Fresh New Science-Fiction Author's First Book is Published

Philadelphia, PA, June 21, 2006 --(PR.com)-- A.M. Baker-Engel carried her ideas for this first book for 29 years, jotting pieces of the story down off and on through the years. The last 10 years she got serious about her writing and finished the saga of her main character, The Chosen, in 4 manuscripts.

The author’s writing is fast paced, very intriguing, keeps the reader wanting more. A.M. Baker-Engel has always loved Science Fiction and history, her book is a fascinating twining of the two. It took her years of research and ancient map reading to fit all together with her story ideas and the illustrations in her book are the author’s own art work. “I must be honest,” the author said about her writings of Science Fiction based on historical fact, ”after the umteenth editing my characters started to write their own words and form their own personalities and it all fell into place. There were places, as I wrote, that brought me to tears and some that made me laugh. My characters got me so involved I could not stop writing until I ended with not one but, four manuscripts and many fascinating creatures, and am now researching a possible fifth. I had a friend read my first manuscript, Unique Phenomenon - The First Story of The Chosen, and she said she could not put it down, I was so gratified and knew I finally had it right, a book people would enjoy. I can’t wait to have the next books, DNA Warriors, What Secrets Mars and Binding of the Two, of my saga of The Chosen to hit the presses!”

A.M. Baker-Engel was born in Seattle, Washington, raised in Grass Valley, California and is now retired in Pennsylvania. She spent 35 years managing and supervising in electronics and dabbles in oil and pastel painting and yard landscaping. Lives with her husband their two dogs, Shadrac and Mugzee. She is an avid reader and loves the summer above all seasons. Visit the author’s website: www.publishedauthors.net/bakerengel
