Short Bio:

I have always written stories, although I never really call myself a writer. I just self-published a memoir which has gotten good feedback for the most part, but I prefer to write fiction. There is nothing like imagining a whole story and set of characters and have them come to life on the page. When I'm not writing I do alternative healing of some sort. I am a former acupuncturist, but looking to move into something more satisfying.

About imawake's Reading & Writing

I'll read almost anything if it's written well and I can lose myself in it. I have a broad range of tastes although I don't get enough time to read as much fiction as I like. I like when characters are very well-developed. If I can't get into the characters, then it doesn't matter to me what happens no matter how much excitement or intrigue is going on. Books are my most favorite thing in the world, and I spend more money on them than anything else. And although I have an e-reader, I will always prefer an actual book to hold in my hands.

Favorite Writers:

David Sedaris, Thomas Hardy, J.K. Rowling, Orson Scott Card, Neil Gaiman, Elizabeth Gilbert

Favorite Books:

Little Big, Some Kind of Fairy Tale, The Hunger Games, Replay, Autobiography of a Yogi
