Many of Anne and Ken’s recent books are set in New York City and are so thoroughly integrated into the actual streets and parks that readers have commented on the fact that the City is almost a character in the books. In July of 2013, they published a mainstream novel called KATE AND THE KID through Wings ePress. A mystery/suspense novel featuring attorney Jane Larson, PRAISE HER, PRAISE DIANA, was published by Melange Books on October 16, 2014. Two more Jane Larson mysteries, WEAVE A MURDEROUS WEB and MIND ME, MILADY, were published in 2016 and 2017. Their latest in the Jane Larson series, KILLER SOUL MATE, was published in December of 2019.

Anne and Ken also write books for middle readers. STONE FACES, an Alice and Friends book was published by MuseItUp Publishing in 2016. BROWNSTONE FACES, second in the series, was released in 2017. SPLOTCH was added in 2018.

Finally, Anne and Ken have published two books for tween readers. in THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM (2014), they introduced Jenny and James, born and bred New Yorkers, who discover a talking pigeon in Central Park, named Arthur Whitehair. Jenny and James' attempt to help Whitehair become human again (he had been turned into a pigeon by a spell gone very wrong years earlier). An adventure ensues which puts them all in great danger. The adventure continues in REMEMBERING THOMAS when Jenny and James step through a time portal and find themselves in the middle of the Battle of Manhattan during the Revolutionary War.
