SLWG
Author Series: New Book Spotlight
In
October, the SLWG Author Series event featured the New Book Spotlight. A couple
of times a year St. Louis Writers Guild showcase some member’s new books. This
time, we featured two area authors Fedora Amis and Denise Elam Dauw.
The SLWG
Author Series is held on the third Thursday of the month at All on the Same
Page Bookstore, 11052 Olive Blvd. The interviews are streamed live online and
recorded to be posted on www.stlwritersguild.net.
St. Louis Writers Guild members are sent a link and can watch and interact with
the event live online.
The
SLWG Author Series: New Book Spotlight showcased:
Jack the Ripper in St. Louis by
Fedora Amis
And
If Music be the Food of Love by
Denise Elam Dauw
Fedora Amis
Fedora Amis won the Mayhaven Fiction
Prize for her Victorian whodunit, Jack the Ripper in St. Louis. She dons
corset and hoop skirts to perform as real historical people and imagined characters
from the 1800s. Fedora loves live theater, travel, plants and cooking. She
has one son, Skimmer, who partners Fedora in writing science fiction and
fantasy. “Why do I write? I love words—always have--reading them, writing them.
I even like looking them up in the dictionary. So call me eccentric. Call me crazy—but
call me a writer.”
Denise Elam Dauw

west St. Louis, Missouri. She holds a M.M. in Music Education from the
