About this author

Shykia Bell was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, by her parents, Mildred and William. After earning a bachelor's degree in Communication Design, she held a variety of jobs and her design and production work has been published in newspapers, magazines, television, billboards as well as the NYC transit system. Eventually, Shykia felt the need to shift gears in not only her career, but her life as well. After resigning from her most recent job as a graphics coordinator, she began writing as a therapeutic form of expression. It didn't take long for her work to transform, ultimately resulting in the creation of Camileon.

Shykia resides in Brooklyn with her husband Max and their pet black cat and cockatiel. At present, she is diligently working on...more



Watching the back-and-forth exchange of the whole gun debate I cringed upon witnessing how nasty people have been treating one another for simply having conflicting opinions. It’s absurd that so many people have the mentality that “I respect your opinion as long as it’s what I want to hear.” It’s okay to disagree with one another, but there are ways to do so respectfully. Sadly, I’ve seen a lot...

“Imagination is the golden-eyed monster that never sleeps. It must be fed; it cannot be ignored.”
Patricia A. McKillip

Ray Bradbury
“If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories — science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”
Ray Bradbury
