Guest Biography:
Anita Waggoner 
Distinguished writer and entrepreneur 

Bio

Anita Waggoner, a distinguished writer, currently calls Coeur D Alene, Idaho, home. Fueled by a deep passion for crafting and producing award-winning films, she stands out as a fearless entrepreneur and an independent woman. With a rich background in business, writing, marketing, and a profound understanding of the western way of life, Anita has proven time and again that she is relentless in her pursuit of success.

Her academic journey led her through business college in the vibrant city of Seattle. Following her education, Anita served as a paralegal and office manager for a highly successful law firm in Seattle. Later, in partnership with her ex-husband, she became the owner of several car dealerships in Washington State.

After navigating the challenges of divorce, Anita embarked on a transformative journey to the remote town of Freedom, Oklahoma. There, she invested in a sprawling 3400-acre ranch, raising rodeo bulls alongside a local cowboy partner. Her bold investments included the construction of a lodge, arena, and restaurant. The thirteen years spent in Freedom equipped her with the resilience needed to thrive in the rugged world of ranching and rodeo.

Anita Waggoner presently resides in Coeur D Alene, Idaho. A gutsy entrepreneur with an extensive marketing and writing background, she's an outgoing, strong independent woman who has lived a life most would only dream of. Anita has the creative ability to show readers how to overcome hurdles and disappointments in their own lives. Her stories are generally based somewhat on personal life experiences. The writer has an uncanny propensity to move the story forward. Once a reader opens a book written by Anita Waggoner, they don't want to put it down. Not everyone who writes gets why Ernest Hemingway or John Steinbeck were such revered authors, but Anita completely understands what makes a good storyteller. I wish she had become an author before her first book in 2010. Then again, all her life experiences were important for her to pen her successful works. A good storyteller must capture the reader on the very first page. She does, and then she goes on to produce a captivating plot with intriguing characters. She creates early on the themes with which she deals consistently and uses direct dialogue to develop her characters and their actions. Her vocabulary portrays vivid descriptions of her surroundings, and she makes the reader feel right there where the action is taking place. Everything she writes about can be visualized. Anita has amazing talent as a writer. She has not only published novels but short stories and books of inspirational quotes and self-help. She has more work out there than what Amazon has listed...a prolific writer in such a short time.

Anita walked away from a privileged lifestyle in the city and moved to Freedom, Oklahoma to escape the heartache of divorce.

While in Oklahoma, Anita and her unique business ventures were regularly featured in local newspaper publications. She appeared on Oklahoma based television shows Discover Oklahoma and Doc Geiger's Outdoor Sports. In 2004 Reality TV came knocking. Anita worked for a year with Telepictures and Warner Brothers Studio on the production of a reality television show about life on a dude ranch. Anita was subsequently featured in in an expose' about her Reality TV involvement in the National Enquirer.

Her books: Freedom, Myrtle's Story, Cowgirl Logic, The Gambler, and The Ranch at Huckleberry Ridge are available on Amazon. Anita writes screenplays based on her novels. The Freedom film project is in preproduction.

Virginia Bennett
Author of Snowed

Bio 

Stunning Memoir Of A Woman Who Loves A Pathological Liar Champions The Cause Of Millions Of Women Trapped In An Unhealthy Relationship

“In a candid memoir, a middle-aged woman traces the trajectory of her addictive relationship with a manipulative sociopath…. A chilling dissection of entrapment in and escape from an abusive relationship….. Virginia realized that her marriage was not sustainable and Liam was a danger to her family’s livelihood and her own emotional stability. But getting away from an experienced schemer who had embedded himself in her life and her heart would not be easy. Bennett’s memoir of her painful second marriage is honest and intimately revealing. As the details of Liam’s abuses mount, it becomes increasingly hard to understand why Virginia doesn’t end the relationship much sooner, but she does a skillful job of conveying the isolation and loss of personal power women experienced in emotionally abusive marriages.”

What would you do if you were a 40ish single mother of two while busy helping to run a large family farm, and you enjoyed a blind date with a good-looking, smooth-talking, charismatic guy? What if he makes you feel protected, loved, and desired in bed? If you were Virginia Bennett, you would marry him – and then you would see your life nearly get ruined for welcoming a pathological liar into your family.

Snowed, penned by Virginia, is her raw, honest, and engrossing tale of love gone so very wrong, revealing how millions of women like her get lured into the controlling, manipulative, and abusive arms of men. Her now ex-husband, Liam, is one such man.

“I could have lost it all – my family, the land, and my relationship with God,” writes Virginia.

“I almost lost it to a person who violated my code of ethics, fabricated his credentials, and whose words meant absolutely nothing,” writes Virginia. “Someone who seemed so polite and educated, and yet, underneath it all, was deceptive and nefarious. During the latter days of our marriage, and on the brink of divorce, Liam O’Connor had made me feel so bad about my family loyalty. He scorned me as if I were doing something wrong to have chosen my family and inheritance over him. In the end, though, I made the right choice. I chose blood and land.”

Her story is a warning shot to women: know who you are getting into bed with. Literally.

When Virginia, the heir to a large family farm, meets Liam, a handsome, engaging forty-something, on a blind date, she falls for his good looks and charisma. Their shared background in farming brings them together, but after they get married, Virginia notices that something is amiss. As Liam asserts his authority on the farm, leading to conflict with her father, Virginia is unsure who to trust. She ultimately uncovers the truth of who Liam is and the secrets of his past. In this thought-provoking memoir, Virginia reveals how she overcame betrayal, offering poignant insights into pathological love relationships. 

This memoir captures the essence of what it means to be snowed. She wed a con man of the heart, leaving her to feel she never really knew him. Their dysfunctional relationship made her feel she married an impostor.
