Pepper Anne is a 7th generation Texan, where she and her family currently reside. She had diligently worked with private investigators, which helped flush her narratives with detailed excellence in her true crime books.

She has protected her identity because there are people not too happy that she published her first book, warning her to stop and hacking her computer, but she refused to give up. Her life and her family's lives were even put in jeopardy. This only put more resolve into her to continue writing the truth of what happens.

Pepper's goal is to bring the real story behind the stories we've all heard about. She is making sure that we hear all sides to the story so that we make our own decisions of right and wrong and justice.

While her ultimate focus is, and always will be, true crime, some stories are too hidden to bring to light which is why Pepper's decided to also dabble in writing crime fiction where the stories are inspired by real crimes.
