Ann Howard Creel Books Overview

Water At the Blue Earth

The story of an unlikely friendship, life on the frontier and how the protagonist, Wren, deals with complex issues and ultimately a crucial decision. Set in late 19th century Colorado, Water At the Blue Earth includes a little known yet very interesting chapter of Colorado’s history.

The Magic of Ordinary Days

In her beautifully written debut novel, Ann Howard Creel enthralls with a spellbinding story of past regrets and renewed hope. In Colorado during the last year of World War II, the usually sensible Olivia Dunne, an intelligent young woman who dreams of becoming an archeologist, commits a careless act of passion and must redeem herself by agreeing to marry a man she has never met. Her new husband lives on a remote farm and is himself a reserved, though seemingly kind, man. Overwhelmed by loneliness, Olivia finds friendship and solace in two Japanese American sisters who are living at a nearby internment camp. While struggling to shape her new life, Olivia learns how powerful and how confusing love, friendship, and family ties can be. With echoes of Snow Falling on Cedars and writing that will engage fans of Jane Hamilton and Alice Hoffman, this magical novel is a gentle story of loss, love, and hope.

Call Me the Canyon

Madolen yearns to see life in the world outside the red walls of her canyon. Leaving her reclusive gold panning father, she is adopted by a kind Mormon family, but the unexpected death of a member of that family forces her to leave them. Now on her own, she finds work as a canyon guide for a handsome young Easterner and falls in love with him. But will life with him replace her canyon?

In the background, the lure of gold and the dangerous beauty of the West’s great canyons and mountains always call Madolen, along with the voices of her ancestors the Navajo Old ones and the song of Madolen’s own canyon.
