Southern Fried Fiction author Ane Mulligan shares the triumphs and pitfalls of publishing from 25 years of experience. She has been a voracious reader ever since her mother instilled a love of books at age three. Together, they would escape into worlds otherwise unknown. Then, when Ane saw PETER PAN on stage, she was struck by a fever and never recovered—stage fever. Her two passions collided one day, and a bestselling, award-winning novelist emerged. Now, she wears a director’s hat at a community theatre by night, and by day, she writes novels. The author of 16 published works—so far—she lives in Sugar Hill, GA, with her artist husband, a rescued German Shepherd, and a rascally Rottweiler. Find Ane on her website, Facebook, The Write Conversation, and Blue Ridge Conference Blog.
