About Me

My photo
Rita L Smith
I write about vampires, shapeshifters, witches and the occassional zombie among other things.  I published two collections of my flash fiction, Flashes From My Mind and More Flashes From My Mind, both available on Amazon.  In 2012 I released, Mikey's Tail, a children's book about a little boy, who wants a tail. I have written two novels, which I hope to get published someday. I am, also, an amateur photographer.     I live with my sweetie and our pets in Las Vegas..   Read more about me at http://ritalsmith.com. My author photo was taken by Erica Tabet.

A writer is defined as someone who writes, especially as an occupation.

Simply put: Writers write.

Keep on writing, submitting and writing. Don't let rejection get you down.
