Howard Allison Sturtzel (1894–1985) was an American author, including of popular children's books. He wrote books with his wife, under the name Jane and Paul Annixter.[1] The couple's novel work, primarily equestrian fiction, consisted of four books, two of which were a part of the "A Penny of Paintrock" series. In addition, the couple are also accredited for over 500 short stories. The couple enjoyed an active and natural lifestyle in Pasadena, which reflected in their writings that most often involved animals and nature.

In 1920, Sturtzel married Jane Levington Comfort, daughter of writer Will Levington Comfort[2]

In 1950, A. A. Wyn published a book by Paul Annixter entitled "Swiftwater," about a backwoods family trying to protect a herd of wild geese. Disney created the movie, Those Calloways, based on the book, in 1965.
