About the Book
The dance between words on a page has the ability to move us in many directions. How we react to those words, both as a reader and a writer, tells more about ourselves than we might think. The dance is not just the rhythm and flow of words. It is also the underlying meaning of the relationships we have with others — the thoughts and feelings we hold, and share. Whether our lives are touched by poetry or not, words have staying power beyond pen on paper, words spoken aloud. It is not always what we write that carries weight in our lives, but what we don’t write — the pauses, the spaces between where we stop — the unwritten words. Truths often live between those lines.

THE RIVER: A Collection of Short Stories by Stephen Jon Schares This collection of stories starts in one place, and ends up in another. In between are splices of what our lives are - humor, pathos, irony, sarcasm, insight, the brevity of life - all sides of the same coin. The things that bind us, just as often divide us. THE OLD LADY IN THE NEWSPAPER by Stephen Jon Schares The Old Lady in the Newspaper doesn't tell people what they want to hear. She tells them what they need to hear. Freda is her own woman. She is one of a kind, and proud of it. She tells it like it is-The World According to Freda. People living on the fringes of their minds now have a Messiah. Just not the one they hoped for.
