Yes, May's the month I was born. And yes, my first name being Camelia is a dead give-away (or warning) that I'm a legitimate Suthen Belle. And I haven't lost my accent, either, during all these years working in New York and Los Angeles. So there.I'd love to place myself in the pantheon of the Southern writers I absorbed growing up: Faulkner, Wolfe, O.Henry, Percy, Marshall Tucker. But turns out I'm a sucker for science fiction, fantasy, and kids' books. Ah, well. This is my attempt to give modern kids something of the pleasure I got sitting under the sycamore out back reading about little creatures and the humans who loved them. Well, that and an attempt to get rich and famous. Whichever works.It's kind of ironic that a dyed-in-the-wool book fan like myself would get sucked into electronic publishing, but it makes a lot of sense. Reading off paper won't be around much longer, and there are huge advantages to reading "ebooks". But above all, I realized that much of the audience I was trying to reach has already made the jump to being more comfortable reading off a screen than paper. So what the hell?I can't claim authorship of these two books, but I made solid contributions. For fans of my online serial "Tree Tops"...I'm working on getting them out as an ebook and paperback. And two other projects: what I call a "proactive chick lit" book sure to delight and appal, and a memoir. Don't shudder... this one's different, and has dirty lingerie.
