I've been blogging for the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA) since 2006. SIBA is a trade association which represents over 300 bookstores in 11 SE states. My blog is Consuming Books and reaches the book buyers in those 11 states. I also Twitter for SIBA @reedenwright.
I created the Southern Indie Lit Crossword Puzzle Book for SIBA. The crossword puzzles were inspired by the winning titles of the SIBA Book Award, honoring ten years of the very best in Southern literature as chosen by SIBA booksellers. The puzzle book was the first book chosen to be published by SIBA.
I am also writing short stories about online dating experiences. The stories will be made into short films for a series entitled E-motions (the first one, The Last Wife, is currently in pre-production).
I have a B.A. degree with a major in English and a Master's in Library & Information Science. I have written two novels with an online writing group. The novels are currently being shopped to publishers.
