I could clearly imagine it all and there were some fantastically cinematic scenes to read through. There is palpable tension throughout the story which always had me wondering what was going to happen next. Manwaring does an excellent job of keeping the reader on their toes as action strikes at any moment in the story." US Review of Books "This novel, with its backdrop of human trafficking, is a riveting read that puts one into the center of Mexican culture with its descriptive narrative of landmarks and cuisine." Nothing Comes After Z, Recommended by the US Review of Books "The beauty of Mexico and the charm of its citizens are offset by the rampant violence accompanying the scourge of organized crime. JadeAnne is a heroine with a healthy dose of skepticism who doesn't suffer betrayal or fools lightly. The paranoia that follows her every movement is palpable, and Manwaring conveys this with the flair of a seasoned writer." Recipient of the Literary Titan Silver Book Award for fiction "Author Ana Manwaring knows how to create a storyline that easily sets up hard-hitting action. I enjoyed how well emotion is weaved into this action novel. Nothing Comes After Z pits its compelling female protagonist against some seriously dangerous people in the midst of an exotic location where action seems to be around every corner. Suspense and crime fiction lovers will find this book a must read." The Hydra Effect Lisa Towles, Bestselling and Award-winning author of Hot House, Ninety-Five, The Unseen and Choke “The Hydra Effect sizzles with action, tension, and peril. Great writing combined with regional flare and international intrigue make this sequel a delightful ride!” M. M. Chouinard, USA Today bestseller of the Jo Fournier Mystery series "A well-written, engaging story with a bad-ass protagonist I loved spending time with.Bring on more JadeAnne!" Set UP Heather Haven, multi-award-winning author of the Alvarez Family Murder Mysteries “This is a blowout of a story. It starts on the backroads of Mexico in the middle of the night—just a woman, a dog, and Mexican Banditos—and escalates from there. If you are looking for a fast-paced, action-filled thriller about the adventures of a young PI and her lethal but well-trained dog, this will be your cup of tea. Or should I say Margarita? Jack Reacher step aside. You have met your match in JadeAnne Stone." Kirkus Review "With a likable duo and a vivid, appealing setting, this adventure series is off to a promising start."
