Saturday May 21, 2011 promised to be a crucial day to some people who believed a rapture would occur and save all the people who believed, leaving those who well…didn’t. As far as most of us can tell the world is still spinning on its same axis with almost all the same people who started […]
On the eve of May 21, 2011 I was also on the eve of completing this novel and it struck me – Spindler created a rapture of sorts on Key West years before that she described perfectly throughout this book. The eerie feeling of deja vu made Dead Run even more exciting of a read […]
Jason Emerson is a man of many talents who knows his passion. Although I normally sway to interviewing fictional authors I knew I had to find out more about Emerson, his books and articles and what better way to discover more about something than to ask questions? Emerson has studied the Lincoln’s for many years, […]
Lots of people talk in their sleep but few will ever know it or admit it. I know it and I confess. And now it’s payback time! When my now husband and I first started dating and living separately, he was a night owl and I was a sleeper. I would wake up and call […]
A typical biography is boring and makes for a dull read. I attended a workshop recently where we were asked to write our own short biography but to jazz it up, make it something people want to read and so I did. I started writing it as I would want my obituary to read, in […]

A.F. Stewart is an author from Nova Scotia, Canada (my home province) who has a history of writing poetry and fantasy stories. She has been writing for several years but like many of us writers her life often interrupts her fantasies. You can find her on Goodreads, LinkedIn, Twitter and, of course, Facebook. Like many […]
Remembering what was, an event or a name, is not frightening in itself, it’s what tricks memory can play on ones mind that scares me. A young child, learning to walk, speak, trust, be a human stores so much away but also leaves many lessons behind. Almost no one, if anyone, can visualize when they […]
Reading, writing, and encouraging others to do both have always been passions of mine so I was thrilled yesterday when it all came together beautifully once again. For Christmas I unwrapped a novel from an author I never heard of before – Erica Spindler. Apparently my parents have been reading her work for years and […]
