Who is Archer Atwood?

I have been called many names since I was born. I prefer to go by my middle name, Atwood. I am a die-hard New Englander who has been telling stories since childhood, but publishing was put off while family matters were attended to. Fiercely independent, I wouldn’t agree to the demands of mainstream publishing to sanitize and edit in order to make my books more appealing (in their minds) to the general public. This led to the world of self-publishing and “Archer Atwood Books”. And yes, my second love is traditional archery.

A born storyteller, before I was putting my plots to paper, I acted them out. As a kid my favorite venue as a child was Show and Tell. By middle school I was writing stories down on scrap paper and storing them in cast off cigar boxes. These were circulated to good friends. One day I will do something with those stories told from a child’s perspective.

It wasn’t until high school that I learned an important lesson: My high school creative assignments leaned toward the dramatic and dark. One teacher loved one of my short stories, while another gave me a low grade because he felt it was too melodramatic. I remember that day very clearly. We had a substitute teacher. When she laid my returned story on my desk, I grumbled angrily at the grade. She picked it up and began reading it. She stood right next to me and I could see her eyes scanning over my words, and I could hear the changing pattern of her breath sounds as she came to the scarier parts. Finished, she placed the papers back down on my desk, tapped them with her finger, and whispered, ‘I would have given you an A.’ and walked away. In that moment I learned that not everyone is going to like my writing style, so don’t be discouraged. I also learned how much fun it was to evoke emotions in a reader.

Life didn’t quite go as I planned. Convinced that art and writing for a living would not pan out a comfortable lifestyle, college was the next step. Carrying a full load of science courses, an emotional outlet was needed, and that was when Moonchild’s Prophecy was born. It was handwritten onto many pieces of paper. Unfortunately, because life got very busy back then, during and after college, those pages were not looked at again until many years later. By then I had started a family and there were only little bits here and there of free time to write. More spans of time came and went, until my four sons were older. Now I have come full circle. Back to weaving and telling stories and sharing them!

From a Reader: “Atwood, I can only tell you that your words, thoughts, and ideas not only entertain, enlightened and delighted me but, they gave me an insight into a part of me that I really never saw before. I find it amazing that you can sit at your computer and have this just flow out of you. I admire your talent and hope that you will continue to write.”

Pricing Policy:

Setting the cost of the books took considerable time. We did not want to make them too expensive, but we also did not want to devalue an author/artist’s work or the skill and time needed to craft their offering. What are people willing to pay for entertainment and art? If you think about the cost of going to a movie that is fleeting and the cost of a book or piece of art that you can read or view over and over, then I hope you don’t mind the prices we set.
