When her mom challenged her to write her own, the town of Grant's Crossing was born. When not cheering for her Columbus Blue Jackets, H.M.S. Brown can be found at a neighborhood cafe working on her next story or at her day job so she can maintain a roof over her library and yarn stash. Wayward Guilt, Safe Now, and End of a New Life make up the Heroes of Grant's Crossing series, which tells stories of veterans navigating their way through civilian life in the Midwest. Each can be read as a standalone.In the meantime, check out all of H.M.S. Brown's novels, found at your local library and wherever books are sold online.
