10 Things Most People Don’t Know About Me

1. For health experimenting reasons, many years ago I was a raw foodist and didn’t eat any cooked food for a year and half. It gave me even MORE energy than I already had (which was kind of too much) and I slept for only three hours a night!

2. I never know what day of the week it is without looking.

3. I used to think I was being abducted by aliens until I found out that I was actually having Night Terrors. I wrote about it here.

4. When I had my own TV show back in the 1990s (BZZZ!), I turned down a sponsorship with a large footwear company because I didn’t wear sneakers. Um… yeah, I’d like a do over, please. You can find video of the show here

5. I got into two physical fights with boys in Jr. High, protecting my friends. I won.

6. When I was five years old, some people from a zoo visited our school and the local news filmed me with a snake around my neck. Everything was fine, until they asked me my name and they all realized I was not little boy. I had a very cute bowl haircut that was very boy-like, I guess. Then everyone freaked out because they put a snake around a girl’s neck so they took the snake away. My first (but not last) moment of silly sexism. I don’t blame the snake. It was a good snake.

7. The GED was the only test I ever studied for. I passed with flying colors.

8. I say Good Morning in Hebrew to a picture of my mother every morning.

9. I eat raw jalapeños peppers like they’re apples.

10. During puberty my fingernails grew two inches. I was often stopped and asked how I did that. I didn’t know it then, but I didn’t do that. Hormones did. I can’t get them to grown much anymore. But that’s okay, it was fun while it lasted!

Love and Good Vibes, Annie Wood

A 17 year old girl is overwhelmed with responsibilities trying to keep her messy family together. Everything spins out of control when her addict actor dad who bailed on the family three years ago leaving her with her lovable but bi-polar mom and her two little sisters, comes back into town and wants to reconnect.

Writing poems is her only escape. Just a girl in the is about family, forgiveness, and having enough courage to live your own life, your own way.

Enjoy an Excerpt

In the past 747 days I’ve made 747th breakfasts for my family. I barely have to think about what I’m doing anymore, the eggs just poach themselves. Doing the same thing, day in and day out, gives my life the feeling of being stuck in slo-mo. In fact, I’m moving so freakin’ slowly I may as well be standing still. It’s like I managed to step into a vat of cement while everyone around me is coasting along on one of those people movers they have at the airports. Also, my particular vat of cement happens to be on a carousel, going around and around and around. So, sure, there’s movement, only I’m not getting anywhere.

“Damn it.” I bend down to pick up yet another broken glass. My bad. As usual. When my mind wanders, it takes my coordination with it.

“Lauren. Don’t say damn.” my kid sis reprimands.

“You’re right, Sara. Sorry. Finish your scrambled eggs, okay?”

“Okay.”

“Ouch.” I cut my pinkie on a sliver of broken glass.

“We’re out of Band-Aids,” Matty informs. “You should get more.”

“Gee, thanks, sis. Don’t bother getting up.”

“I won’t,” she tells me as she continues scarfing down the food I made her.

Yep, this is my brood. Not on purpose, though. I mean, I didn’t plan this brood or birth this brood, it just sort of turned out that they’re now, mostly mine.

My eighteenth birthday is in 99.3105497 days away and then I’ll be free.

Just a Theory by Annie Wood – Spotlight and Giveaway

1_20 theory Cover_JustATheoryJust when Martin thinks his life will never go anywhere remotely interesting, he meets an eccentric quantum physicist who gives him the ability to travel to his parallel lives where, in one of them, he runs a successful bed and breakfast with his beautiful wife in Italy.

Only problem is, Martin has no control over any of this.

Enjoy an excerpt:

Have you ever experienced déjà vu?”

“You just asked me that.”

“It’s a little metaphysical comedy.” The professor laughs.

Martin can’t find the funny right now. He just glares at the professor.

How about the feeling that you know someone from before, even though you’ve just met?” the professor asks.

“Sure, I’ve felt that before.”

“All of that is because you have met them and you have been there before. Maybe even simultaneously.”

Martin puts his head in his hands again as the professor goes on to explain Einstein’s theory of everything.

“We all know Einstein’s most popular theory, the theory of relativity and his second great theory which brought us general relativity, space warps, the Big Bang, and black holes. But, it’s his third one, the theory of everything, that was his greatest theory. What he had hoped for was that his crowning achievement would be the discovery of the unified field theory. An attempt to read the mind of God.”

“What did God say?”

“Nobody knows. Einstein died before he finished it.”

“And this helps me how?” Martin asks.

“It doesn’t. I’m sure this is just a temporary opening and will close soon enough. In the end, you might have fleeting memories, but that’s all. In the meantime, enjoy this peek into the mysterious.” The professor giggles a little as he leans back in his chair and pretend puffs on his prop pipe.

Martin considers beating him over the head with the Einstein bust.
