Saylor Storm
Reality becomes fantasy, or is it that imagination turns into real life experience? Saylor Storm is fascinated by how frequently the line between reality and fantasy crosses in her writing practice. She feels that writing novels is an astonishing way to play with something from real life and turning into something fun or playful and sometimes a bit twisted.
Her characters all experience real life joy and pain, reinvention, survival and victory. They share the process of evolution and expansion. The places in her stories take place where she has lived or visited, from the beaches of Malibu to the islands in Fiji and destinations in between, including the monastery in one of her novels.
Saylor’s stories reflect her many personal interests including fitness, wine, healthy foods. She’s intrigued by the spiritual world and that of metaphysics. She hopes the reader is as entertained reading her books as she is writing them.
One of Saylor’s many passions is hiking. Readers can enjoy fabulous photos of her treks posted on her Facebook page, author Saylor Storm. She loves hearing from her readers. You can reach her at www.SaylorStorm.com
Review
Ellen feels alone and decides to try internet dating. She goes out on a date with Jim and he seems to be the perfect guy. Unfortunately he is the farthest thing from that. When Ellen disappears her family and friends make it their mission to find Ellen no matter what. And Ellen, she is going to go through a lot, let’s just hope she makes it out alive.
This is an amazing story and one that I can see happening in real life. Ellen is so naïve and just wants to find someone to be with. I really liked how her family and friends keep doing everything they could to try and get her back. Basking in the Light has some tough moments but it just adds to the book.
I help teach self-defense and if I could I would make all of the female students read this just to get them to wake up to the realities of life. I wouldn’t wish this situation on anyone. Hopefully besides being a great story it will help other people to think for a couple extra seconds on their actions.
I received Basking in the Light for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
