Cynthia with Anastasia Zadeik , writer, editor, and storyteller and Author of Blurred Fates

Anastasia Zadeik is a writer, editor, and storyteller. After graduating summa cum laude from Smith College with a degree in psychology, she had an international career in neuropsychological research while raising her children. She now serves as Director of Operations for the San Diego Writers Festival and as a board member for the literary nonprofit So Say We All. Anastasia lives in San Diego, where her home network is aptly called Sunny & 70. When she isn’t reading or writing, you can find her hiking, biking, swimming, practicing yoga, or hanging out with her husband, Tom, and their empty-nest rescue dog, Charlie. A frequent performer of narrative non-fiction in a hushed bar (check out the video page), her work has appeared in the San Diego Decameron Project, Literary Vine Review, and the award-winning anthology, Shaking the Tree: Short. Brazen. Memoir. Blurred Fates is her first novel.
