HollyAnne Weaver
Ms. Weaver has worked for many years in a scientifically-based career writing technical documents. An avid reader from a very young age, she gradually began writing poetry and fiction, one of her current passions. Growing up, Ms. Weaver was always fascinated with books and the ability of an author to write fiction. A sequence of emails with a close friend led to her writing longer pieces, eventually culminating in her first novel being completed in 2010. Ms. Weaver’s main writing focus is on lesbian fiction, although she has projects for mysteries and historical fiction already planned.

Leaving Afghanistan Behind
Amelia Gittens, a black female, has the distinct honor of being the first female to be admitted to the US Army’s elite group of snipers, fighting in Afghanistan. It doesn’t come without its price, though, as she comes back as so many veterans do with post-traumatic stress syndrome complete with major flashbacks. Working as a New York City police officer, she is involved with a suspect shooting. Unfortunately for her, it is the cousin of a major international drug dealer who seeks revenge on her and her partner, as well as the departmental psychiatrist. Amelia responds the only way she knows how, falling back upon her military training to keep her ward safe while the situation is being resolved. The whole while, she is battling her own inner demons, fighting with herself to keep them at bay, nearly tearing herself apart.
