Welcome!
Hi! I'm S.B. Rizk, an overtired mom of two boys who stays up far too late each night, writing down the things I daydream about all day long when I should be asleep. While I always aspired to become an author, in my younger years, it seemed like an unachievable goal, so I followed my other passion, cooking. After taking culinary in high school, I attended Le Cordon Bleu and have worked in the kitchens of a local rehabilitation center and elementary schools. My favorite genres to read are horror and fantasy. I love to write feel-good stories that make people smile, which usually take the form of fantasy with some kind of magical charm and chaos. I'm inspired by books and movies from my childhood and tend to lean toward classic fairytales while constructing new worlds. When I'm not reading, writing, or hanging out with my kids I enjoy drawing and painting. So far, I have been published in three anthologies, two of which are also available as standalone ebooks. I am currently working on my first full-length novel, based on the characters from one of my short stories, and I can't wait to share more about it in the coming months.
