Roxanne Snopek has been writing professionally for
more than two decades and is the author of eight books, more than 150 articles,
and has had short fiction published in several anthologies. Her non-fiction has
appeared in a wide variety of publications, from The Vancouver Sun and Reader’s
Digest to newsletters for Duke, Cornell and Tufts Universities. She's done
corporate copywriting on topics ranging from pet food for Iams/Eukanuba, to
employee profiles for VersaCold to air-conditioner maintenance for Home Depot.
In 2006, her first novel Targets of Affection was published
by Cormorant Books, under the name RGWillems. When her editor asked for more,
she happily wrote the second and third in the series, certain she was on her
way to fame and fortune. Then the economy fell apart, her editor stopped taking
her calls and Roxanne realized it wasn't going to be that easy.
After some wallowing and navel-gazing, she found Romance
Writers of America, one of the largest professional writers' organizations in
the world, and began to seriously study the craft of fiction writing. Roxanne
is currently Vice-President of the Greater Vancouver Chapter of the Romance
Writers of America. They voted her in, so they can’t complain.
In her spare time, Roxanne is also the human resource
manager for a veterinary hospital. She and her family live in the Pacific
Northwest, where she’s always at work on the next book.
On a personal note:
Take a look my blog*, in which I open up a tiny window into
the uncharted landscape that is My Brain, while dancing between the boundaries
of Too Much Information and Oops, Now I Need a Pen Name. Mostly it's just Real
Life, family, art, writing, yoga and why some mornings, you just shouldn't
talk.
*or
don't. Really, it's up to you.
