Step into a world where genealogy meets true crime in this captivating episode of The Fire Inside Her. Host Diane Schroeder engages in a riveting conversation with Pepper Anne, who shares her unique experience of discovering a family member’s involvement in sensational criminal activities. Explore the twists and turns of Pepper’s 13-year journey to write her first book, revealing the real events behind cattle rustling and high-stakes jailbreaks. This episode promises to pique the interest of aficionados of true crime, storytelling, and family history. Get ready to uncover a world of mystery, grit, and family history, emphasizing the power of uncovering one's roots and the resilience needed to tell complex stories authentically.
Pepper Anne is a 7th generation Texan, where she and her family currently reside. She had diligently worked with private investigators, which helped flush her narratives with detailed excellence in her true crime books.
She has protected her identity because there are people not too happy that she published her first book, warning her to stop and hacking her computer, but she refused to give up. Her life and her family's lives were even put in jeopardy. This only put more resolve into her to continue writing the truth of what happens.
Pepper's goal is to bring the real story behind the stories we've all heard about. She is making sure that we hear all sides to the story so that we make our own decisions of right and wrong and justice.
While her ultimate focus is, and always will be, true crime, some stories are too hidden to bring to light which is why Pepper's decided to also dabble in writing crime fiction where the stories are inspired by real crimes.

With compelling references to books like "The Body Keeps the Score" and "The Untethered Soul," Maggie and Diane provide practical and inspiring advice for anyone seeking to realign their life.
Maggie Evans has always had a deep love and passion for creating and art-making, a practice she describes as her form of self-care since childhood. Growing up, she would often be found in her room, working with fabric, paint, and various materials to process her inner world. This early dedication to her craft led her to attend art school for her undergraduate studies. After graduation, Maggie promptly began working at Cicada, a local independent bridal shop in Seattle, Washington.
