Author Interview with Esther van den Heuvel

1/24/2020

Who are you?

I probably have a split personality. My name is Esther van den Heuvel. Because this is such a tongue twister and it's both useful and fun to have a pen name, S.T. Hills was born. When I lived abroad my friends called me Estee and my Dutch surname translates into Hill. The plural version is due to the fact I have two bumps under my shirt.

Author Interview with K.C. Julius

Who are you?

I'm a hybrid author, a citizen of the world, a happily married wife, a mother of mine, his and those who've adopted us along the way, including various rescue dogs and cats. I'm a teacher, a sister, and a friend. I'm a walker in the woods, swimmer in lakes and a grateful celebrant of life.

Author Interview with Ethan Alexander

1/10/2020

Who are you?

This question might be one of the most complicated questions known to mankind. You can answer this in relation to the ego or on a more existential level, and in doing so, one can never fully sum up who they truly are, only a version of themselves based on their own perspective.

With that said, my name is Ethan Alexander and I'm a writer. I spend most of my time writing or thinking about writing. It's more than a passion for me; there's something spiritual about storytelling that I'm continuing to understand on a deeper level every day.

Book Review: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick

11/29/2019

An example of how "based on the book" means little in a film adaptation.

Set in a post-apocalyptic future, the majority of humanity that survived escaped our ruined planet. Meanwhile, Rick Deckard (a bounty hunter who couldn't' afford to leave) terminates androids who've rebelled from their biological masters and seek refuge on Earth. With more hindrance than help, Deckard hunts down a group of "andy's" with the goal to earn enough money to buy a real animal.
