Anna Katherine is the pseudonym for two women who have
both worked in the publishing industry for most of their lives. They
wrote Salt and Silver to be a jolly romp, starring a type of heroine
they love but rarely see in romance novels. They really do love the mass
market art director at Tor Books, and duct tape.
Anna and Kat are both big magic nerds, and hardly had to do any
research to write Salt and Silver. Anna likes to say that this is the
first time she's ever used her college degree in religious studies, and
that might very well be true. Kat gives a shoutout to her folklore and
Greco-
Roman magic studies, which gave her a huge library and a lot of
ideas.
