Statement:

I am a mutli-genre author from poetry to fiction to romance.  I have written 10 books thus far.  I hope to create more. I am a Bi-polar survivor.  The Bi-polar is what keeps  my mind active so that I can keep creating.  A Bi-polar survivor is just that, a survivor who has not killed themselves as a lot of Bi-polars do.  I survive every day. 

I enjoy meeting new authors every day. I have a web site for free advertising for authors that I run all by myself in my own time.  Book submissions and Author Spotlights are welcome all the time. Use the submission forms at www.anastasiasbookattic.com and I also share this information with 2 sister sites as well. 

I am an editor, reviewer and basic formatter with very modest fees so if I can assist anyone I will. 

I do all of these things so that I can stay in the loop with authors and what is going on in the writing world.  I like to find new resources and share new resources and ideas as well.

Background:

I had been a legal secretary for 17+ years typing 500 page legal briefs a lot during that time thus creating my typing, editing, proofing, etc. skills.  I started writing in high school but never put together a book until a couple of years ago.  My first book was poetry. My second book was short stories. My third book is a co-authored book of murder and secrets based on a true rumor.  I have written in the genres of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, romance, murder/mystery and health.

I live in Maine. A lot of my stories are based on actual happenings in my life. I enjoy taking something that happened in my life and turning it into a full length novella/novel.  It is very fun for me to create a work no matter the genre.

I enjoy meeting other authors all the time.  Sharing resources, etc.  Offering my services as well. I get to read a lot by editing and reviewing books.  I love to read and was taught to speed read at a very young age in school.  I was first introduced to all the classics by my father.  God rest his soul.

Upcoming:

Upcoming events for me will to be completely published in the next two weeks so that my books hit Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other stores by September.  Hopefully before my birthday on Sept. 12th.

Author of the Month contest ends on the 25th of each month on www.anastasiasbookattic.com as long as you are listed on the site with a submission then you are able to enter.

Those are the only events I can think of at the moment.
