OP: Tell us a little bit about TORN BETWEEN. What is it about?

An accident leaves Gabriella less than whole. Gabriella dies during the accident and is revived by some other vacationers that happen to be nurses, but she has left something in the realm of The Between during her short moment of death- half of her soul. The Between is junction or weigh station for souls of the departed, but it is full of darkness and despair. Gabriella must find a way to retrieve the missing half of her soul before the entities that took it come for the rest of it.
OP: Why did you decide to write this story?

OP: What is special about your book?

OP: Have you published any other books?
Stacey: Yes, I have six poetry books, one children’s book, a short story book, and an Affirmation Journal published so far.
OP: Do you plan to publish more?
Stacey: Yes, I am currently working on another fiction novel called, “Someone is Always Watching,” which is a spin-off from one of my short stories in my, “Strange Happenings” book about a serial killer. I am also co-authoring a children’s book with my eleven-year-old granddaughter, and I am writing a new poetry book.
OP: Thanks for your time, Stacey! We look forward to learning more about you as you visit other bloggers!
