Who am I
I am a 40-something writer, who is finally realizing her writing dream!! My "real" job is as a paralegal, and I sell Silpada jewelry on the side (www.mysilpada.com/amanda.judd) and Arbonne skin care and wellness products www.arbonne.com/pws/amandajudd/tabs/home.aspx . I have two cats - Lucky and Milo; two Godsons - William and Steven; no kids; no husband; a serious addiction to Mt. Dew, which I am kicking as part of my New Year's Resolution, and an unreasonable fear of anesthesia. I am currently working on my romance novel, "The Courtesan" and I am always writing poetry. I just published my first collection of poetry, "SOUR - A Book of Bitter Little Love Poems" - February 2016.

It's been so long since I've written in my blog (dedicated solely to scrapbooking that I don't even remember the address!)
Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to and any scripts or plays I've authored
I have had poems published in three different anthologies - "The Poetic Bond V," "Her Children Speak," and "New American Poetry Anthology." I just published my first collection of poems, "SOUR - A Book of Bitter Little Love Poems" - February 14, 2016 (Yes, I published on Valentine's Day on purporse.) I am scheduled to release another collection of poetry in April - "Tainted Love."
My professional associations

Services I offer to other writers
just my witty observations ;) But seriously, if you need someone to proof your work for typos, grammar, spelling, etc., I'd be happy to help.
I'm part of these writers' groups or salons
In the past, I was the organizer for a Meetup group in the Wash, DC area called "1,000 Words a Day," I am currently a member of Virginia's Writer's Club, and it's Manassas, VA division, Write By the Rails"
Media outlets that I currently write for
I currently write for "OnPoint" - an legal industry newsletter put out by the National Capital Area Paralegal Association. I was the Editor of the newsletter for two years. This year, I am the President of the association. (This is not creative writing, but more like newspaper reporting!)
I found out about She Writes from
Rabihah - a member of my Meetup group, and Anika Alexander of Scribbles to Scribes - the publisher for my collection of poems, "Broken Wngs" due out in 2017
