Who I am:
I am an author, writer, blogger, ghost writer and editor.

I am the author of, “Believe in Yourself ~ Inspire Others ~ Spread Joy” (2012); and am a contributing author in the upcoming anthology, "Dancing at the Shame Prom" (Fall, 2012). You can read my story, “Sewer Candy Store,” in the anthology, “Oil and Water and Other Things That Don’t Mix” (2010).

Additionally I am the creator of The Many Shades of Love blog, www.themanyshadesoflove.blogspot.com where I write about the ups and downs of being in an interracial marriage and family. I am a contributing writer for EmbraceUS Multicultural Magazine, TheNextFamily.com online magazine, and the Oil and Water blog, which is a companion blog to the book. Previously I wrote for Adaptu.com where my stories were about making it through financially hard times.

I also write as a guest writer for various web sites, blogs, and newspapers and am a ghost writer and editor for all genres of writers.

Along with my other ongoing projects, I am writing my memoir, “This is Me…Coming Out of the Darkness,” while also working on a movie that will be based on the same book.

The other night my hubby and I went to a birthday celebration for one of his friends.  As we were walking into the restaurant, my third hand….I mean my blackberry, lit up, and I received an email from my agent.  She wanted to know if I would be interested in being interviewed about being in an…

I know…me too…..you hold your breath for a minute and hope for the best…right!?  You just…

Amy, you probably noticed I took a break from TNF.  But my health has improved the last week and I actually  launched a blog dedicated to my book.  Will you follow it at http://alifeinartstellaadler.wordpress.com/? Thanks for the support!

LMBO. No, seriously. Comments like that have actually made me laugh out loud. Almost as much as when I was told that my hubby and I wouldn't know people disapproved if we weren't "looking for it". O_O Oh, the naivete. Guess they've never literally been approached on the street by strangers. #WeHave

Hi Amy! It's been a while since I said hello, I know! I just wrote a blog post about interracial romance and wondered if you'd had this particular experience. (post link)

Thanks, Amy. I have a quick question for you too. I pitched a story to thenewfamily.com. Is there anyone specific I should follow up with to see if they're interested? Thanks!

Hi Amy,

I see that you joined She Writes in California some time ago. Jump in and introduce yourself in the 'Howdie' discussion. We would love to hear from you.

Thanks, Amy! This is my first publication so... it's kind of a big deal. :-D  Meanwhile, with the holidays I haven't actually had a chance to read the anthology cover to cover yet, but I read about your experience on your blog: how awful! I'm looking forward to reading your piece about it. Happy New Year! A
