Astrid Cielo

Biography

Astrid Cielo is a Mississippi girl who enjoys a variety of things. By night, she is a nurse in her local ER, and by day, she is spilling her imagination out on paper. Astrid began writing when she was a child her stories featuring a variety of characters. When she was in high school she wrote her first completed story and was published twice in poetry anthologies.
Gathering her courage, Astrid self-published her first book, Surrender Serenity, Salin’s Salvation, Book 1 and enjoyed every minute of it. Now she balances her time between being a nurse (which she loves) and writing down the scenes that play out in her mind. She also plays World of Warcraft (which all of her friends think is weird)!
Astrid would love to hear from you!

Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I wrote all the time as a child, and my grandmother supplied me with endless amounts of paper. I was always a shy child and for some reason I could express myself best through written word. I wrote a story in junior high, but it was never published--except by myself. I wrote it out on white copy paper, illustrated it (my writing skills are exponetially greater than my illustration skills), then sewed it together and binded it with cardboard. It was great! I did several more over the years.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
When I'm not writing I am working as a nurse in my local hospital. It's quite fulfilling to serve others, although I will always love to write. I also enjoy playing World of Warcraft, surfing the web, and jogging (although this is a new hobby and I'm not quite a triathlete or anything, but I'm working on it).
