Staria J Schmidt

I was born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin. I graduated from Washington Park High School in 1996. I have been married three times and have two kids. I lived in Racine until 2004. I then moved to Tomahawk, Wisconsin where I made the decision to start my life over. It wasn't until 2006, when I got the idea to start writing books. The one dream I had was to become a famous author, and I had hoped someday in the future this would happen.

I have read many books over the years from Angela Knight to Stephen King. I enjoy crime and suspense novels, erotic/romance novels. Especially the ones that keep you on the edge of your seat. I can admit my style of writing has come from what I have read.

I finally found the courage to write about experiences in my life. I chose to take what I lived and turn it into a story. I knew I did not have the funds to be a best-selling author or even have my own editing professionals or hire my own marketing team. What I did have was an idea that went from a dream to reality.

As an independent self-published author, there are many challenges, but how you face them when it arises determines failure and success. This I have learned over the years. I hope to continue with telling more stories and maybe in the future I might have my big break.
