Roxanna Andrews: Hi, I'm sure no one remembers me. I have been gone forever. Between my job and my card business, I just haven't been on FanStory. My stories and poems appear on facebook now and then from years back when I posted them and remind me I haven't written in forever. I can't find my stories, do they get deleted after a while? I hope not. Anyway it's nice to be back. |

![]() Roxanna Andrews: I did something today that gave me great pleasure. I gave 95 of my books to a homeless ministry. My friend runs it, Word on the Street Ministries, and does an amazing work with the homeless. I asked him if he would like some books and he was thrilled. It gives me warm fuzzies to know a little homeless child will have a nice book for Christmas. |

![]() Roxanna Andrews: My profile picture is from my book due out in May sometime. "Izabella's Christmas Dream". I have posted it here, but this version is a bit longer as it is a single story book. It is part of the Super Pig series as well. Izabella is a little frog who dreams about the Baby King and in her dream she tries to find a gift to give the Little King. I just turned it in and haven't heard from the pub if it meets all the criteria for publishing. I'm sure there will have to be edits, but it is so close to being published. I'm very excited about this esp since the pub contacted me. |

Roxanna Andrews: I'll be off the site for a week, I go to CA to see my sister who has only a short time left on this earth. It may seem the cancer has won, but God numbers our days and He is always victorious! I will see her again, happy and cancer free. |

![]() Roxanna Andrews: I decided to use my real name instead of a code name. I guess I want people to be able to buy my books and say, "Hey, I wrote a review on this story." Wouldn't that be fun. You can say you knew me when.... |

In my humble opinion, satisfying your literary soul is more important than satisfying your readers. Creative writing is a sweet struggle. Trudge on. :) - | ||

Roxanna Andrews: I'm a football fanatic so my favorite quote is by one of my favorite football players Tim Tebow. It is from is book, "Through My Eyes." I highly recomment it, talk about inspiring. When I heard this quote I thought of Super Pig and how she wants to be so much more than just an ordinary pig. |

Roxanna Andrews: I write kid's books, Adventures of Super Pig. They are a bit silly, fun, and I hope build a bit of characture. My publisher went bankrupt so am starting over and now I have a second chance to improve my writing as well. |
