Hello, I’m Anna!

I write Door Sixteen from inside an 1885 Victorian row house in the City of Newburgh, New York. Newburgh is in the Hudson Valley, about 60 miles north of Manhattan on the west bank of the Hudson River.

My husband Evan and I bought this house in early 2006, and we’ve been renovating it ever since and slowly molding it into our vision of the perfect home.

I write about other stuff, too!

Aside from house-related projects, I also work as a book cover designer. And I like to cook. And clean. And obsess over music. And obsess over cleaning. And obsess over obsessing.

Oh! And coffee. I love coffee.

First, check the FAQ page. If you can’t find the answer there, you can try the search box over on the right. If that still doesn’t help, you can leave me a comment with your question or email me at anna@doorsixteen.com. Keep in mind that I get a lot of emails, and I’m pretty lazy about answering them in a timely fashion.
