I was recently asked by Author and friend Emerald Barnes to answer the following  questions.  What are you working on? I am working on my Nano novel Clarity now that Closure is out.   How does your work differ from others of its genre? Well my work differs from others because I try to focus on characters that needed to find some type of resolve and go through some type of transformation as they go through their journey. For example my novella Closure talks about abuse and it tells the story of a young girl who loses her mother to cancer and then her father becomes an alcoholic and makes her life unbearable and it is about a journey for both of them.    Then Clarity was inspired when in last year in July 2013 I woke up to the news that a beloved character from one of my favorite show Glee had passed on.   I then began this story in November for Nano and created Mia Gerard who has lost her fiancée Leo Dancy and begins to try and r...

After writing and publishing a few anthologies with a great team of authors, I am excited to announce that I am approaching the final stages to publishing my first novella entitled, Closure. Here is when hard work and fun meet. Before Closure receives its final edit, and sent to print, I need some Beta Readers to read and provide honest feedback. For those who have followed my blog, you know I have been working tirelessly on this piece since last year, and now it is in the hands of my editor. If you are interested in reading and providing honest feedback (prior to print); please contact me. Below is a brief synopsis. I hope you enjoy, and thank you for all your support!

Devastated by the loss of his wife, Garrison neglects his daughter and turns to the bottle for solace. Desperate to feel l...

Hello Everyone, Thanks to everyone for supporting my page!   My name is Sylvia Stein, and I just wanted to say   what an exciting year it has been!  I was able to publish two anthologies with my LinkedIn Writers 750 Group.

I am excited to share some very exciting news.  For the past seven months I have been working on my very first solo Novella which I have titled, " Closure". This story began in one of my writing classes.  However after talking with a very good friend and writer I was convinced   that this story needed to be told.  Therefore, I began with a few chapters and then it expanded into a novella. Closure is the story of Sara James who after experiencing the death of her beloved mother Lila as a child then has to endure abuse and negelct from her father Garrison who becomes a drunk after the devastating loss of his wife.  This story details the journey that Sara endures as a child and througout her youth and later into womanhood.  Sara is left reeling from the abuse and then is able to escape and rebuild her life...
