About Us

Paul and Stella La Violette have done what a lot of us say we would like to do but don’t, wrote books about the things that interest them in the events that take place about them.

They have formed their own two-person publishing company, Annabelle Books, to produce their books. The books Annabelle has produced have been big sellers for the last ten years. Their success is in some ways surprising in that there are no murders in the books, no federal agents looking for terrorists, just the everyday, normal, wonderfully unique life that all of us enjoy.

Despite this rationality, just about everyone who has read their books feels personally gratified, relating what they write about to their own individual life experiences.

Stella enjoys cooking and has gained a well-deserved reputation for the wonderful meals she makes for both large and small dinner parties. Her first cookbook, Blueberry Peaches, Red Robin Pie, lives up to that reputation; presenting wonderful examples of the favorite meals she has enjoyed preparing. All of the recipes are Stella’s own and have been tried many times on her built in recipe critic: her husband, Paul.
