Author Event: "Any Witch Way" by Annastaysia Savage (young adult/middle grade)

Join us as we welcome children's middle grade author Annastaysia Savage as she reads and presents her book "Any Witch Way"

Enduring the teasing and ridicule of her school mates, Sadie struggles through life as a pre-teen on the eve of her 13th birthday. Three years ago, a car crash took her mother, but Sadie never saw her body. She refuses to believe her mother is really gone. Holding fast to that feeling earns her the nickname "Crazy Sadie." 

Annastaysia Savage is both a writer and an artist. She earned her BFA in Fine Arts, with honors, from Arizona State University. She is one residency shy of an MA in Creative Writing from Wilkes University and is currently pursuing her MFA in Painting and Illustration from The Academy of Art University.  She has had several short stories published in the last few years, her most recent a flash fiction piece for children and young adults in Crow's Nest Magazine called "Grimalkins" and a short story in the anthology: Journalstone's 2010 Warped Words for Twisted Minds. She is a member of The International Women's Writing Guild, The Association of Writers and Writing Programs , the Society of Children's' Book Writers and Illustrators, the National Art Education Association and the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

She currently resides on the South Eastern Connecticut Shore with her husband, dog and three cats, one of which is a ghost, in a haunted house that was built in 1650, all of which give her plenty of inspiration and fodder for the imagination.
