About VeronicaThePajamaThief
Bio: Veronica Marie Lewis-Shaw
Born in Lisboa, Portugal to parents of Portuguese/Russian descent, Veronica Marie and her partner of six and a half years, Christina Anne, celebrated their second wedding anniversary in October 2012. The couple are “still very much on honeymoon!”
Part time teacher/barista/student, Veronica’s long fascination with noir fiction prompted her to try her own hand at writing fiction – “the last two years have been a roller coaster!”, where she honed her ‘writing chops’ on an unsuspecting public over at Flash Fiction Friday and Phil Ambler's (formerly Lily Childs’) Friday Prediction.
Veronica has been published in Pulp Metal Magazine, The Lost Children: A Charity Anthology, the horror anthology 100 Horrors, from Cruentus Libri Press, and the inaugural issue of Literary Orphans magazine. She also appears in Katherine Tomlinson's anthology, NIGHTFALLS: Notes from the end of the world, Paul D. Brazill’s DRUNK ON THE MOON 2: A Roman Dalton Anthology and Near To The Knuckle's debut anthology - Gloves Off.
Veronica counts among her mentors - Carole A Parker, Lily Childs, Paul D Brazill, Richard Godwin and Joyce Juzwik. She is currently ‘polishing’ her first novel – a memoir – and working on the second draft of a second novel, as well as publishing a collection of her flash fiction and short stories.

I write like
The Lost Children: A Charity Anthology (Kindle)
Thats a good word. Always makes me think of an old movie from the black and white days. People seemed to be more liberal and care free than we are now. Even though they had more social rules, they didn’t have as much fear about being nice all the time.
Thank you, Laura.
I seem to have my nose in the thesaurus a lot lately! For this word, I opened it, closed my eyes and plopped my finger down on the page… woo hoo! I didn’t land on some mundane word like run! LOL!!
I don’t remember why I picked licorice now.
But it was nice to work out how to spell it once I did think of it. Spell check told me I was wrong with my first spelling of it. But, I like to type like I’m in a race and then fix the mistakes later.
Haha! I always have to fix right away… those little squiggly red underlines in WORD bug me too much! Lol!
