About Anita Kovacevic

Anita Kovacevic is a multigenre author of both children's and adult fiction. Her belief in the power of storytelling has been strengthened through her years of teaching and teacher training. As a member of an international teaching community, she has also participated in a worldwide charity anti-bullying e-book Inner Giant, which, among others, features some of her first short stories, essays, illustrations and poems. Since then, she has been invited to participate in several anthologies, alongside a number of renowned international authors.

You can read her reviews, book news and author interviews on her Wordpress blog Anita's Haven. A recent nickname, 'The Invisible Cheerleader', refers to her support for independent authors and promoting books and reading in general, not so much her athletic abilities.

Anita enjoys writing stories which come to her on her 'dreamstep', blending reality and magic, and has a quirky fondness for writing limerick stories. She lives with her husband and children in Croatia, where she graduated from university with a degree in English and Spanish Literature.

Free time? - Non-existent.
Current work-in-progress? - Yes, there is always one. OK, two. Well, several.

These 14 short stories come from those shaded corners; the shadowy recesses of our minds where deceit and revenge take refuge. Only to surface when we choose to be most unpleasant to our neighbors, our colleagues, our lovers, and to our families—and even our species.

by Mark Fine, Geoff Nelder, Jean Gill, Charlie Flowers, Elizabeth Horton-Newton, Anita Kovacevic, Julie Mayerson Brown, Neil Newton, Glen Barrera, Michelle Medhat, C.A. Sanders

( 10 )

$2.99

A unique short story anthology curated by the readers and editorial team of READERS CIRCLE OF AVENUE PARK (#RCAP). It's a global effort, literally, with contributions from 15 authors across exhausting time zones that extend from Africa, Europe, America and Asia. This is the cryptic one-liner each author gave to describe their twisted tales...

ROBYN CAIN: Consider carefully where you walk the dog.
GLEN BARRERA: A burglar has an unexpected encounter with a very large dog.
JOE BREWER: A young man's plan for his future takes an unexpected twist.
MICHELLE MEDHAT: Some pasts never let go!
ALEX SHAW: Essex villain Big Chris Cotton wants to leave his life of crime for one of sun, sex and sangria, but will his past let him go?
ANITA KOVACEVIC: A woman goes job-hunting and stumbles upon a mother who is trying to save her son's life from a bully in a completely unexpected way.
C.A. SANDERS: A group of New York City children play a street game with a mysterious stranger and their souls as the prize.
NEIL NEWTON: A cutting edge linguist launches the definitive study of dialect and finds out there is more to the structure of the universe than he suspects.
LUBNA SENGUL: Battle of two minds, Julian must decide his fate.
J. MAYERSON BROWN: Cheating once is forgivable. But twice?
JEAN GILL: Coming of age is tricky for an unwanted zodiac sign.
CHARLIE FLOWERS & HANNAH HAQ: An English nationalist and a Muslim girl share a long train ride and find that more brings them together than divides them.
GEOFF NELDER: A grape-sized micrometeorite hits John's house at the same time every day. Help!
ELIZABETH NOREEN-NEWTON: Gaunt Thibideaux was a man of habits. And you know what they say. "Old Habits" die hard.
MARK FINE: An exotic foreigner finds his beautiful bride is now bored with him. Is it the end of their domestic bliss or is there a twist?

To retain a distinctive international flavor (or ‘flavour’) each story is in the English style of its author, so some stories are in British English, some in American, and some reflect the jargon of a region.

P.S. 'Twisted Tales' is mixed-fruit jam for the soul. Laugh, cry, dwell deep and sigh. Enjoy!

The Question Mark Method Nov 1, 2019

by Anita Kovacevic

$3.74

Teaching anything is never an easy process. Keeping things simple is possibly the best way to go about it. After all, if you can't explain something simply, then you don't know it well yourself.
This booklet is my simple method of approaching teaching, learning, planning and assessing. This is the method which made my most complicated tasks doable, helped my quietest learners talk, my non-writing learners write, and my overwhelmed teacher trainees focus and grow.
The method is applicable to any area of education, and examples are provided from my work experience. There are planning examples, as well as learning games.

Versus Verses - Imagine Jul 27, 2018

by Anita Kovacevic

$1.31

Poetry is my therapy, my meditation,
a world quite close to the real one,
and yet in another dimension.

There are no rules, no restrictions,
no rights or wrongs about poetry.
Perhaps that is why it is so liberating.

This is the third volume in my poetry collection.
It is called Imagine, and it will show you
fantasy and nature details, both the light and the dark ones,
which inspire me, frighten me and represent
worlds entirely their own.

( 6 )

$2.99

When a family of four faces the brutal reality of their city life, they readily embrace a complete change. Emma and David Stone, with their kids Jeremy and Dot, move to a small town with their big hopes. However, small towns have their own secrets – from urban legends about The Forest of Trees to family skeletons in closets everyone knows about.
Gradually, Jeremy and Dot make some new and unusual friends, whereas Emma and David start working again, and things seem to be going for the better. But evil never rests. The Jacksons, a bigoted and brutal family of pig farmers, however scary, are not the only ones leaning towards malice. The more new friendships grow, the more villains will struggle to retain power. Will the arrival of the newcomers tip the scales in favour of the good or the evil? And how can The Forest of Trees play its part in the solution?
The life between the legendary Forest of Trees and the small town of Tillsworth is separated only by a road. All it takes to reconnect is to take that path.
