For me, writing is like breathing: an absolute
necessity for life.
At the age of 8, my father bought me my first guitar.
He told me that he paid $20 for it in what used to be called “a juke
joint”. It was then that the world of the arts opened up to me and I
started writing. Not stories, mind you, but love songs. Who knew
then that one cheap little guitar would lead me to my passion of
writing stories of romance?
Having spent many years writing for various magazines
and publications throughout America on the topics of politics and
healthcare, I began to feel as if I would burst if I did not allow
myself the time to express the romantic stories that had been
welling inside of me.
With the encouragement of my friends and family, I did just that. I
could not believe what happened next; I wrote and I wrote and I
wrote….there was nothing else that I wanted to do but sit down with
my laptop and lose myself in the story that I was telling. It was
magic for me as a feeling of completion took hold during every
session of creative writing. This also led to a great deal of reward
as the readers of my writing expressed their enjoyment of my
stories. Most of them were very short stories but some fall into the
novella category. After such positive reinforcement, I had to go for
the challenge of writing the first of 3 novels that had been in and
on my mind for some time….so I did and subsequently, I now have my
baby; The Lost One.
I am the mother of two
children and one new grandbaby and although much of my time is spent
still raising the youngest of my two children, and entertaining our
200lb Mastiff (that thinks he is a human per my mother); I always
have time to write.
THE LOST ONE by Christi
Anderson
Time is endless to Nikos as he wanders through life in bitter
loneliness….without that which was his….without the love of the
woman who belonged to him….without the part of his soul that was
ripped away from him that fateful night. ...More
