Profile Information

About Me:
Sheila Deeth has self-published several Bible books on Lulu. Scroll down for more information. She has also had short stories published in the online magazines, Nights and Weekends, Shine, and Joyful, and has had three short stories accepted for printed anthologies - Mythica Publishing's Maybe Tomorrow Anthology, Second Wind Publishing's Murder on the Wind Anthology, and Voicecatcher 4. Sheila grew up in the UK and has a Bachelors and Masters in mathematics from Cambridge University, England. She moved to the States with her husband and three sons in 1996 and recently became a US citizen. Since losing her job as a software QA engineer, she’s written two novels, several collections of children’s stories, and various illustrated Bible books, all of which she dreams of getting published one day.
Favorite Books, Authors, Writers:
I once confessed in a church meeting that the best book I'd read that week was by Steven King. I usually read several books at once, at least one serious fiction, one light, one religious non-fiction or science, and one short story collection. Jane Kirkpatrick is one of my favorite authors.
Have You Been Published

I asked Pat Bertram how she got to be a writer...

Ten recommended books

When I posted pictures of my books on one site someone immediately questioned whether I'd done any research. It seemed a pretty valid question really, but it would take forever to list all the books I've used. Still, ten's a good (and very symbolic) number, so here's ten readily available, pleasantly readable books that have helped me in my Bible studies.

1. Various translations of the Bible, including deuterocanonical and apocryphal books, the Jewish Study Bible Tanakh Translation—invaluable f… Continue

A chance to get one of my short stories published !

I entered Second Wind Publishing’s “Murder in the Wind” competition, and my short story is one of three short-listed for inclusion in the anthology.

So, if you want to read three really fun murder mysteries, just follow the link, or go to… Continue

I'm an ABNA quarter-finalist !!!

Okay, so ABNA, for those not addicted to writing competitions, means Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. This is the first year I've dared to enter. And I got an email from Amazon last night to say I'd reached the quarter-finals! That means me and 499 others, but there's "real" authors included in that list - people whose books I've bought and paid for and read and thoroughly enjoyed (including Sarah Collins Honenberger, whose Waltzing Cowboys I reviewed last week). So it may be raini… Continue

I am an illustrator/designer/agent and am looking forward to getting to know you and I would love to see your work.

Just wanted to stop in and say hi and also let you know that my "Back to School" sales promotions for authors and publishers are ending soon.

If interested in cover design or book illustration at less than publisher's normally discounted pricing and want to reserve your spot in the short amount of time left in 2008 (and my calendar is filling fast) visit my site or call me:

Let me know what you think of my work...

Fabulous, another mathematician. (My major at UC Riverside.) I love it when writing and math cross paths. So happy to have you here on the network. Do let us know if there's anything we can do to make your stay here better, or if I can help you navigate the waters.

My best.

Monica
