    The Write Path #10 - "The Nautical Novelist," Alison Gieschen!

    Alison Gieschen is an award-winning author, lifelong sailor, and horsewoman whose life story is as epic as the novels she writes. A former schoolteacher and graduate of the University of North Carolina Charlotte, Alison spent 30 years running an internationally successful equestrian program on her family farm in New Jersey. After raising three children with her husband Dan—whom she met during a sailboat race—they sold everything they owned to pursue their shared dream of circumnavigating the globe aboard their 43-foot sailboat. To date, Alison and Dan have traveled to 46 countries and recently crossed the Panama Canal, setting their course for the remote islands of French Polynesia. Her time at sea and her deep connection with both horses and people across cultures have inspired a powerful body of work spanning children’s literature, memoir, and adult fiction. Her books include the Rising Star Award-winning novel Blue Ridge, the magical children’s stories The Legend of Altor and Julia’s Vaulting Dream, and the nonfiction sailing memoir Riding the Waves of Reality: Tales of Turmoil and Triumph—with a sequel on the way. Her latest release, The Seven, is a sweeping and soul-stirring novel that blends fantasy with deeply rooted real-world experience. The story follows seven humans and seven horses in a tale that spans continents and cultures, asking one pivotal question: Can the hearts of a few determine the fate of all humanity? Alison is also preparing to release her newest children’s fantasy, Seanna: A Mermaid’s Tale—a story especially close to her heart. As someone who has always felt a magical connection to the sea and its mythical creatures, Alison brings the underwater world to life in this early reader chapter book. The story is being brought to even greater life through the artwork of seven-time international award-winning illustrator Barbara Owczarek, whose stunning illustrations add an extra layer of magic and wonder.

    The Write Path #008 - "The Story of..." with Shirley Novack...

    Author Shirley Novack, in her own words:  "I am a first-generation daughter of Polish/Russian parents.  Although I have always loved to write, it took several professions before I reached the one that I had only dreamed of achieving.  I recently published my second book, Stolen Lives, which is a fictional story based on human trafficking. My first book, The Story Of..., is a Historical Fiction novel.  It's loosely based on my own father's life.  I originally graduated from Fisher College in Boston with a degree in Laboratory Science.  After working in surgical research, I went on to teach the Medical Assisting program at the Bryman School in Brookline, Massachusetts.  Writing my first book and getting it published has been a dream come true.  I am currently working on my third novel, which is a sequel to Stolen Lives.  I think the thing I'm most proud of is living my dream at an age I never thought possible."  Listen now.  Her link for Female Fiction Authors:  http://womenfictionwritersassociation./ Welcome to the Write Path Podcast, where being an author, an actual author, still matters.
