Biography
Anastasia Hastings writes the Dear Miss Hermione mystery series which follow the adventures of Violet Manville, Victorian England’s most famous (and enigmatic) agony aunt. Book #1, “Of Manners and Murder,” was a finalist for the 2024 Mary Higgins Clark Award and The Wall Street Journal said it, “evokes the shocking revelations of Wilkie Collins, the social acuity of Jane Austen and the comic melodrama of Oscar Wilde.” Book #2 of the series, “Of Hoaxes and Homicide,” was called “Captivating,” by Publishers Weekly. Under a variety of names and a career than spans more than 30 years, Anastasia has published 70 novels. “The Secrets of Bones,” written as Kylie Logan, was recently made into a Hallmark Mystery movie. Anastasia lives in Ohio.
