Joie Schmidt, author of "Dreams of the Heart", a
compilation of poems about love, life, loss and inspiration, has been
independently pursuing her writing dreams for the past four years. In
October 2010, she was contacted by a publisher who discovered her online
writing and offered to manage / publish / market / interview Schmidt on
an on-going basis. In January 2011, three months later, "Dreams of the
Heart" was published. (In memoriam of the 3/11 tragedy in Japan all
proceeds from "Dreams of the Heart" books sales will go to the relief
effort until 3/11/12)
In February 2011, she was interviewed for her book. The interview is
featured on a site among approximately 20 other authors, several of
whom are NY Times Bestsellers and / or award winning recipients. She is
beyond honored and blessed to be in the company of such incredible
talent.
Currently, Schmidt is working on a second compilation book of poetry
that will be published August 2011 as well as the novel series of her
dreams. Her north stars are authors of unparalled success like JK
Rowling and Agatha Christie. Some of the authors she holds dearest to
her heart include Shakespeare, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Robert Frost.
