Where Awesome Book Readers Meet Awesome Writers

1. The Terminus by Oliver Eade - A physician, born in London now living in the Scottish Borders, Oliver Eade has published over forty short stories and four children’s novels. One, Moon Rabbit, a winner of the WAAYB 2007 New Novel Competition, was long-listed for the 2008 Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize. His debut adult novel, A Single Petal, set in Tang Dynasty China (Oliver’s wife is Chinese) was the winner of the 2012 Local Legend Writing Competition and his first young adult novel, The Terminus, has just been published. His one act surreal play, The Gap, went on tour in the Scottish Borders in 2012 and he was also SCPSW 2010 ‘Writer of the Year’. Oliver follows no particular genre but is often drawn to that space that lies between reality and fantasy – the space into and out of which children slip so easily in their play, the place of myths and legends and the magical realism of Latin American writers like Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Isabel Allende. He is also a keen photographer, having completed a diploma in photography.

4. Lovergirl by Dahlia Schweitzer - DAHLIA SCHWEITZER is a writer, curator, educator, and performer. Her books, articles, concerts, and installations--found across mass/mainstream, critical/academic, and emergent/underground channels--touch upon themes of media and identity; sexuality and femininity; decay and reinvention. Sometimes her intention is to critique and suggest, others to transform and advance, and yet others to arouse and entertain. Schweitzer's other works include erotic fiction (Seduce Me, Queen of Hearts, Breathe With Me, I've Been a Naughty Girl); cultural criticism (Some Kind of Monster: Cindy Sherman's Office Killer); impassioned essays in publications including Hyperallergic and The Journal of Popular Culture; and an album of electronic dance music (Plastique). A former resident of Berlin, Tel Aviv, and New York City, Schweitzer currently lives in Los Angeles. Here, in the city of angels (and devils), she teaches critical thinking and creative writing while working toward her PhD at UCLA.
   
5. She Does Not Fear the Snow by Bobbie Ann Cole - I’M BOBBIE ANN COLE, AKA THE TESTIMONY LADY. I’m a writer and a teacher of creative writing. I teach people how to write their Christian testimony in an engaging way, equipping them to share with confidence and power at http://testimonytrain.com. I’ve had a lot of practice at writing. I started at age six with my own version of ‘Hansel and Gretel’, which I wrote on the back of my school report: ‘But it didn’t go cwit the way they had inspecte. The birds et all the crums up.’ I’ve had less practice at Christianity, just over six years, in fact. It all began during Sunday worship in a Jerusalem church where, as a practicing Jew, I wasn’t supposed to be. But I was looking for something and I responded to God’s call. He began to bless me. As I followed His road map of signs and wonders, my negative attitude changed. It led to a new husband of faith. Mine is a ‘Ruth’ story and the name of my Boaz is Butch. He’s a Canadian, from the Maritimes. She Does Not Fear the Snow was a 2012 Munce Prize Winner.
