Sharon and the Beast: (Large Text Edition)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dorothy Paula Freda, writing under her pseudonyms Paula Freda and Marianne Dora Rose, is a wife, homemaker, mother and grandmother, and former off-the-desk publish-er of a family-oriented print small press, (1984 thru 1999), The Pink Chameleon, that she now publishes on line, www.thepinkchameleon.com She was raised by her grandmother and mother, and has been writing for as long as she can remember. Even before she could set pen-cil to paper, she would spin her stories in the recording booths in the Brooklyn Coney Island Arcades for a quarter per 3-minute record. She states, ＂I love the English language, love words and seeing them on display, typed and alive. A romantic at heart, I write simply and emotion-ally. I love writing, despite that I still have much to learn, and am grateful for any con-structive feedback. Although I’ve no fancy that I will ever be famous, or even want to be, my hope is that my writing will bring entertain-ment and uplift the human spirit. If someday in the future, someone reads my work and feels the better for it, then I have fulfilled myself.＂ One of my former editors kindly de-scribed my work, ’...her pieces are always deep, gentle and refreshing....’＂
