edit data

Anna Chastain is a born and raised California girl. She currently resides in central California with her husband and two daughters. She is addicted to books, music, pizza and donuts (and makes no apologies about it); She is the author of five books that revolve around kissing and laughing, and Locked Out is her newest release. On an average day, you'll catch her hanging with her kindergarteners singing songs about ABC's and pizza, a book not far out of reach.

Dust.

Like many self-pubbed authors out there, writing is not my full-time job. It is what I do in those spare moments, weekends, and school breaks, when the characters in my brain insist on being let out, even if it's just to say one quick thing. And though I work hard to make time for it, because I love it and I need it, there are times in my life when kids and husband and work come first and before y Read more of this blog post »

“GIRL, write YOUR book dammit.
Who cares what people think?
If writers in the past cared what other people thought we'd still be glossing over 'inappropriate' kissing scenes.
Break the fucking rules.
Push yourself to the edge.
Show the world what YOU can do.
This is YOUR book. YOUR blood and guts.
AND, don't you EVER, EVER, write one single line for SOMEONE ELSE.”
― Madeline Sheehan
