PRESS RELEASE: Book Signing for Local Author
Walden Books in the Columbiana Mall, SC will be hosting a book signing for author Deanna Anderson.Sumter, South Carolina and bestselling author, Deanna Anderson, will be signing copies of her book "Magick for the Kitchen Witch" on December 6, 2009 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. This is her first title published by New Gaia Press, an imprint division of Andborough Publishing, LLC. The book was released May 1st, 2009 and is the first in “The Copper Cauldron Series.” Already the book has sold in Australia, the UK and Canada and Deanna was a guest on the webcast "Proud to be Pagan" featured on You Tube (aired 06/05/09). This is her 3rd book in South Carolina, having nearly sold out at her first signing in Sumter, SC in July of this year.In this book, Deanna showcases a spiritual and earth-based path known as Kitchen Witchery. With no specific cultural or religious influence, this path is known in new-age or neo-pagan communities for the belief that the kitchen (hearth) is the heart of the home. This title discusses superstitions that may be snippets of bygone rituals that housewives of yesteryears did in order to have some control over their environment. Today, these superstitions, old wives’ tales and folklore are all part of the makeup of a growing tradition 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 previously 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 has lived in Wisconsin, New Mexico and finally South Carolina and feels that spending time in different states has given her an acceptance and appreciation of cultural, religious and geographical differences and she tries to impart this in her books by showing the similarities of rituals, ideas, and beliefs in different cultures or religions.
