Born and raised in the upper Midwest, Savannah\u2019s gypsy spirit and never quit attitude keep her busy and seldom idle. For so many reasons, Savannah considers herself a \u2018Contemporary Vagabond\u2019 when it comes to writing and hopes that others find her diverse offerings as enjoyable to read as they are to write.<\/p>\n<p>As the primary owner and driving force behind Eclectic Bard Books she considers herself immensely fortunate to see writing from varied perspectives as she endeavors to publish the authors rostered there. Working with other writers, Savannah gets to expand her horizons every day as someone brings a new idea to the table and the brainstorming begins. There is something addictive about the creative process for her and helping other authors embrace their dreams make hers a reality daily.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the official Savannah, the unofficial version is just this: a girl who loves experiencing life with every twist and turn it takes. When she was born, she had such fine, light hair that her mother used to tape bows to her head so people would know she was a girl. She\u2019s had a host of crazy unrelated jobs- everything from cake decorator, dry cleaner, and insurance agent to Emergency Room assistant, bartender, crime lab tech and bouncer. Savannah loves air hockey but completely sucks at it. She loves good jazz, good scotch, and antiques but also old rock, a quiet tea, and a tidy home. She\u2019s completely technology impaired and can get it after she\u2019s broken the computer or done it ass-backwards a few times\u2026 Thank Gods that there are some amazing meme creators that let her pilfer images or she\u2019d be lost. Lime green is her color, the rhinoceros is her logo &amp; philosophy, and she\u2019s completely mad about seeing new authors try.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Savannah on Facebook: www.facebook.com\/authorsavannahverte<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the autumn of 1865 an unnatural fog blanketed the back river waterway between the ocean and the Savannah Georgia port.
