Anne is a graduate of Springfield College in Spingfield, Massachusetts. Springfield College, the home of Basketball was founded by the same philanthropist who started the YMCA, and eventually the YWCA. Go Chiefs!!!
Earing her B.S. degree in Leisure Management, Anne graduated the same year that her alma-mater enjoyed it's 100th year centennial celebration. Auspicious, huh?
With guidance and support Anne completed two, semester-long internships at both Princeton University and Disney University at EPCOT Center in Walt Disney World. Go figure?
Anne brags about having had the worst jobs in the world, while being sincerely proud of having worked very hard to provide for a nice standard of living and establishing a loving home.
Prior to her new and hopeful embarkation into the fabulous world of writing, she boasts such professional careers as a Florida Special Fire Safety Inspector, FDA standardized Food Safety Specialist, Environmental Scientist with the Virginia Dept. of Health, Restaurant Manager of six different Red Lobsters in two states, and she's not too proud to admit that years and years ago, she delivered Domino's Pizza!!! A girl's gotta eat!!!
A B.I.T.C.H., by her God given nature, Roberts loves...
B-is for Bizarre! Anne has several soft and cushy spots for nearly anything Sci-fi, Supernatural, Super Hero, Fantasy/
Romance,and if it contains any aspect of vampires and werewolves, no matter how poorly written or produced, she will indulge her curiosity! So, if it bites, has fangs, claws or a big, bushy tail then ... it will certainly tap her aorta!
I-is for Intuitive! Insightful, spontaneous and perceptive people shall rule the world! Well, maybe we just get what we want out of life faster than the uber analytical and pensive. Anne says being very aware of her environment, no not the trees and mountains, but staying rooted in our world of humanity is key! Stay on task with what is happening today. Remember our mortal history and look to where we are headed. That is how successful people stay on top! Fantasy is great entertainment, but don't get lost forever!
T-Annie is a Temptress! C'mon now! You know she means verbally! If by reading her novel she can make you squirm in your seat, turn several gradual and more darkening shades of crimson or attack your sweetie when they walk through the door, then she has won the day! Anne always plays to win!!!
C-is for Charm and Charisma! To embrace passion, to allure good karma and to enthrall those who dare to enter her realm is Anne's Nirvana, Utopia and Heaven all wrapped up in a happy, sated Writer's burrito! Anne is seldom undone when she aims her indomitable will at a target! Fear not the raging river, let her sweep you away in her adventure, in the romance, and immerse you in the sweet liquid ecstasy of her innovative and evocative stories!
H-Humor is the Oxygen of Life! It is the constant balm of our harsh journey! Sorry, but the ludicrous, the illogical, and the absurd are just plain, damned funny! You wish to write a book, you say? Anne says, one way is to start by writing about the most embarrassing event of your life, then elaborate. You are sure to be on your way from there!
ANNE'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET?
Don't tell anyone and just between us, Anne is a WWE Wrestling fan-addict, IN THE WORST WAY!!!
I found out this year that WWE Superstar, John Cena is also a graduate of Springfield College. Good for him!
Lordie knows, when I was there our Football team could have used a bruiser with a brain (who is also handsome, charming & charismatic, too.)
Alas, though I am a fan of Cena and each of the talented performers in the WWE, he is not my wrestling icon. I admit to you, I adore the high flying, gravity defying, originality and super-human athletic abilities of the 'Shaman of Sexy', John Morrison.
One night, I had 4th row seats to Smackdown (if u can't get good seat, stay home). During the most incredulous physical feat of excellence I have ever witnessed, John Morrison, a regular size guy, twirled his entire body around, and around giant wrestler Kane's head and neck. Morrison was like a human whirly bird.
Kane is a big boy, like 6' 9" and he took the other man's weight around his neck like the Pro he is. That 5 second move was more thrilling than my combined experiences of Circ 'de Sol on ice and surviving hurricane Andrew in my once Florida home.
I actually modeled some my vampire warrior moves in the final fight scene in novel 1 after watching both the incredible live and televised performances of wrestler John Morrison. I think he's better live and I appreciate that when he comes to a really small town, like Richmond, Va., that he comes out and
performs equally as well as when he is at the Staples center in L.A.
My gosh, if you ever need a sample body type for your Hero or Heroine, watch WWE Wrestling for the moves and the muscularity of really great athletes and great looking people.
It was too funny,when I came out of the closet about my adoration of all things WWE, my Mother told me about how my maternal Grandmother used to watch professional wrestling, obsessively. My Grandma Julia's favorite wrestler was a handsome blonde man called Buddy-something and she watched wrestling from the early 1950's until she passed a few years ago.
So, this fascination with being entertained by beefy, arrogant, smooth skinned, hard-hitting performers seems to have afflicted the females in my pack as the males appear asymptomatic. I drag my man down to the Richmond Coliseum twice a year, permitting. I missed the last show and it was some big pay-per-view
tournament event, natch!
Like 1 out of 4 women in my age range, I am the proud matriarch of a happy family of four dogs and two cats. I leave the kids to my sister and brother. We love the bucolic scenery here in the rural Richmond,
Virginia area.
I welcome your comments with open arms and big claws so sharp you wont even feel them rending your soft flesh ... at first.
Thank you for visiting this page!!! WLOLAK -Anne
