Anne Jennings Paris has a BA in English Literature and an MFA in Creative Writing. Her poems have appeared in Zyzzyva, the Cimarron Review, and the Pomona Valley Review. She became interested in forgotten legends of the American frontier because she is a descendant of Lewis Wetzel. Anne lives in Oregon City, Oregon, with her husband and son. Killing George Washington is her first book.
"I became so deeply entranced with the beauty of the writing that I devoured it all. To my knowledge, no other writer has ever before so poignantly, so beautifully, so successfully captured the very power and essence of the American frontier and transferred it into both prose and poetry. One cannot read what Ms. Paris has written without being not only greatly moved by its strength and honesty, but equally touched and haunted by the pervasively compelling images she conjures. I consider this a master work of literary art." --Allan W. Eckert, noted historian and author of That Dark and Bloody River, The Frontiersman, and Wild Season
