I'm a first-time novelist, publishing Indie style. I'm out to prove that in today's book marketing world, by subsidizing publishing costs through a "self-publishing" company, I can do for myself what a traditional book publishing route will do.
Background
Information
I have a bachelor's degree in English and philosophy from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Following course completion, I fulfilled an independent research study project on the psychophysiology of trauma. I'm especially interested in learning how trauma affects brain patterns and influences how one may interpret his/her surroundings (PTSD, anxiety disorders). For my current novel, with pleasure, I delved into the mechanics of Stockholm Syndrome. Before attending UCLA, I worked as a court stenographer for 12 years. It's the combination of these arenas, the psychology of events and courtroom personalities, that provide fertile ground for my explorative literary works. I currently reside in California with my husband, Bruce McNall, former owner of the L.A. Kings hockey team, and my three children: Drew, Paige, and Whitney
