I've always loved otherworldly plots whether in books, movies or on TV. That's why I write what I love. So glad to see the speculative fiction genre getting the attention it deserves.

- What You Need to Know About Me:
- As soon as she put fingers to keyboard to crank out her first novel, award-winning author, writer and former journalist, Stefanie Worth realized that normalcy didn’t fit into her plot. Contemporary, yes. Passionate, moreso. But ready yourself for twists and turns that whisk you from ordinary to otherworldy, from “what if” to “why not?” Stefanie’s debut novel, Where Souls Collide, recently won the Science Fiction category of the 2008 African American Literary Awards. Her latest work, a novella titled Can You Believe, appears in The Holiday Inn anthology. When not penning fiction, she directs communications for the local chapter of a national nonprofit.

What the Obama win means to me
For me, the belief Barack fostered in me long ago is one that doesn't end with the election. I am waiting to answer his next call to service for community and self. More than that, though, I can't help but reflect on my kids' experiences. With the three of them being so spread out, it offers me differing perspectives.
My 19-year-old college student cast his first-ever vote for Barack. As if that isn't powerful enough, I still see him standing on the brink of his future, but that road block "rig… Continue

Excerpt from "Can You Believe" in The Holiday Inn anthology
Fallon Terry would've bet her whole week's overtime pay that she'd never get her husband Naymond to Crystal Mountain. But, if she'd done that, she'd be broke— considering that he surprised her with a getaway to the Northern Michigan ski resort for their first anniversary. She teetered between anticipation and anxiety, wonder¬ing what other surprises awaited two flights and a few hours into her future.

Excerpt from Where Souls Collide
Prologue
May 9, 1990
St. Louis, Missouri
“Daddy’s dead!” Navena came running through the kitchen, back screen door slamming in her wake. “I saw it, Mama. I saw it.”
Then she fainted at her mother’s feet.
“Not my husband! Not today!” Audrey Ann Larimore spun toward the window above the sink.
Outside, the wind hissed. Silence pierced the air. There were no strains of “God Bless the Child” that always accompanied her husband’s work. No click-chop whirring from his manual push mower. Audrey Ann… Continue

Don't get high on your own supply
The theme of this blog will be instantly recognized by any true Scarface fan. Remember when Tony Montana’s “business” was getting off the ground and someone admonished him, “Don’t get high on your own supply”? Well, we all know how that turned out, but the phrase took on new meaning for me several days ago when I trekked down to my basement office for a good night’s write and found. . . get this. . .a dead bird under my desk.
Oh, yeah. I was totally creeped out.
