My award-winning book, The Blue Man and Premier Readers’ Award certificate
Many thanks to Pauline and Clive and the Chill with a Book team for choosing my novel for Book of the Month. I first received word on Valentine’s Day that The Blue Man was in the shortlist for Book of the Month when I found out I had won a Premier Readers’ Award.
Congratulations also to my fellow joint winner, Kathryn Gauci. She’s a USA Today best-selling author of primarily Historical fiction. I shall be adding her book to my ever-growing tbr list!
Leilanie Stewart is an author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She has written four novels, including award-winning ghost horror, The Blue Man, as well as three poetry collections. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis of identity and create a new sense of being. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry.
In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Magazine, a creative writing literary journal with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
