Cameron D. Garriepy

Biography

Self-described shenaniganist and unabashed romantic, Cameron wrote her first romance novel on an antique typewriter, using a stack of pink paper. Detours between that draft and publishing her first novel included a BA in Music, a professional culinary education, and twelve years in the child-wrangling industry.

Cameron writes from the Metro Boston area, where she lives with my husband, son, and a poorly behaved pug. Her fiction is independently published through most major ebook retailers by Bannerwing Books. Her writing has appeared on Livestrong, The Bump, ModernMom, and GlobalPost. Cameron was a managing editor at Write on Edge, and is the founder and senior editor at Bannerwing Books.

Smashwords Interview

Describe your desk

My desk is a butcher block inset in the corner of my kitchen. I have a black wooden saddle-stool that's often co-opted by my son. In an ideal world, the large monitor and full-size keyboard are waiting there for me to plug into my Macbook and write, but more often than not, the space is crammed with papers from Kindergarten, bills, the detritus of family life... I tend to grab my laptop and curl up on the couch.

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?

I'm from central Massachusetts, and my family has deep roots in upstate New York and Vermont. I've traveled some {never enough!], but I've always lived in this part of the country. The Northeast, with it's changing seasons, shore, forests, mountains, it's in my blood. I set a lot of my stories here in New England because there's so much of my heart here, and so much rich history to draw on.
