Meet Ed Ahern- Author

September 6, 2016 By Charlotte Holley Leave a Comment

Gypsy Shadow Publishing Author Ed Ahern

Ed Ahern

Fascinating individual describes Ed Ahern. His modern fairy tales overflow with the vividness of his imagination and his talent as a storyteller. Gypsy Shadow’s  Fireflies, New Springs, Legends and Wee Folk Genres feature young adult and children’s stories, folk tales and fantasy. His The Witch Made Me Do It fits nicely in each of these categories. As a result, you will find something to enjoy and hopefully share with others in this collection of modern fairy tales!

The Witch Made Me Do It by Edward Ahern

Interview with children’s fairy tale and fantasy author Ed Ahern:

How old were you when you first started to write?

Ahern: At sixteen, I started out writing obituaries for a weekly newspaper; my first paying job writing. About the same time, I completed my first fiction story, a shoot-em-up bodice ripper that never got published, and which I fortunately lost many years ago. Additionally, my junior year in high school, I wrote my first poem, a stinker about ants that got published in the school newspaper.

What motivates you to write?

Ahern: My motivation varies with the type of writing, and where I am as a writer. My non-fiction is limited to articles about fly fishing for Atlantic salmon, written to help other anglers and show off what a hot shit angler I am. An initial goal when I resumed writing fiction and poetry was publication. But now, some three hundred published pieces and reprints later, I write what I hope is decent and not what I think an editor will like. Atlantic Salmon Spawning - Natl Geographic

I write really because I like telling prose stories and conveying poetic thoughts and emotions. Like probably most performers I live for the enjoyment and appreciation of an audience.

What’s your favorite non-writing activity?

Ahern: In order of personal importance: family first, then reading, fly fishing, shooting, online diversions like Facebook and Twitter, and exercising.

Are you an activist, or is there a particular area of conservation or compassion you are passionate about?

Ahern: Activist is probably too strong a term for me. Nonetheless, I’m a conservationist and support organizations like Trout Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited and the Atlantic Salmon Federation. I no longer support the NRA, their views on gun control are not mine (nor the majority of NRA members)

Do you have pets?

Ahern: No pets at present, but a past with, serially, one cat and three dogs. I’ve spent over forty years living with household animals, and I’m not counting the gerbils and goldfish.

Are you an only child or do you have siblings?

Ahern: I’m the first of three, with a sister and brother lined up behind me.

Are you married—and do you have children? What do you love about your relationship?

Ahern: Married forty-nine years in November, 2016. My stock line in the bio is that I have my original wife, but that after so many years together we’re both out of warranty. Two children, five grandchildren. We’re very close emotionally but not geographically.

What is the most significant thing that has happened during your lifetime?

“I survived.”

Ahern: I survived. I was a sport diver as a teenager and a Navy diver and bomb disarmer while in service. Then almost ten years living overseas as an intelligence operative, then another quarter century avoiding the conflicts and disease in second and third world countries. Almost swept away twice while wading where I shouldn’t have in turbulent rivers.

What do you read and what is your preferred medium?

Ahern: Two part answer. Pro Bono I handle a stable of review readers and sit on the review board for Bewildering Stories, which entails reading and evaluating around 25,000 words/week. My leisure reading alternates between literary fiction, genre fiction and nonfiction. The leisure reading is almost always from a physical book.

What are your favorite books?

Ahern: There are too many to list. I tend to keep or buy a book I really like, and there are well over a thousand books squirreled away in the house. And my tastes have changed over the decades. The Tarzan and Tom Swift books I read as a child seem pretty awful now, although I loved them then. I continue to make dedicated efforts to plow through Ulysses and Infinite Jest. I love the writing but get so frustrated that I put them back down for awhile. I do reread Tolkien fairly frequently.

Who are your favorite authors?

Ahern: Another “it depends” answer. Some authors are comfort food- George R. R. Martin for example. Some authors are annoyingly good—the short stories of Flannery O’Connor and Andre Dubus. Some authors recompose English into brittle brilliancy—David Foster Wallace.

If you had a gift certificate for $100 worth of books, where would you begin browsing and what would you buy first?

Ahern: No hesitation. Collectable books on Atlantic salmon fishing. I’d need more than a hundred dollars though.

New Springs Genre: Youth and Young Adult Fiction

August 27, 2016 By Charlotte Holley Leave a Comment

We have a number of authors of the New Springs Genre. Age 12 to young adult covers a lot of ground and our talented authors have created something for everyone!

John Paulits, author of the Philip Series, from the USA, and Violetta Antcliff, author of the Adventures of Jason Foster Series, from England, the United Kingdom, each have adventurous preteen boys and girls involved in sleuthing and generally discovering life as it comes. Hendrik van Oordt, from The Netherlands, authored The Mystery of Whale House and Anne Petzer, expat of South Africa and resident of the Czech Republic penned (or typed!) the Zvonek series. Manon Daniels wrote and illustrated Lucy’s Dreams and her husband, Ivano Massari, wrote Sirion; they wrote these books in Ireland, but now reside in the Netherlands. There are scads more authors and books! It is such an adventure to be an international eBook publisher. We are truly privileged to offer these works to you!

Please make yourself at home and find a book to take you and your children on adventures far and wide.

The GHOST Group Book 2: The GHOSTS of The Irish Setter and The Missing Hiker by Dawn Colclasure

http://gypsyshadow.com/DawnColclasure.html#GHOSTGroup2

Cover Art by Manon Daniels Massari http://www.manondanielsmassari.yolasite.com/

There’s something different about Sarah Town. It’s brimming with ghosts – and some of those ghosts need help! That’s where the GHOST Group comes in – the Ghost Helpers of Sarah Town. The GHOST Group is made up of five 11-year-old team members: Jesse, Jenny, Ryan, Trent, and Cassie.

The Ghost of the Irish Setter is a “ghost dog” story where team member Jesse must come to terms with losing his dog, Lolly, after she ran away. A ghost dog that is an Irish setter seeks Jesse’s help, but when the rest of the GHOST Group join the case, it becomes a matter of life or death after Cassie and Ryan are kidnapped! Can the GHOST Group help the ghost dog? And can Jesse find out what really happened to Lolly?

In The Ghost of the Missing Hiker, a day of April Fool’s hijinks turn into another mystery for the GHOST Group. Meanwhile, the group’s helper ghost, Adam, has some bad news for the team, and Jenny realizes she must accept her special gift and learn how to use it so she can help other ghosts in Sarah Town.
