Local Author Gets Published

A local woman is realizing her dream with her first published title with Andborough Publishing, LLC.

A Sumter writer, Deanna Anderson, gets her first title published by New Gaia Press, an imprint division of Andborough Publishing, LLC. Deanna’s newest book, “Magick for the Kitchen Witch” is Deanna’s first title with this publishing house. The book is due to be released May 1st, 2009 and is the first in a series titled “The Copper Cauldron.”In this book, Deanna showcases a spiritual and earth-based path known as “Kitchen Witchery.” With no specific cultural or religious influence, Kitchen Witchery is a path known in new-age or pagan communities as simple, earth-based and harbors the belief that the kitchen (hearth) is the heart of the home. This title discusses how superstitions are often little snippets of bygone magic or rituals that the housewives of yesteryears did in order to have some control over their environment. Today, these little snippets of superstitions, old wives’ tales and folklore as well as beliefs stemming from a wide variety of religions and cultures all make up the remarkably simple path known as “Kitchen Witchery.”Deanna wrote her first story when she was 8 years old because she had read everything on her shelf and wanted something new to read. From that moment on, she knew that she wanted to be an author. She has written a wide-variety of key-word articles on the internet, had a feature article in the Mother’s Day issue of “Domestique” magazine in 1996 and in 2006 was featured in her local paper “The Item” for receiving runner-up in a children’s story contest held by Woman’s Day Magazine and Scholastic Inc. She also has a previous self-published children’s fantasy titled “Imagica: The Boy Who Had No Imagination” (Publish America). Married and the mom of two daughters, Deanna spends her time between working full-time with the disabilities board of her county, family, and writing.Deanna’s current title “Magick for the Kitchen Witch” is due to be released May 1st, by New Gaia Press (an imprint division of Andborough Publishing, LLC.). # # #For more information in this book or any of Deanna’s titles visit her site at http://seakla.tripod.com or visit the publisher’s sites www.andborough.com.
