I'm glad you liked the article. My author website is listed on the main page of my blog here (just go to my profile). I write fiction under the name Stephanie Woods (McKenzie is what I use to write non-fiction).
The books I have out so far in the world of fiction are "Earth Angel" and "Angel on My Shoulder." I am currently writing the third book in that series, which is called "Angels in Flight."
I'm also concurrently writing a new novel in a new series. It was going to be a standalone, but became the basis for a series, thanks to the characters themselves taking it in that direction. I don't have a name for the new series yet, but the first book in it, which I'm about 2/3 of the way done with the first draft, is called, "Sarah, Returned."
Hopefully, I'll have both "Angels in Flight," and "Sarah, Returned" on the market by the end of the year. :)
Hi @stephmckenzie. I love "Earth Angel." I'm recovering from a medical procedure, and just had a blast reading Earth Angel on my phone - the kindle version. Loved it, loved it, loved it. I left a review for you on Amazon as well. I loved your characters, and the multiverse you created as well. Certainly in line with my own experience - most of it anyway. (snicker). I don't see angels with my physical eyes, but I have seen my son't guardian angel in my dreams, and I have also seen an angel that kept telling me to wake up - on the day I went into the hospital 10 years ago. Their eyes are just as you describe them in the book.
Back to your book, I so enjoyed a new version of the fight between good and evil in a different context. And I loved how you empowered Lucy with powers that she didn't even know she had. I love paranormal, fantasy, sci fi fiction, and am always finding kernels of truth in them about new realities.
So thanks for the delightful experience. I'm looking forward to your 2nd one, but didn't see it on Amazon.
Looking forward to seeing your new Sarah, Returned.

@wecanbesublime I'm so glad you liked it. It's my first published novel, so your high compliments mean a lot to me. There are more surprises in store in the Angels and Seers universe, and you'll discover some of them, and hints of ones to come, in Angel on My Shoulder, the 2nd book in the series.
Angel on My Shoulder is told from four different points of view, as it takes place in so many different locations, and Lucy can't be everywhere. You will find chapters narrated by Ella, Jonathan, Lucy, and Sam, which gives you more insight into each of these major characters. Keep an eye on Lucy's brother, Matthew, as well. While her other brother, James, does more in Book Two, there are hints of a BIG role for Matthew in Book Three (that I'm writing right now).
Here's the link for Book Two, Angel on My Shoulder. I hope you like it as much as you liked Earth Angel, and thank you so much for the review.

How wonderful to have the link. Thanks @stephmckenzie. I went right to Amazon and bought the book right way. Thanks so much.
You are a very strong writer. Well done on your first novel. I can't wait to get on to the next one. I love movies and TV episodes when the characters become so real that they step out of their domain. Did you see the Start Trek Episode "Ships in a bottle" where Moriarty steps off the Holodeck because he is sure that he is real.? Or do you remember when Geordi recreates the inventor that helped create the ship, and then begins to fall in love with her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booby_Trap_(Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation)
I think I wrote to you that Diana Gabaldron works that way too in her writing letting the character do a scene/ I think I saw that on You Tube.
Can't wait until I see your book where the characters take over the plot direction. You are very welcome for the review. You deserve all that I said and more.

Thank you for ordering the second book. I hope you enjoy it.
I haven't watched much Star Trek....a little, but not much. I'm more of a Doctor Who girl (well, until they just announced they're making the character a woman after 53 years of him being a man....it just seems too much like a different character entirely for me to watch that). But, I DID see an episode of The Librarians (awesome show, by the way), where Moriarty came out of a book and took on a life of his own, and teamed up with a villain from one of Shakespeare's plays, who also came out of a book as a real person. The Librarians then had to work together to defeat them. It was pretty cool.
Let me know what you think of the second book. I think you'll like it. And, you'll have something to look forward to with the third book, which I hope to have out around the end of October. :)
