Silvia Acevedo: TV Journalist Having A Great Time With The God of Love

Interviewing Authors

Silvia Acevedo is a journalist turned novelist. In her 20 years in news, she’s interviewed presidential candidates, covered national and international stories, and given breaking news reports for CNN and local television and radio stations around the country. She also occasionally guest hosts a television morning talk show for the Milwaukee NBC affiliate. All those years of reporting objective fact enticed her to delve into her imagination in her off time, and so Ms. Acevedo brought fiction — particularly mythology — back into her life. When she did, the gods of old pestered her until she relented to write about one in particular. The result is her debut novel, God Awful Loser. She is currently working on its sequel, God Awful Thief, expected to be released in May of 2016.
