"When Barr's then-husband changed careers from being a theatre director and became interested in the environmental movement, she began working as a seasonal park ranger in the summer. Her first permanent park ranger job was on the Natchez Trace Parkway in Mississippi. She created the character of Anna Pigeon while working at her second seasonal job in Guadalupe Mountains National Park in Texas. Pigeon is a law enforcement ranger with the United States National Park Service. The books in the series take place in various national parks (and other protected areas) where Pigeon solves murders that are often related to natural resource issues. The Anna Pigeon character shares several similarities with Barr, such as working as a park ranger and having had a husband who worked in the theater in New York City.
