Author's Photo

Sylvia Massara has been writing since her early teens and has written a number of plays, screenplays, and, most recently, novels. Massara lives in Sydney, Australia, with husband, Nick, and four-legged daughter, Mitzy.

Massara's favourite genre is chick lit, and she has a soft spot for chicks who are on the cusp of 40 and beyond. Yes, chicks still date after 40! To prove this, she's written The Other Boyfriend (loosely based on her own life experience while she lived briefly in Taiwan and Hong Kong), and soon (around January 2011) she'll be releasing another chick lit novel called Like Casablanca. This is a cross between internet dating and Rick's Cafe (also loosely based on her life) seeing as she met her present hubby through internet dating at age 42. And who said a woman has more chances of being killed in a terrorist attack than being married after age 40? Massara sure proved them wrong!

Massara has also written a general fiction drama, The Soul Bearers, available in eBook and soon to be released in paperback. She is also the creator and host of "The Lit Chick Show," a literary blog run as a virtual TV show, featuring authors from all around the world who showcase their work. The blog show is highly interactive, features special guests, and offers tidbits on anything literary. Visit the show at www.litchickshow.com.
