Mel “Pixi” Anderson is a twenty-nine year old author recently published through Publish America. Currently expanding her horizons into non-fiction autobiographical works, children’s fairy tales and lyricist. Finding her traditional outlet being her off beat hand in percussions, poetry and spoken word she aspires into everything from short essay’s on rather outspoken political views into environmental, theological and metaphysical works.

While she was born in Washington State, she made it a point after spending most of her youth in the judicial system to get out and see the States in all of their golden grain and purple mountain glory. After spending the better part of 8 years backpacking 48 of the 50 she has once again nested in the Evergreen State to pen out a bit more fluff, while comfortably keeping her gypsy title.

How ever growing up a ‘fallen through the cracks’ kid, has only sparked her imagination and unrestrained writing forms she eloquently manages to touch just about any status with her tender hand at poetry.

Her newest book "Precognitive Casualty: A book of profound revelations prolifically poetically premeditated through the art of rant and rhyme." is now available for purchase through most major book sellers.

"My hope is with this book people can open their eyes a bit to the idea that hey, maybe we aren't all perfect and hey, we all have problems but there's bigger issues than what allot of poets are known for being nice about. Yes, I'm glad I wrote this speaking out, yes I am proud I support my fellow Gypsies, Derelicts and Servicemen and other Artists.
I think I did well with just about covering the spectrum of what a poet can randomly write on a napkin in a bar, something inspired by a political- religious debate over a pool table in some random pub in some random town.
I pretty much covered the next generation gypsies unspoken Jack Kerouac's of today. Somehow we live on.
The true heartland Americana- patriotic non-sense in motion, tributes to my Tattoo artists, my Military, My Earth.
Oh yes, and then there were those romantic hateful moments in life. Yes, those are always fun.
The Survivors.
And then to top it all off some of the worst song lyrics I've ever written along with some of what I someday might call song lyrics and some stuff that has no business being shoved into a book of poetry! Basically I guess, it might even be a laugh, and definitely worth the 2.99 I would pay for it."

"I don't know anything about being the bad girl of poetry, I know I can be a bit "naughty" but I think I am really just a bit outspoken and not afraid to write about something un-pretty, not nice, a bit more than flowers and kittens and pretty love... though I do write about that too. I just think I would rather read something I can relate to so why not write that way?

I guess you could say I would prefer to be known as the trouble maker rather than the bad girl, and I can't wait to piss some people off with this book, though on the other hand I'm ecstatic to bring hope in the same dose. Really though, I just hope people aren't pissed they actually bought it after reading it, if I can accomplish that much, than my efforts have been well rewarded."

"I have to laugh at the fact most of the people who pre-ordered my book through my publisher and now bought it since its release have gotten their copies, I still haven't even seen it, though I love that even my closest friends who have read it can "balls up" enough to say what they read is NOTHING like they expected from a book of poetry. That in itself if nothing else is rewarding. I don't want to be expected, I would rather be... interesting. I absolutely warn people it will not be what they expect, oh no, even the first 2 pages are disclaimers from my publisher and myself but hey, if you have to go down as a literary bullet or flop, at least I can say it was worth taking the risk."

I'm into all sorts of things top that come to mind are;

Laughter:Laughing is definitely my favorite past time, so much so that I have sporadic hysterical random laughter outbursts. hey it could be worse right? I should have been a comedian, instead I only stalk them.. *grin*
I love comedy sarcasm dry witty humor.. if my sarcasm offends you, well you shouldn't have left yourself open for it !

I am an author of 6 books currently, though Precognitive Casualty is my first official mass published book available on the broad scale (for now) stay tuned for more upcoming works!

I am literally a walking contradiction in everything from my world political views to how much I love and hate every person who walks the Earth.

I am a bartender for life (someday will own my own bar)

I am a sensitive person and my feelings can be hurt easily. I'm a Pisces completely and utterly.

I don't have any kids ( I choose to live vicariously through others) though I do have 2 beautiful nieces and a tough as hell little stunt man of a nephew.

I am open minded and love meeting new people debating new things and learning something new daily.

Music,I'm a percussionist (see my music section!) poetry/writing (duh), digital imaging,(bet you didn't know!)
I love chain smoking when I'm bored, Drinking Jameson's Irish Whiskey like a fish, getting spankings when I'm bad and spinning in circles until I fall down.

Talking to Faeries, Singing in the shower, jumping in Mud puddles, Fishing, Moshing, Biting! Tats, Bikes, (Support your Local 81!) Cars, beer of all flavors,(Sam Summer Ale is My favorite or a nice can of PBR!) lol.. Sports.. HUGE sports junky...Die hard New England Fan (Sox/Pats) I don't really watch tv (sorry) I don't really listen to the radio either, most bands I listen to I met via myspace!!! So.. Hit me up with your music!!

I'm also huge into political,(yes I am an activist!!) theological and philosophical debates, just don't get me started when I've been drinking!!

I talk to myself quite often, more often than not and boy, do I have some great conversations.

My favorite heels are my six year old holey sneakers that have seen my best days.

I have no desire whatsoever to be a grown up, and in fact I intend to fight that inevitability with all good faith, form, function and imagination. To put it simply, yes my inner child can beat the hell outta your's.

I think that is a good summation.
The End!
