I have always dreamed of becoming an author. I can't remember a time when I did not enjoy reading, and in school, writing and English were always my best and favorite subjects. This year, I have the opportunity to attend a convention called the RT Convention (Romance Times). I have signed up for the aspiring writer session, and part of our pre-homework is to begin thinking of ourselves as authors, and to create our identities. Here I am; Barb Riley, Author!
MissionMy personal mission is to write a book! I have several ideas in mind, in many different genres. I started reading romance novels when I was a teen and was introduced to the fantasy world of sci-fi. I have been hooked on sci-fi for many years now! With the re-emergence of the vampire culture, I became interested in Charlaine Harris' series with Sookie Stackhouse (thank you to the cute girl reading a Sookie novel who sat beside me on the plane in May!). I recently read the Mary Janice Davidson series of Betsy the Vampire Queen, and found them very entertaining as well! So I guess these days, I am very interested in paranormal romance.
ProfileI am currently writing a book about a teenage girl with special powers. I'm not too far into it just yet, but I will post a synopsis when I'm ready! I have also started a biography of yours truly, that details how cancer has affected my family, and how things have changed since my positive diagnosis of the BRCA1 mutation. This book is very challenging because I have to re-live all of the bad memories along with the good, so I work on it in spurts.
