Anna Mazzola writes historical crime fiction and strange short stories. Her debut novel, The Unseeing, was published in July and is based on the life of a real woman convicted of aiding an abetting a murder in London in 1837. Anna studied English before becoming a criminal justice solicitor. She lives in Camberwell, not far from where the murder in The Unseeing took place, and divides her time between writing, reading, lawyering, and child-wrangling.
