Meet the Author Monday: S.R. Fabrico

It’s Meet the Author Monday! Each week we meet a new author and get to know a little about them, their writing process, publishing experience, and tips for other writers. Today we’re talking to S.R. Fabrico, author of The Secrets We Conceal.

About S.R. Fabrico:

S.R. Fabrico is an award winning author born and raised a Yankee who loves NY-style pizza and Philly cheesesteaks. She was introduced to the amazing world of Southern BBQ after moving to Tennessee where she lives with her husband and two children. She considers her family her main priority, everything she does is for them. She attended college in the ’90s and received her degree in mathematics with a minor in secondary education, she went on to coach cheerleading and dance for 20 years winning a World Championship. She loves anything and everything creative, so writing has always been a hobby. When she isn’t writing, she likes to wife hard, mom hard, paint, read good books and watch good movies.

Writing THE SECRETS WE CONCEAL has been an incredible journey. Writing through paramount sadness recalling moments from the past was challenging, but also immensely gratifying. I am who I am today partly because of my life’s experiences, all of them. I believe a glass half full mentality is what keeps me going, I make a personal choice to find the good in all things each day and appreciate the gifts that each person in my life has to offer. My hope is that this book will shed light on an uncomfortable topic and allow others to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for choosing to read THE SECRETS WE CONCEAL.

Adding to the collection of books I am passionate about is a series of athlete journals. I have found renewed excitement in writing books for athletes of all types that will help them track the journey throughout their season. My Sports Journals are available in a variety of sports. I genuinely hope the journals will help guide athletes on their way to success.
