edit data

AmarA was born and raised in the Twilight Zone (though she did not realize it) on a steady diet of Star Trek and amid a constant influx of classic books from Anne of Green Gables and Ramona to Mark Twain and Jekyll & Hyde.

She studied acting through adolescence (Meisner mostly) and discovered the world behind the stage lights which transformed her into a scenic designer, painter, and sometime costumer.

Traveling led her to explore using her skills to illustrate, to help shy young men propose to their beloved ones, to brand and to entertain.

She has been writing continually since her first Star Log journal in 1990. AWAKE: A Vampire Tale is her first novel.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

I am also a theatrical scenic and costume designer (yes, I count that as one thing) and I am a painter (which oddly includes sketching, cartooning, & calligraphy). So, I am under no pressure to write.

After finishing AWAKE, I did not do more than sketch out bits and pieces for a long time....let's see...4 years. I did not know where it started, so all the fragments of the world that I imagined and possible plots had no context. It isn't writer's block to know that you don't have all the dots yet.

When I want to write but have no story in mind, I write stories for children. There is always inspiration to be found in the wonder of discovering the world. (less)

The plan is to type it up when I fill the pad, on Google Docs and open to the public, just like I did with the first. Seeing my friends and family and folk online reading the story really kept me inspired to keep writing, keep filling it in, to find out what's next for Titian.

I am so grateful to everyone who has bought a paperback or used the pay-what-you-will feature to give back. I think that it is a balance in all arts and for all artists to give freely to the world without commerce or strings and to keep enough money flowing in to support their needs and the material needs of their creation process.(less)
