By some accounts I am a native of Las Vegas. Growing up in the gambling capitol was boring for a child yet memorable. The exciting times of the Mafia run small desert community are fond memories I hold dear, although they no longer exist.
Moving around from California to Oregon I somehow ended right back in the city of sin. After raising my three children I decided it was time to pursue my dreams and passion to become a writer. Since my journey started in 2006 I have become a small published author in various anthologies, newsletters and my biggest brag, the cover photo of Las Vegas Chew Toy by author Laura L Alton.
Starting out I took several on-line classes with the much admired Eva Shaw, PhD. Her inspiration and clever teachings fueled my love for the craft. Joining The Las Vegas Quill Keepers in 2006 expanded my knowledge and brought friendships I still share in the writing community. Joining the Henderson Writers Group (http://hendersonwriters.com) in 2008, I now hold the position of Publicity Chairman. My past ‘desk job’ days of Sales and Marketing have proved beneficial in promoting the Las Vegas Writers Conference (http://lasvegaswritersconference.com) and several author friends. As well as myself!
My Writers Daily blog (http://teresawatts.blogspot.com) is a way to share writing tips and inspiration to other writers.
My current work on Anella has brought a new enlightened spiritual love of the women in our history. I have not labeled myself a history buff. But, research has prevailed! Women in our history rocked. They took steps for independence and freedom to think and live as they desired. During my research I have discovered the dismissal of these unspoken heroines of our past.
The mission I hope to acquire in my stories – Yes, you can accomplish what you desire. You are strong enough to live as you wish. The self-esteem lies within us all. Let no one take that from you.
