A LETTER FROM ESTHER MITCHELL
Welcome to my world. A lot of people ask me what it's like to be a writer, or how I come up with ideas. A writer's style, like their subject, is totally a matter of personality and experience. Some of us are gifted with blessed lives, which allow us to envision Happily Ever After not as a distant dream, but as a daily reality. Others, like myself, see the world through a realist's eyes. We've experienced pain and loss intensely, and come to realize that no Fairytale ending is perfect. |
As for how I come up with ideas... I was both blessed and cursed
to have been given a vast range of experiences to draw from.
I've learned to embrace the darkness within, and to craft from it
a light that is even brighter for the darkness in which it was
born.
They say to know a writer, you must first know her work. I
don't know about everyone, but this is certainly the case for
me. So, I welcome you to take a peek into all the things that
make me. Take a walk into my most terrifying nightmares, and
my most erotic fantasies. Walk with me as I reveal what makes
a woman a slave to her fears, and what elevates her to the status
of Priestess. Join me as I show you what makes a hero truly
heroic... The answer might just surprise you.
Yours,
Esther Mitchell
