I am excited to introduce you all to the work of Stacy Bender, the first new author featured on this site!
I have had the privilege of meeting Ms. Bender, and hearing a sneak preview of her work. She is an amazing author, artistic in her depiction of the world she has created and the characters therein. Her debut novel, ‘Emerald Tears’ captured my imagination from the first page.
BOOK SUMMARY
Set in the Art Deco era of the 1930s, Emerald Tears is a mixture of science fiction, mystery, history, action, and a touch of romance written in pulp fiction style.
Emerald Tears is the first novel in Stacy Bender’s Sav’ine Guard series and introduces the elite unit of corporate soldiers who protect the interest of the companies they serve.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
As the youngest of four girls in her family, seven years younger than her closest sibling, Stacy Bender was always forced to entertain herself. Comic books and television were entertainment staples in her house, but her fondest memories include having her Dad read to her every night, which she concluded by kissing him on the end of his nose and giggling.
The movie “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir” sparked her interest in writing. The movie, based on a 1945 novel written by R. A. Dick (the pseudonym for Josephine Leslie), is about a ghost, Daniel Gregg, who dictates his memoirs to a young widow named Lucy, resulting in a bestseller. Eventually the two fall in love and in the end, before she dies, he lifts her spirit gently out of her body and they walk out the door hand in hand.
Ms. Bender has always had a wild imagination and writes the stories in her head before putting them on paper, saying that once she starts, it’s easy to lose track of time. When she is not writing, she is gardening, antiquing, reading, cooking, and spending time with good friends.
Here is a link to her publishers page where you can even see a picture of her beloved cat, Montgomery Python:

I ove the title of Ms. Bender’s book. I can’t wait to read it for two reasons (1) the storyline is interesting and (2) I love the story about the movie that sparked her interst in writing. I’m going looking for that movie.
