About Anika

I’m a busy wife and professional writer/editor (albeit not in the book-publishing industry) in Florida. I spend most of my leisure time reading, and choose to write about some of the books I read and the industry they come from here at WriteBlack.

My likes include Octavia E. Butler, pasta (sigh), Beverly Jenkins, Carl Hiaasen, biographies, St. Augustine of Hippo, books that make me laugh, romances, mysteries, sci-fi, fantasy if it’s really good, small houses, shelter magazines, hot boots, bright colors, cookbooks, root vegetables and lazy Sunday afternoons.

My dislikes include bad dialogue, chocolate (don’t ask), stupid plots, John Travolta, sweating, raising my voice, modern dance, bad sex scenes and female book characters who seem to be too dumb to walk and chew gum at the same time.
